Where do I even begin? This was one of the most incredible places that I’ve ever stayed. It was super spacious, impeccably decorated and designed, and had a beautiful view. From waking up to the sounds of the waves hitting the shore, to watching the docks ebb and flow with boats and people throughout the day and evening was heavenly. Even though the hill is definitely a hike, we did it everyday and really appreciated being away from Oia’s touristy crowds and tight quarters. If you don’t feel like making the climb, there are multiple restaurants feet away or the hosts can arrange a cab.
Finally, I’d also note that this didn’t feel like a typical Airbnb, where you are handed the keys and left to do your own devices. You can see from their profile that this family runs a successful rental business. Our spot felt like a luxury villa rental: maids come every day, someone separately cleans the pool, and not only do they book restaurant and cabs for you, but they had the restaurant manager at one spot on speed dial because it’s more difficult to get ahold of.
Next time I come to Greece, there is no doubt I’ll look at their listings first!!
