Stayed here with a family of 4 (parents and two teens) in January 2022. We obviously came during off-season, so it was cooler and more overcast, with fewer restaurant and tourist options open. But the quality and beauty of our experience staying in this villa made it a fantastic experience anyway. The interiors are beautiful--we loved the aquamarine floor tiles, the attractive blue walls in the cave-carved bedrooms and bathrooms, and the thoughtful touches (fresh flowers, grocery delivery for breakfast, nice cooking & dish supplies in the kitchen--they even had a Christmas tree in the room, which helped bring a warm finish to our vacation over our children's Christmas break). The jacuzzi in the main bedroom was a delight--hidden behind a stained-glass-designed wall, it was cozy and beautiful--a grotto essentially. Our favorite "room" was the 2nd floor patio you reach from stairs just outside the front door. The outdoor hot tub wasn't functioning in the winter (the indoor main bedroom hot tub was of course) -- but we sat up there for breakfast, lounged on the couch and chair (bundled in the many blankets they thoughtfully provided), and generally enjoyed the generous views over Fira and the caldera/volcano island. Just stunning. We could see the donkeys climbing up and down the road to the quiet cruise port below, and enjoyed the distant cable cars winging their way upward. All told, a fantastic place to stay. Our critiques are minor--the wifi was spotty and often very slow; we had to frequently reset the router to keep things moving. You have to be careful about the several steps scattered around the villa--which you wouldn't expect in a house of this size, but is merely a feature (not necessarily a bug) of a home built into a cave. The threshold into the main bedroom is also surprisingly low--it took me 3 times of striking my head before getting in the habit of ducking every time I crossed it.
