What a view ! We spent an amazing time at the villa… which was very clean and gorgeous. Spending relaxing time in the infinity pool overlooking the sea. Steps away from restaurants, quiet, not to close to the busy streets. Staff were oustanding ! Would go back anytime
We decided as a group that this was our favorite VRBO! It will exceed all of your expectations. It has beyond breathtaking views. The home is gorgeous. You are pampered daily with a private chef to make breakfast and maid service.
We loved the outdoor space. It is the perfect place to hang out as a family. The views are stunning. The location was perfect. You have lots of privacy because you don’t walking paths right next to your outdoor space.
Yanni was the perfect host. He arranged a delicious private dinner for us, gave recommendations for activities, restaurants and transportation. I didn’t expect a concierge level of hosting but that’s what he provided.
Anyone who wants an exceptional place in Santorini will love this home.
We were extremely pleased with our stay at Villa Dio and would highly recommend it to others. Yani, the Manager for the property, was extremely helpful with coordination before our stay, including organizing the taxi transfer from the port to the Villa. He met us personally at the top and had our luggage brought down by one of the bell boys. At the villa, he spent the time required to advise us of all the things that would be relevant for us and was extremely helpful in organizing our activities, including renting a car for the day as well as potentially organizing a guide at Akrotiri.
As far as the villa is concerned, its location is fantastic with unobtrusive views of the caldera, the living space as well as the bedrooms are gracious. It is in immaculate condition and there was daily cleaning service.
In terms of Firostefani, we couldn't have asked for a better location. For our first two visits to Santorini, we had stayed in a hotel in Oia. However, the towns of Oia and Thera have unfortunately been over-run by significant crowds, including the daily ones from the cruise ships who descend on the two largest towns. Firostefani is quiet and peaceful from that perspective, yet there are restaurants and convenience stores which provide for all of one's basic needs.
So, all in all, we couldn't have been more pleased and would highly recommend this property. The only thing that we would have loved to have had in a property of this quality is a plunge pool, as it gets really hot in Santorini at this time of the year. I am told that this may be in the offering in the future.
