Right well where do i start...... Firstly we were badly let down by another host 6 weeks to travel ! I found Emmanouils property and contacted him and explained what had happened, he offered to hold the property until airbnb had deposited the funds back into my account taking 7 days ( not a normal thing a host would do in peak season ) and basically totally saved our holiday. From then on it was bliss ! he arranged our transport from the Airport which was a life saver as it was really busy and the driver had us out in no time. We arrived in Oia and some one met us and took all our luggage down to the cave villa. The location was excellent literally just 2 mins walk from where the taxi drops you off, you go down some Winding stairs then have your own set of private stairs leading to the property which was really cool. We were so surprised how private the cave villa was and big ! and what a view but we will talk about that later. The fridge was fully stocked and we were given a mobile phone to call them if we needed anything, later nick named the "bat phone". Breakfast was included every morning which we had not expected ( was amazing )and the cleaners came every day at a time that suited you. The next morning we woke to the most breathtaking view, you can see as many pictures online as you like but none of them stack up to the real thing. It was quite hot at times so having your own private cave pool to jump into wasn't bad either :) The sunsets really blew us away, tourists would turn up just to get a glimpse of what we saw every night !! it really was a special place and we knew we had absolutely nailed it ! Emmanouil came to see us the next day to make sure everything was alright and even brought us a bottle of the local red wine. The holiday was a dream and staff were truly AMAZING !!! So much so we are booked in next year and leaving the kids with the In laws again for a week.......
Best holiday ever, thank you Emmanouil for saving the day.
