    Our room had a very intense paint smell

    The location was fantastic! The views from our room were incredible. The staff was kind and helpful in many ways, including helping with arranging excellent transportation from the port/ airport. The breakfast was wonderful and made our mornings great.

    There was a frequent odour from the sewerage system or cooking odours from the nearby Onar restaurant. For the price, I would expect these odours would be eliminated or the nightly rate reduced to compensate for the inconvenience.

    I liked the stay, however we found other villas that were more value for money and were 4 star hotels. I think the breakfast needs to include more dairy products like cheeses and yoghurt with Granola or cereal to cater for younger guests. The three wooden stools were a hazard for young kids as they kept toppling. It was stressful to ensure an accident didn't happen. Also the little area above the stairs needs to be closed off as kids might accidentally fall over the stairs.

    Arrange to have someone meet you somewhere near the hotel as it is very hard to find. The address in Google maps puts you in a slightly different location. They need to try to put out a few more signs. Also. even though cars are super cheap to rent ($17/day) I recommend NOT renting as there is basically no parking anywhere.

    We rented this place primarily for the view and were not disappointed. Lots of restaurants very close. Breakfast is served out on the balcony with the view below. Super friendly staff, they are the owners.

    All was good!

    Location was great. 10 min walk from the craziness of Fira, so it wasn’t too busy around, yet close enough to get to the action by foot. Breakfast was delivered everyday sharp, and super friendly staff. We got the 2 floor unit which had 2 bathrooms and a hot tub which was great! The only thing to consider (which doesn’t seem avoidable if you also want a view) is that you’ll have a bunch of randoms close to your unit regularly taking pictures cause the view is that good!

    Nothing to mention. It’s not an issue but it at reception if some one is there to speak English or understand it would help But it’s not a big issue

    Location is perfect Not too surrounded by crowd Right close to road but also facing caldera Amazing staff Really great hospitality They went overboard and allowed to check in early and check in late (since it was available) Felt like home My daughter loved it We enjoyed warm water jacuzzi

    If mobility is a problem, then the steps could be a problem as the bed is on a mezzanine up steep steps from the lounge, and there are many steps leading from the taxi drop-off point to the property.

    Lovely apartment with a million dollar view. Very clean and spacious. Lots of steps, but the view was worth it. Quiet, away from passing traffic, a minute's walk to great restaurants. Wonderful breakfast included and delivered to our patio each morning.

    Nearly everything was to my liking, but the plumbing drained a bit slow in the shower—not a problem for me.

    The managers of the property were extremely helpful and kind, providing local recommendations and coordinating transport, etc. The breakfast was good! The property has a beautiful and central location for the island.

    The views of the caldera and the ocean but away enough to be quiet and peaceful in the mornings. The walls did a good job of sound proofing evening noise when we went to bed

    The view was stunning and close the multiple food and dinner choices and also had a variety of food delivery options

    Nothing really. Perfect.

    Mike is the owner and he was a fantastic host. Checked us in, helped with luggage. There is a person Saimir there and he was the best person I have ever met. So friendly. Always helpful. Took photographs of us. We were treated like family. I have a o come back here. Such genuine hospitality. And warmth. The location is perfect. Only a few steps. Parking in right opposite. Could not ask for more. A family business and I am grateful that me and my wife could experience it.

The owners & staff couldn't do enough & no requirement or request was a problem. Close to attractions & walking distance to fabulous restaurants.
