I can't say enough good things about this little slice of heaven on the beach. We initially thought we'd stay in Fira or Oia for our 5 days in Santorini. I am so glad we decided to stay here, on the beach, just 15-20 minutes from each town. We used our rental car to explore the island for our various activities, but coming home to this place to enjoy the beach and beside restaurants was the perfect ending to our busy days. 4 adults and one kiddo slept perfectly. The sun rises right outside the outside terrace. We would definitely stay here again!
The place is very nice and in a unique location on Santorini. Itâs away from the towns and the congestion, which is nice. However, if you plan on venturing around the island, I would highly recommend renting a car. Using Google maps made it easy to navigate the island and the driving is pretty easy if you just pay attention. The patio and the view is very unique with the little harbor right in front of the place. The location has a few restaurants and shops. Which are a bit rundown as compared to the towns, but Iâm sure theyâre fine. Look like quite a few locals come to the spot on the weekends. This place is centrally located on the island and very close to the airport. To go to the north takes about 20 to 25 minutes and go to the south takes the same time.
Great location across the road from the sea. Gabriel and Anna were excellent hosts. Beautiful sunrises and a quiet area. We recommend to anyone planning a trip to Santorini.
Exceeded expectations. Very roomy. Gorgeous view. Loved the front patio. Had everything we needed. A car to get around the island is a must. Host was amazing. Would highly recommend.
The home is wonderful. The location is quiet and peaceful but you must have a car to get anywhere. There is very little to do on the island during the winter months and the ocean is very cold. Perfect for anyone that wants to unplug for a few days. Host fixed hot water issues immediately and was very friendly.
House is right on the shore, steps from the beach. Out of the main tourist areas, but easy to use bus system to get anywhere on the island. Gabriel's house is nicely updated and he and Anna were good at commun- ication.
Beautiful area, Santorini key areas all within a short distance, quiet and away from the crowds. Outdoor space allowed us to enjoy the evenings and spectacular sunrise. The beach nearby is perfect for a swim and local restaurants served great food and all super helpful.
Host Anna was very attentive although we had no issues at the well appointed property. Highly recommend!! anfriendly. spmorning sunrise from thefrom the crowds. EX
We could not have picked a more perfect place to spend an amazing 2 weeks plus with my husband, mother and my sister. Easy access, amazing views, great places to eat and a fun beach to play in the waves. Morning sunrises were spectacular and evening sun sets from the pier equally awe inspiring. Home was immaculate and had everything we needed. Thanks Gabriel!!
My husband and I had the most amazing time.It is a fabulous location, wonderful accommodations. The hosts were so fantastic at securing us a rental car, a personal cooking class with a local chef, and general Q&A from us about what to do, where to go etc.
When we return to the island we most cettainly will return to this Lovely Home!
We really enjoyed our time here. The contact with our host was fantastic and her recommended wine tour with Klara was amazing and a very unique tour.
Monolithos beach is very close but property does not back on to beach. The beach is beautiful.
Bus stop was close to us, times not very regular but fit into our schedule to go to Fira and took 20-30 minutes to get there.
The place was nice, when we got to the place there was sand on the couches. Beds were quite comfortable.
Overall would recommend this place for young families and would return.
We unfortunately got caught up in the air traffic control issues on the bank holiday Monday - so our flight was cancelled. Steph and Gabriel were so supportive as we managed through the situation and managed to get flights the following evening from a different airport - and thankfully we were able to stay for an extra day. House is lovely - especially the outside area. it is very quiet area but it is nice as long as you have transport to get around. There is a good bus service to Fira but if you really want to explore you need to hire a car or like us hire quad bikes. Steph was amazing in booking this for us, and being on hand at all times during the holiday to help us - thank you so much, it really made a difference to our stay. Captain Lorenzo's restaurant was excellent - we eat there a few times. Definitely recommend but just be aware of the location - it is perfect - as long as you have some transport. Thanks for a great week.
The pictures showed a beautiful property but did not paint an accurate portrait of the overall state of the house. It was dusty on the inside and the bed and bath linen were unpleasant to use and should have been thrown away and new ones provided. Washing machine, kettle etc needs to be replaced as well. Owner very pleasant and helpful but the property needs tender loving care. Lovely location and easy access to the beach and eating venues. Also easy to and from the airport and to Fira and surrounding towns.
From the help we received organizing family activities from the host beforehand to the lovely property and stay we really enjoyed our holiday. Monolithos (and beach) are perfect for families and the home made for a perfect setting for a family holiday
