They helped us with not only our stay but are transfers around the island and great suggestions for restaurants, beaches, ordering food, shopping and etc. Highly recommended and Vera was the greatest !
Samuel October 2021. Group trip
We spent 5 days to the place for working remotely. I would recommend. The house is really great, especially the outdoor area. The rooftop with the view on the sea is a must. Our host was highly available for us and very gentle. The neighbourhood is quite calm, a bit far from Fira (on foot) but there is still some great restaurants and bars around. The WiFi is OK but don't be too demanding. (4G available outside anyway)
Mary October 2021- Group trip
The accommodations are lovely! Vera, the property manager made our stay wonderful! There is an uphill hike to a taxi point which might be difficult for elderly or handicap. It was good exercise for us. We were able to see everything in Santorini without the tourist crowds and stress It was wonderful to have a more authentic Greek experience. We loved it!
Yvonne July 2021. Group trip
The house is beautiful just like the pictures. The location is a struggle for walking. No cars can go down there. The washer is not accessible without an additional fee, and it does not state that in the listing. The beds are very firm which is not quite comfortable for a long term stay. When you order food delivery you will have to walk 7 minutes to top of the street, to the Wisteria Apartments for pick up. The local restaurants are not familiar with the house you stay at.

We were a family of 8 and were comfortable ☺ loved the classic Greek village and home. Vera was very helpful in planning trips and reservations! ☹ The beds could be improved by making them a bit bigger and also softer.Ζωη2021-10-161.0BadJimmy2021-09-2410☺Tout ☹RienTamás2021-08-198.0Kellemes volt és kényelmes ☺KilátásJackson2020-10-021.0BadQianrou2019-10-159.6☺房间还可以,比较干净,性价比也高。 记住一定是下午两点Check in,要到了没用 从机场到住宿的地方打车60欧,从住宿地方到伊亚小镇来回90欧,反正大部分花销都在打车上。人数少的建议自己租车。Anonymous2019-09-018.3Our stay at Lydia villa ☺ Our stay at Lydia villa was really nice. The villa is located approx. 20min walk from Fira and 10min walk to a supermarket, local restaurant and cafes. The roads can be quite steep in parts so short distances may take longer than expected to walk, however there are buses from the main road (10mins walk) which seemed to come every 30mins or so (although not according to the timetable) The villa itself is located in laneways and not accessible by car - although possible to access via scooter/moped. The villa was open and spacious indoors with plenty of seating and a large airconditioner in the main house. The villa was well equipped with ample crockery and kitchenware, and the bathrooms were clean and well stocked with clean towels and toiletries. The wifi worked perfectly indoors (although didn’t extend to the outdoor areas) There is a large outdoor table setting for eating and a small electric BBQ. The upper terrace has lounge seating on the with views of the ocean and surrounds (including perfect sunrise view) The jacuzzi is a perfect way to relax after the sun goes down. The jacuzzi cleaned and maintained regularly. The villas were cleaned daily. This place would only be suitable for 3 couples as 2 single beds are in a shared room with one double but would be ideal for families wanting shared spaces. There are 2 double beds and 2 single beds in one villa, and a 3rd double bed in a separate villa with own kitchen and bathroom however recommend confirm what is included before booking. Santorini has lots to offer including boat trips and wine tours. Look around for options and prices as these seemed to vary widely between different companies. We had a great time in Santorini and look forward to visiting again soon! ☹ The beds were very hardStephanie2019-07-0310Fantastic family stay ☺ We had the pleasure of spending 3 days here at the end of June. For our family of 5 (2 adults, 3 kids) we couldn't have asked for anything nicer. Vera, our local contact, was so amazing - kind and full of helpful recommendations. She continued to stay in contact via whatsapp for the duration of our stay and was more than happy to answer all our questions! The house itself is beautiful and well cared for. Gorgeous interior and outdoor space. We especially enjoyed the top floor balcony for great views and nightly drinks. I would recommend this place without hesitation. Enjoy! ☹ The parking situation isn't ideal... you have to find "street" parking about a 3 minute walk away and then make your way to the villa. But that's the beauty of staying local, too.Deborah2019-06-1910The facilities were exceptionally furnished ☺ Our host was extremely helpful and assisted us in making last minute reservations for a boat trip around the island ☹ Nothing
