1000000% recommend this stay. It is incredible - Pyrgos is perfect and WAY better than Oía and Fira - our favorite views for sunset were up at the castle and there were only 2-4 other people there. The host Theodoris is amazing with great personal recommendations and such friendliness. He made reservations for us (go to Venetsanos winery!) and set up our ATV rental (highly recommend!) as well as a catamaran tour. Ms. Dorina’s breakfasts were so delicious and the highlight of our mornings. 10 mins to Fira, 20-25 mins to Oía. Felt very safe and lovely, peaceful and lively - all the perfect amounts. My husband and I were here for our anniversary and we had such an incredible time - 10 out of 5 stars!!!! Do not pass on this place. You will be so happy you’re not staying in the tourist crowd/madness but you can venture in easily whenever you want. The hot tub and pool were a beautiful addition and it was so relaxing to enjoy the views from these. Theodoris even left us a nice bottle of wine - which we took with us up to Pyrgos Castle for sunset. Very clean, beautiful space, and excellent service. Best place to stay on the island, cannot recommend enough.
