illious villa was not just an Air B and B, it was our true home for 5 days. What a paradise in Pyrgos on Santorini.!!!!
This villa sparkles inside and out with landscaped patios and garden, 360 degree sea and mountain views , and a spacious modern interior with traditional Greek architecture.
The location is perfect in the centre of the island with easy access to ALL the sites, yet away from the insane crowds in Oia and Fira.
The town is perfect with lovely restaurants, car rental, hiking paths and groceries within easy walking distance.
The real gem of this place though is Illiou herself. She is an outstanding host, providing the most elegant service. Every morning she will bring you Greek breakfasts with fruit , eggs, juice, coffee and more pastries than you can handle. Her mother is an excellent chef, so the omelettes, fruit flans, and home made pizzas were simply delicious. We were even treated one day to a special vintage wine from a local winery. Illiou is a very special person. Her attention alone is worth the stay here.
Relaxing under the stars in the hot tub at night or the splash pool by day is a refreshing added bonus.
We cannot recommend this villa more highly. It was simply exceptional. Thank you dear Illiou and family. Valerie and I will treasure this stay forever.
