The property was perfect for our family of five. We were originally going to be a party of eight. That would have made things tight. Be aware, the bathroom on the main level is extremely small. A big person would find it difficult to use. The pool was wonderful, and it is close to the beach.

The house is lovely and is exactly as pictured. It had everything needed for a wonderful stay. Communication with the host was quick and thoughtful. The host also owns a hotel and his staff was available to us to answer any questions we had and they were kind and very, very helpful. One thing to consider about this rental is its location. We knew it was out of the way, but not aware of how expensive it can be to travel via taxi/uber ($30-$40 just to Fira and $60 to the airport which was only 4-5 miles away). We were told there were restaurants and a store near by but had trouble finding them. With thanks to the host's staff we realized we had to take a path at the end of the road, then wall through another path to get there - about a 10 minute walk. There were 3 restaurants, a terrific small market and a bus stop. The bus runs to Fira on the hour for $2 each way which was easy and only a 20 minute ride. If you wish to reach other areas of the island it might be best to rent a car.

We arrived and the place looked great. I rented with the expectation of doing laundry from the first leg of our trip but the washer broke. It took three days and almost no communication for a replacement that arrived the night before we left while out on an excursion. The property was beautiful but not as clean as it should have been. We had reservations but the pool was dirty and we skimmed it ourselves with a skimmer we found in the garage. The mattresses and pillows were very bad. There were no instructions on how to reach a taxi, how to operate any of the appliances, and where we could find stores and what not. A few updates and a good cleaning between residents would make this a five star!

We had a wonderful time staying in this villa in Santorini! This villa is on the quiet side of the island which was great. We took a catamaran tour on the water around the island and saw the sunset and we also were able to take a day trip to Ammoudi Bay then retreat from the touristy areas. We were a very short walk to the beach which was very private as well as to an area with a market and a few great restaurants in both directions. My family loved the pool even though all of our children are in their thirties. Our host was extremely responsive and even helped us arrange transportation since we did not have a car. We even loved all the cats that came to visit!
