When people go to Santorini, they tend to stay in the commerical areas of Oia and Fira. But there is a beautiful life past these areas that offer you privacy, seclusion and tranquility. This resort offers this and so much more. We stayed at this resort for 4 nights at the start of July 2013. The trip was for my wedding, which took place there and then we continued on for a few more days for a family holiday. We hired 3 of the 5 villas at this resort. The villas are beautiful and the owners should be so proud of the time they spent with the designers and architects. Each of the 3 villas we had were closely positioned, so whilst each of the family had their own space, they could step out of their villa, walk across a cobbled path and spend the day at the main villa with the rest of the group. All the villas were beautifully decorated, the kitchens well equipped and very comfortable. The pool area was great, especially with the view out to the sea. We had a barbeque on the first night. After arriving late due to delays to our flight - we had to go to the super market - whilst the boys went - the owner kindly started the barbeque for us to get the coals heating..... this is just the start of the amazing service we received. Breakfast was provided for us as part of our booking/package in the outdoor dining area of the owner's house which is on site. We taught them how we like our omlettes (with tomatos from their garden) and then they made them like this every day. We were served with fresh pastries - sweet and savory - some new and delicious every day. The wedding was in the garden and was conducted perfectly. There is always apprehension of how it will turn out when you are organising it from abroad and over email - having not seen the place but it was fantastic. We had cars included with the villas which was a great bonus for super market trips, driving to the restaurant in the evening and having the freedom to see the island in the day. The whole family are sad to be back at work and wish they were still in Santorini. They are hoping we bring them back out for our one year anniversairy. Nonetheless we will be back one day to spend another holiday at this residence. It was truly stunning and we couldn't have asked for anything more.

This property has a great feel to it and is in a remote fishing village, but only a 10 minute drive to Fira. I stayed here with my sister and 3 teenage children. The villa was a great size and easily accommodated us all. We had our own pool and was a great relaxing place to be after the days activities. You definitely need a car. Although a bit treacherous to drive on the small streets with big tour buses, it was easy to get around the entire island. The owner is exceptionally wonderful and the breakfasts she brought were homemade local foods that were delicious. They are definitely on Greek time....so a few mornings we missed it as we left too early. She helped us with local tours and was a great source of knowledge. We saw the island from tip to tip and found the black, red and white beaches. We even went to the outdoor movie house which was a fun night. The villa has a small beautiful black beach just 300 meters down the road with a nice local taverna. There is another close taverna called Roza's that had great local food and vegetables from the garden. Our favorite restaurant in Fira was Argos with the beautiful view of the sunset. We had a great adventure kayaking and was able to spend some time amongst the white rocks which are magnificent. You can only access them by boat. We also toured the volcano and hot springs which were a bit disappointing.....but I suppose a must see. Oia was a beautiful village, but we had our most fun walking around the base of the water port where we found a great place to swim and jump off rocks.

This resort was selected by our travel agent, so we didn't know much about the place beforehand. When we arrived, we were amazed. It is a collection of 5 villas, each with its own kitchen and outdoor dining area. Ours was a beautiful two bedroom, two bath villa with a living area and a private pool. I think they all have a view of the ocean, and the beach is a short walk down the road. We could have spent the entire week sitting there in the shade by the pool watching the kids play and enjoying the view. The villa was far nicer then any place else we have ever stayed. But the best part is the owner. Every morning she cooks breakfast, whatever you want, and brings it to you at the time you requested, and it is wonderful. Plus she'll tell you all about the island, where to go, what to see and how to get there. She'll recommend restaurants and call ahead for you. She even gave us her mobile number in case we had questions while we were out. She is the ultimate hostess. Our stay could not have been more pleasant. We did not want to leave.

We just came back from a lovely week in Santorini. This villa happened to be a perfect place to spend with our 3-year-old kid: Private swimming pool, proper kitchen, beautiful view on the sea, easy access to Fira and most of the major attractions in the island. The car rental was included in the price and fully managed by the owner, who took good care of us including home made bread and pies! And we were 10 minutes away from the Caldera view without the too touristic stress. I do recommend it!

This villa is an excellent place to relax with your family. I was there this summer. The staff were very polite. The place was magic very close to the seashore and to FIRA downtown. I strongly propose it to families if they want to have perfect summer holidays.

We planned a trip to Santorini for my 40th birthday and travelled with our 4 year old daughter. This place was everything we were looking for and more. The owner is the perfect host and was instrumental in making our stay so special. In addition to providing us with regular and delicious home made culinary treats she also surprised me with a birthday cake and candles on my birthday. We were in contact with her for quite some time prior to arrival and she was both friendly and incredibly helpful at all times. As a result, it felt more like meeting a friend upon our arrival. We had our own private guesthouse and pool along with a fantastic undercover outdoor area. Eating breakfast outside each morning was a highlight of our stay here along with the stunning ocean view. The accommodation is clean, spacious, colourful and comfortable and perfect for families. We were able to get to both Fira and Oia easily and appreciated having the best of both worlds as a result. Santorini is stunning and staying at this villa was part of what made this trip so memorable. If you are looking for somewhere to stay in Santorini - this is the place to stay!

These villas have excellent reviews which are fully justifed. The villas are well equipped, spacious and each has a small pool with seating space and a BBQ. A car is included as are transfers from and to the airport (or in our case from Oia and to the airport), breakfast is also included. The owners have been very responsive to the needs of guests. We stayed in this villa, near the entrance and perhaps the most 'public' of the villas but this is all relative, it felt very private to us and we had a great week here. These villas are on the non caldera side of the island. We orignally booked 10 days in a villa in Oia and a month before our travel were informed that the villa we booked was no longer available. We were so lucky this one was available and we spent a fabulous three days in Oia and were pleased the following week was here which is so tranquil by comparison and also better placed for exploring the whole island. We would throughly recommend this villa would happily return.
