This was one of the best places we have stayed. We highly recommend it for anyone who wants to experience true Santorini. We did not expect it to be so calm amd serene considering the amount of tourists in the area but it was exactly what you would want in a vacation rental. The host Mary was extremely helpful and attentive and the place itself was so big and clean. It was an experience we are recommending to all of our friends. You honestly cannot get a better location and as far as the tourists taking pictures and entering the private gate, we did not find it hindered our enjoyment of this place. There were not that many people and most respect your privacy. We would book this place again in a heartbeat and thank Mary and her staff for a great experience.
