Overall: It's a beautiful, well-equipped and maintained villa with stunning views. Enjoyed Most: The view, the interior and the really friendly and helpful owner. Enjoyed Least: The noisy and busy road made reading and relaxing by the pool difficult; there is a popular view point opposite the villa. Surrounding Area: Probably wouldn't stay in Akrotiri again as it was a bit too quiet but obviousy good caldera views. Nearby Events or Locales: Akrotiri - yes could walk to a mini market and to a few restaurants. Tips or Restaurants: It's important to note that there is a small car included with the villa. If renters only need a little run-around then it's fine although for five of us it would have been too small. (Editor's Note: As of April 2015, the car rental is no longer included in the rate.) Also the basement accommodation is not as good as the rest of the house so really think it's best for no more than 6 people - it also only had four loungers so we had to buy a couple of cheap extra ones. Directions: We were met at the airport and we then followed them to the villa in our rental car so no problem. Check In Out: Check in and out both really easy. The owner leaves a mobile with her number in it so you can contact her at any time.
