This villa and our overall stay could not have been more perfect! The villa was at the bottom of all other villas and had maximum privacy. we were 5 women staying together. The 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms were exactly what we needed. The private plunge pool and two outdoor areas to watch sunrise, sunsets, and the beautiful sea were breathtaking. Katerina and her team were in constant communication helping us whenever we needed. We were provided private transfers to and from the airport as well as to Fira, the wineries and Kamari. The sweet house-keeper ensured we had fresh drinking water and cleaned the villa and did laundry when we needed. A nice added touch was having porters help with our luggage on the steep stairs. Katerina and Irina helped with recommendations for restaurants and tips on less-crowded sunset viewing spots. Their recommendation for an inexpensive meal at the top of the stairs to the villa, Skala, was our go-to spot for amazing, mouth-watering grape leaves. If you're looking for a quiet retreat from the hustle and crowds of Oia, don't hesitate in booking Katerina's villa. We could not have wished for a better home for our week in Oia!

Ifestio Villas was exactly what we sought in our Oia vacation. Oia has gotten rather crowded, especially when the cruise ships are in port, and it was wonderful being able to escape down the stairs to our own private retreat, enjoying the plunge pool overlooking the caldera. Katerina was the consummate hostess, arranging transportation to/from the airport and taking time to tell us all about the island -- the spots to hit and the ones to avoid. Her restaurant recommendations were spot on. An unexpected benefit were food basics (bread, milk, juice, and wine (of course)), especially appreciated after our overnight flight from Dublin. Anna the housekeeper kept accommodations clean on a daily basis and even helped out with personal laundry needs. Excellent location, gracious hospitality -- we would stay here again.

The location and views were perfect. Our host, Katerina, was so accommodating and helpful. She really went above and beyond to make us feel welcome.

Our family enjoyed a three night stay at Ifestio villas, and loved our time there. The villa is perfectly located in the heart of Ia, with incredible views. Despite being in the midst of the town, the villa is quiet and peaceful. Katerina was a wonderful host - we appreciated the lovely touches like fresh juice and breakfast items, as well as her detailed information about things to do on the island. The accommodation was comfortable and authentic. We hope to return.
