“Close all the other tabs, pick this hotel instead.”
Room - awesome. Pool - wonderful. View - spectacular. Honestly my mind was blown at the view, and waking up there each morning was an absolute pleasure. I'm usually not a morning person, but when you're greeted with that view, it's hard not to smile each morning that you open your shutter doors. The cute little private balcony with breakfast table and chairs is a great feature too. Bed was sooooo comfy, I felt like I was in a cloud, and the bathroom, while small, was perfect size for me. The staff - oh my god, the staff were so great. I mainly interacted with Nikolina on front desk - wow, that's service! So nice from the moment I arrived to the moment I left, and so helpful and good at explaining things and even helped get me set up with an ATV company that picked me up from the villa. Then the breakfasts each morning were a delight. The staff greet you with a smile, and aside from the hot and continental breakfast, they bring you out a special daily surprise, that is a different Greek dish/treat each morning. What a great unique feature! I loved being surprised each morning! I honestly didn't want to leave. Proximity to everything in Firostefani is easy walking, and then bus to Fira is closeby, and then the villa is already on the path that leads to your hike to Oia. Couldn't have been easier in my opinion.

Amazing view, located a bit outside of main area, thus less crowded and noisy but still close to everything needed. Great breakfast, friendly staff, nice pool.
