“Stop looking. Book this one.”

We had the unique experience of staying at both properties provided by Avant Garde. We originally booked the regular suite option and were upgraded to the superior suite for our final night. Both are exceptional. Initially I believed the room had multiple suites per option as we saw two views associated with the property. We learned that the suite actually has a terrace at the front (with an umbrella, table and chairs and two sun loungers) and a terrace at the back (with another table and chairs and a jacuzzi with a large pillow to sunbathe on if you wish). So you have a caldera/island view as well as a view of the other side of Santorini. The suite had everything we needed: cutlery, fridge, air con, hairdryer, iron, toiletries, plenty of towels and even bathrobes and slippers. The superior suite was also lovely. It had a larger jacuzzi that faced the caldera and two lounge chairs on the larger front terrace and also had a terrace at the back with a table and chairs. The superior suite also had a “one bedroom” layout as opposed to a “studio” layout so it is more spacious. I don’t think I have booked an apartment that made me regret booking an expensive cocktail bar for a view as we immediately fell in love with the terrace. We actually cancelled the meal we had booked for the final night and opted for a takeaway on the terrace. We used efood but probably should have just looked into it more as Da Vinci’s around the corner also did takeaway. Santorini doesn’t really use street names/addresses so if you are like us and want to know how far of a walk/drive XYZ location is just look for Onar restaurant on google maps as it is directly across the street (even seen in one of the pictures, but it is not visible when you are sitting down on the balcony or in the front facing jacuzzi in the Superior Suite). The location was ideal. So peaceful at night and only a short walk to Fira (10-20minutes) which flies by as the views on the walk are breathtaking.

“Perfect place to stay when in Santorini”

We absolutely loved our stay in Santorini and the apartment was perfect for the two of us. Great location and very helpful staff. There were plenty of nice restaurants close by and plenty to see and do. Would 100% stay here again it was fabulous

“Amazing stay. We were a family of 5, so booked two rooms. Will definitely come back”

Everything. Location for walking to restaurants, great views from our rooms. And the staff were so helpful

“Perfect location in central Firostefani, spectacular views, Air Conditioned suite with plunge pool! We loved it.”

We only stayed one night here but it was wonderful! Our flight from UK was delayed by a few hours which meant we didn’t arrive until 8.30pm but Caterina our host was lovely and so helpful in arranging a transport from the airport and booking a restaurant for us in Firostefani. The location was perfect, overlooking the caldera, with spectacular views. The room was comfortable and had its own plunge pool, and separate terrace and AC! Complimentary beers and water in the fridge, as well as Nespresso machine was a nice touch. We would recommend the property to anyone looking for central Firostefani location, nice hosts and views of the caldera.
