Perfect Location & Views
Oia’s Dream is all about its location and the spectacular Caldera views. The villa is about a 10 minute walk from Oia which is a perfect distance from the crowds and congestion of Oia. There is a small market up the road and a wonderful taverna across the street. You can hear the live taverna music each night from the villa. The property owner Georgina provided us with a wealth of information and suggestions in the months leading up to our trip. We booked a day time catamaran trip which was worth every euro. If you are up for it, I highly recommend hiking from Fira to Oia (6 miles). It took our group of 50+ year olds about 3.5 hours. We took an Uber to Fira and hiked our way back. The trail actually passes behind the villa. The property itself is definitely dated and could use some attention. It is hard to call out the negatives because of the positives I listed above, but there were some. These irritations included a toilet not flushing, internet connectivity issues, ants in the kitchen and bedrooms, and a pool which should have been cleaned prior to our arrival, not on our second to last day. With all of this being said, I would still recommend this property.
