Absolutely stunning property. Service was top notch, as you'd expect, but it was the little things that made our experience really nice... When ordering cocktails to the room when swimming, they were there in less than 10 minutes which I found amazing, multiple times. The breakfast and the view while eating breakfast was perfect and the location could not be better. Right at the beginning of the "marble road", but offset just enough to be perfectly private. Also nice is each room is patio is very private with subtle but perfectly selected landscaping, walls, and shade are you truly feel like you have your own space. This is our third trip to Santorini, and our best.
