  : We loved the location, the two hot tubs (one inside and one outside). Both were kept at suitable temperatures. The bed was comfortable and the place had a good amount of sockets/plugs. The kitchen had a decent amount of crockery and bathroom though small waa beautiful. The whole place was gobsmackingly beautiful. With the excellent location, we were able to get up early before the crowds and walk all over Oia. The staff were also great. The young lady met us at the drop off and gave us lots of helpful information.
  : The breakfast. The variety was minimal and it arrived daily in cardboard boxes. All the villas next door had their breakfasts laid out on trays with what appeared to be a wide selection. This was what I expected (since I had stayed in a similar property before) but was disappointed. It was also late on a couple of mornings. Unfortunately, the breakfast alone, for the price we paid means we will not be back.

  : great location right in the heart of Oia (which we felt was a huge advantage - it's boiling hot out in the streets in August), with a great view of both the picturesque white houses and the ocean, great catered breakfast served to your door. Eleni was always on top of things and instantly responding.
  : this should be depending on the guests - but for us, having a jacuzzi inside the hotel room was a no. the smell of Chlorine and the moisture were uncomfortable.

  : location and views are breathtaking. Eleni our concierge was amazing and arranged anything we needed. The villa was throughly cleaned everyday with water supplied fresh every day breakfast provided each morning on time everyday delivered to your door by local catering company to eat over the amazing views.
  : the only criticism is hot meal breakfast was not piping hot when delivered

  : The electricity does go out on the island and it did go out once for us. The hot tub temperature are Luke warm at best. You have to switch a button to prepare hot water if you want a hot shower.

Disappointing

  : The only 2 redeeming aspects of the property - - location (pretty central to all cafs restaurants and main square, though the views are corner view of the caldera and there are properties with better views) - the concierge service operated by Eleni . She was a total sweetheart, very prompt, gave good restaurant recommendations and made reservations on our behalf. I have given 4 stars only for her.
  : Where do I even begin with our series of disappointments. My partner and I were really excited to stay at this luxurious boutique villa overlooking the caldera. Having paid almost 600/ night for 3 nights, we thought we would be pampered and how. However , the experience was quite the opposite-1. the breakfast - extremely poor quality packed food (10 packed meal with no options and substandard food. other villas has butler service with choice of exotic fruits, veggies. here you get some scrambled eggs,or sad granola with green yogurt with 4 cut pieces of pear) , one croissant and one glass orange juice. No fresh coffee/tea. Definitely not breakfast of champions. We ended up spending 100 + for our breakfast from the next door cafe. I was appalled to see the quality and quantity of breakfast because Greece offers such amazing breakfast options and Greek food overall has been outstanding at any of the restaurants n bars.2. location - the location is underwhelming. While it is centrally located and offers views of caldera, mind you, the view is from an angle. Very clever marketing.3. Pool- the pool is a scam too. its a jacuzzi without heated water so one cant use it in evenings. the size is laughable (2 audits can barely fit in) and other places offer far more fancier plunge pools.4. Jacuzzi inside the room- we didnt use it but the room constantly had a whiff of chlorine.Very unpleasant smell.5. Transport - we thought spending 1700+ for 3 nights meant luxurious pick up and drop. Instead a mini bus was sent to us at extra charge. No premium experience. No bottled water during the 30 min journey, or snacks. I feel the host really skimmed on extras and went to offer bare minimum7. Poor air con- The AC was as good as non existent . Even at 18C, the room was barely cool.6. Poor overall service - I really hope the host Maria takes this review in spirit and becomes a bit generous with guests.
