This villa was perfect for our family of 4- with 2 teenagers. The views are incredible and every part of the villa was beautiful! We loved having the separate kitchen to cook breakfast and make coffee, even when the family was still sleeping. The upper balcony sitting area was beautiful for evening sitting, games, watching the boats come in for sunset, and we used the cool plunge pool several times a day after exploring. The location is perfect- the lower caldera is roped off and marked private so you walk through the most beautiful “instagram” spots and pass all the people waiting in line to take photos- but because you are staying below you skip the line, pass them, and it’s much more quiet. Only 2 or 3 other rentals are below you- so there is not a lot of traffic once you reach yours. The host- Nicholas was amazing. He communicated several months in advance, kept in touch, and helped set up transportation and a porter. Definitely take the porter. It is included and helps a lot if you are bringing luggage and to find it easily. We were sure to tip them both trips as they were amazing! The host includes Turkish style beach towels, a drying rack, games, snorkels, a welcome basket with wine and snacks, and lots of small touches to make it feel like home. We loved watching families cliff jump from an island below, and one day walked to Ammoudi bay to do the same. You won’t want to leave. Ever! Thank you to these incredible hosts for making our trip so perfect!!
