I really liked staying here. It was off the beaten tourist path and quiet, yet just a short jaunt up to the main walking street for restaurants and shopping. Rena is a fantastic host! I was met at the airport, check-in was easy, and Rena's staff took my luggage up the stairs to a shuttle that she had arranged.
The place is very lovely and suited my needs perfectly. Espresso maker, tea, wine, and bottled water were all provided. An unexpected treat. The view of the caldera is amazing!!! I can't recommend highly enough.
Yes, it's a bit of a climb up and down stairs, but then again that's pretty normal for Oia. It's also something I personally like! Otherwise you're choice is to stay next to a throng of tourists and noise. Great exercise, and it isn't anywhere near the climb that one often has to make in Hydra and some other islands. No big deal.
