Greece now seems surreal. It was a beautiful adventure for three generations of lovely, amazing women. The whole week was an unforgettable experience that will be cherished for a lifetime! On Sunday, my sister awoke to the church bells and the Pappas chanting. This continued for two whole hours from the town square. She chose to hike to the smaller chapel, Panagia Katefiani. “The church was built between 1537 and 1650. It was built on the side of the Mesa Vouno mountain at an altitude of 200 metres. This allowed the building to withstand the attacks of pirates and invaders and survive until the present day.” -from Santorini-more.com Waking up to the bell tolls and chanting from the chapel Sunday was the most heavenly sound. Before our last dinner in Perissa, my mother spent time “talking” with our host as she gave her a tour of her beautiful garden. They at one point started to use a tablet to better converse. Lavender, rosemary, oregano, hibiscus, pomegranates, and many other lovely things that she nurtured grew there outside the villas. Upon us leaving, she gifted us with herbs from her garden.

I LOVED 😍 everything from the staff, accommodation, location, etc. the owners were pure love always greeting with a smile, with the wife providing me with Greek cakes and savoury baked goods to try. The owner is very kind, he explained everything to me on the first day (they even printed a map of Santorini to show me places I can check out) and the couple stayed up till late in the evening past 10 PM to wait for me to check in 🥰. They even filled my fridge with water so I had something to drink. Their son Jacob was amazing in communicating with me before and during my stay. I had to catch a ferry to Milos when I left and needed to print my pass, and Jacob was prompt in assisting me, making my stay and travel comfortable and stress free 🙏🏽 I had my ferry departing at 3pm and had to check out at 11am, the owners were so nice that they invited me to stay by the pool and relax till my ferry leaves. This family is truly a blessing and I would definitely stay here whenever I'm in Santorini. If your traveling alone, with friends, or family this is where you need to book. Trust me! ❤️ Also the bus is literally a 2-3 min walk, the bakery is around the corner and is open till midnight, the restaurants are open till 11pm, there are various rentals from atvs, buggy's, and electric bikes (highly recommended - check out exo experience). I rented an e-bike for $10 euro and saw Perissa Beach, Caldera view, red beach/Akratiri and the heart of Santorini all within 6-hrs. I also got to see Oia (check out around 7-8pm for sunset), Fira, the volcano, hot springs, and saw another island called Thirassia - you can do this for $30 euro 6-hrs tour guide. If you want to go into Fira it's super easy there is a timetable at the bus stop with the departing times which are frequent and run early until 11pm at night. It costs $2.5 euros, and from their you can get your connecting bus(s). I was in Santorini from May 20-24 and wish I stayed longer.

The windows are very noisy at night if the wind is persistent. For someone that is sensitive at noises it is quite hard to fall asleep.

We liked very much the view from the balcony, which is fantastic. The host are a very well trained couple that does the most they can for the guests. They even explain to you clearly what you can do on the island and that is not something that every host does. They speak very good english, which is satisfying. We came after a vacation in Spain and we really appreciate the fact that they speak english. We even had a little problem, I thought, which was that I lost something precious to me and I thought that someone stole it, but it was me who lost it. I explained to the host what I thought it happened and they were really kind and helpful. I am still so sorry for that sir, if you read this. I wish them the best and you should visit them for sure.

All was great for our one night stay

We decided last minute to take the ferry from Paros over to Santorini and enjoy Perissa for an evening as I had visited this area years ago, before spending a few hours wandering in Fila. We were able to book a room here on short notice which was terrific. Owners are super, hotel is a smaller quaint well kept hotel, complete with a pool, near stores and near the beach. Also, the hotel is a short walk to the bus station which we took to return to Fila. This is exactly what we were looking for so, although we only stayed overnight, were very happy with our stay and would definitely book here again.

There was nothing we did not like about the property.

It was a very pleasant environment with easy and safe car parking. The owners were for us, they were always very kind and helpful. Our room was cleaned every day, and all the public area was found very clean as well.

We arrived late due to flight delay. The host stayed up to welcome us and made sure we were comfortable. The beach is less than 10 minutes walk from the Villa. If I visit Santorini again, I will certainly stay at Aretousa Villa.

Very accommodating, my partner decided to come after I had booked a single room, for 25 extra a night they facilitated us. The room was really spacious, comfortable and clean. Family were lovely and seemed genuinely interested in making their guests feel welcome

We wouldn't say we didn't like anything however, this apartment did not come with a washing machine,oven or toaster so making food if your looking to do a lot of home cooked meals may be difficult but a portable stove is given. A laundrette is also available down the road but is a bit pricey so these may be things to keep in mind, but we managed for 2 weeks without these and made do of what we had.

We couldn't fault our stay at ARETOUSA Villa , We arrived to the owners helping us with our luggage and giving us refreshments and a chat about our travel there and about the area before walking us to our room, he really took his time to make sure we were comfortable and happy and reassured us that he was always there if we needed him for anything. All the staff were more than helpful, the villa got cleaned everyday by a lovely lady and the Villa owners went above and beyond to help with any queries or destinations we wanted to visit , we always received a friendly welcome too. Walking distance to supermarket, beach, restaurant's that offer all sorts of different foods and goes on for miles! beach bars too and bakery just down the road! the nearest bus stop is also just down the road that takes you all over the island. which was only 2.20 euros each to visit the capital (Fira) which is a stunning place especially at sunset, definitely worth a visit. We stayed for 2 weeks and could not put into words how much we enjoyed, they also offer breakfast in the morning between the hours of 8am and 10am which is convenient for anyone heading out for the day which includes an array of different things. The pool is very private and well maintained with a view of a palm tree and mountain. It is close enough to the town but a very peaceful place to stay. We both highly recommend staying at Aretousa villas, we believe you wont be leaving disappointed :)
