We stayed at the Lava House...it was gorgeous...the view was pretty amazing! It is slightly away from the main drag of town, so that was kind of nice. Yiannis arranged for someone to pick us up in Fira (and also to drive us to the airport at the end of our trip) to bring us to the property. He can also help arrange for certain excursions if you like.

The Lava House has a bedroom, and there are some small beds/couches in the front room. There is a kitchenette that was really nice to have...we could make coffee in the morning, heat up pastries (awwww yeah!!!), keep drinks cold in the fridge...it was very convenient.

They have reliabe wi-fi, cable tv (although you should be outside enjoying the view...turn that tv off!), and good air conditioning.

There is great space on the front balcony to hang out and enjoy the views...it's just incredible! There isn't much shade (although there is a little canopy in front of the door), so if you're not into direct sunlight, then it's not the greatest in the middle of the day, but still really nice in the mornings and the evenings. Also, if you only rent the Lava House, then the people staying at the smaller property above you will have to walk in front of your front area to get to their room. It's not a huge deal, as there really isn't much total privacy in the whole town anyway, but it's good for you to know that in case that kind of stuff bothers you. Or you could just rent the Lava House and the smaller room together, and then no problems! We actually thought it would be fun to go with a few people and just rent all of the rooms, as this place would be perfect for that.

Overall, we had a great time in Oia, and the Lava House was a really awesome place to stay!
