Family Village Santorini

Wonderful
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : Set up in a quiet little corner of Vlychada, with only about 20 villas/rooms, this was the perfect spot for a relaxing stay. With all rooms being self-catering and close to the pool, your food and drinks were only steps away the times you just wanted to have a lazy day by the pool. Plenty of loungers, with pool towels provided, gorgeous surroundings with olive and pomegranate trees and shaded areas should you want them.The rooms - we had 2 next to each other - were perfectly laid out and each with its own unique style. Big bedroom with nice large bed, fold down couch (if needed), beautifully finished bathrooms and fully kitted kitchens with 2 ring induction hobs, microwave, toaster, kettle and full crockery, glassware, etc. A/C units kept things nice and cool when you wanted some respite from the heat. Towels and bedding changed as little or often as you requested.Alex, the host, and his team (Julia & Aleks) were exceptional in every aspect! From taking us to the supermarket on our first day, as wed not yet organised a car, to telling us all the best places to go and what to see and do. Nothing was too much trouble. Anything you wanted - car hire, trips out, restaurant recommendations - you only had to ask and Alex would make it happen. Alex reached out before our stay offering to arrange transfers from the airport and took the time to personally speak to all of his guests. Anytime he wasnt on site, he was always available via WhatsApp.The accommodation is a little out of the way - which is what we liked - but there was a beach, the harbour and a handful of restaurants (with spectacular views) within easy walking distance. We were there nearly 2wks and only had a car for a total of 5 non-consecutive days (which Alex organised for us, car was dropped off and collected again when ready to return), mostly for supermarket trips and to go further afield to sightsee. The island is less than 1hr drive end to end so nothing is too far away.
  : There was nothing about the property I didnt like, but for my liking a supermarket closer would have made it 10/10 for me. There is a mini-market close by but it had limited choices and high prices.
