A Unique experience: Santorini, the most mythical and striking of all the Greek islands, is one of the top 10 destinations in the world. It's not surprising that so many travellers are drawn to its dramatic beauty... many even choose to exchange lifetime vows in this most dramatic and romantic of settings

Unlike most rental properties in Santorini, this magnificent 250m2 villa is located in the most unspoilt village on the island- ‘Mesa Gonia.' 'Episkopis Gonia,' as it is also called, dates to the 17th century and is the site of the oldest Byzantine Church on the island, built in the 12th century. The EU has designated the village a ‘traditional settlement’ to preserve its distinct character. While within easy reach of Fira (the capital) and only 5 minutes by car from Camari, (with its beautiful black sandy beach), its serene setting provides both the privacy and tranquility while giving a taste of traditional Greek island village life as it was 50 years ago.

Here you can see the famous 'cave houses' as they were just after the earthquake of 1956 or easily explore the wine roads of the surrounding hills. Local wineries provide delightful wine tasting. and the village now even boasts Santorini's own new micro-brewery, with its Yellow Donkey beer- a 'must try'. See how they brew up their original Red Donkey or Crazy Donkey beer - then take some home with you..There is also a charming open air cinema within walking distance , with live music performances in the peak months.

Charming villa, incredible host
Lianne's property is a stunning villa and guest house in the quieter, less touristy section of the island. The charm and beauty of the island, town, and property exceeded our expectations. The bus stop is a short walk away, which easily connected us without the use of a rental car to the main towns of Fira and Oia, as well as the beaches of Kamari, Perivolos, and Perissa. The nearby restaurants (both hidden gems and the more famous) were outstanding. For those who are looking for a more laid-back island experience outside of Fira and Oia, this is the place to stay. Lianne is one of the best hosts I have experienced on homeshare apps. She welcomed us with warmth and went above and beyond in assisting us with transportation, food and activity recommendations, and anything else we needed. Lianne is the sole reason our last-minute trip to Santorini for nearly a week with zero reservations or research was such a success. Quite a memorable week in an unforgettable place. Thank you Lianne!!!

Emplacement idéal pour visiter toute l’ile
La maison est vraiment type de Santorin , dépaysement garantie. L’endroit est calme. C’est ce que je recherchais. La maison est bien équipée mais il manque une TV et un lit plus grand serait plus appréciable. L’accueil de la propriétaire est chaleureux et plein d’attention. Elle donne beaucoup de conseil et d’incontournables de Santorin. On a passé un super séjour. Merci à vous.
