I would definitely recommend this listing and give it a top score! The location is away from the crowds of Fira and Oia but one still captures the quintessential experience of Santorini. The Village of Pyrgos is smaller than the main towns so you are not lost for too long in the labyrinth of traditional buildings.
The villa is newly renovated so the quality and standards are very high. I would rate this is an Airbnb Plus property for sure. The design is unique with a double volume ceiling in the main living space. The bathroom and dressing room are very spacious and the sleeping loft is extremely comfortable with a king sized bed. The decor is modern with a few traditional elements and it is very well appointed with everything that one needs.
The outside spaces are amazing. It boasts two terraces with exceptional views, a beautiful pool area with sun beds and chaise lounges, an incredible jacuzzi space reminiscent of a cave and each apartment has a lovely private outdoor area. The outdoor spaces are what sold me on the villa.
The best part of the experience is the hostess, Maria. Do everything she tells you to do! She is 100% accurate with every recommendation and knows everything about the island. She has created a network of vendors that she works with, so she knows which excursions to book and with which providers. Within minutes, she had made a number of recommendations that were perfect for what I wanted to do and within the budget I desired.
I would advise on renting a car to see as much of the island as possible. Maria will recommend a ton of restaurants and sites to visit - go everywhere she tells you to. Seeing Santorini from the water is a must so book a day of sailing. Hopefully the winds will cooperate.
This experience was definitely a 10 out of 10 for me because all the components worked so well together.
