Very classic Greek house
Really unique house located in the little village of Finikia. A real experience staying in the home and the village. You need to be in good shape to stay here as it’s a 5-10 minute walk to get anywhere along narrow windy pathways. Beautiful location with 3 restaurants and a small market 5 minutes walk. Bigger town of Oia is 15 mins walk. Bus station is very close. Great little taverna with live music right down the road. Climb the hill across road for amazing sunsets next to the church. Good communication and all amenities we needed-except laundry- for our stay.

Beautiful House In Finikia, Santorini
We spent seven nights at Eleni's (host) property in the village of Finikia. Eleni and her colleague Daniele (Danny) were wonderful to work with from the beginning of the booking process to the end of our stay. Danny was a life saver helping us with our heavy luggage up the narrow steep paths to the house. They both gave us recommendations on tours which were all A+. The Santorini Wine Trails tour with Dorris was a great way to learn about and taste the Santorini wines. The sunset cruise we took with Barbarossa Sailing Oia was wonderful and gives you a whole different perspective of the Caldera. Danny helped us with a four hour tour of the island and Alex our driver took us to many beautiful sites. We are so glad we booked their recommendations. Other days we just enjoyed the beautiful house and the two patios. We can recommend a new restaurant that just opened in Finikia and can be seen from the house and is the shortest distance of any of the restaurants in the Finikia neighborhood. We indulged there for dinner five of our seven nights and it is very good. The name is Lino Terrace Restaurant and our last night we saw a beautiful sunset from the terrace. Eleni's house was a perfect quiet location for our vacation and Danny leaving us water, fruit and other goodies was much appreciated as well as arranging the transfers from and to the airport. We would definitely stay here again if we were to return to Santorini!!

Great location!
Great location. Central in Santorini. Some good restaurants within walking distance and a great winery nearby. There is even a small store in the village. Danielle the property manager lives in the same village and was a great help. Just be aware the village is on the side of a hill and a bit of a workout getting around. Would stay again!

With a lot of personal touches and great communication and recommendations, I couldn't praise this rental any higher. The location is in a small quiet village with no car traffic, making for a very peaceful stay with a great patio for sunset views. The hosts were incredibly gracious and helpful, suggesting great places to eat in Finikia and activities to do in Santorini. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE
The room itself was as charming as could be and was filled with all of the amenities we could ask for including air conditioning (which was a delight because the city can get quite hot during the days). Our hosts were incredibly kind and helpful. Not only did they carry our bags through the village of Finika for us, they also provided us with a list of recommendations! Thanks to them we enjoyed the best that Santorini had to offer! I cannot recommend this place enough!

From first contact with Elena, and Daniele, this was going to be good!! And it sure was! Such a lovely and authentic place to stay, it was the perfect place for us. Close walk to everything, but still very “private” and away from the tourist crowds. We highly recommend this place if you want an authentic stay on Santorini!

Very good communication. Elani (thru messages) and Daniele (in person) were very good communicating and answering our questions). Helpful with transfers, restaurant recommendations and local info. Our only disappointment is that the house only has 5 ships instead of seven ships as its name reads (smiley face).

Loved this place and the hosts were awesome! We were welcomed and the hosts arranged transport to the place (otherwise it would have been a challenge to find!) They carried our luggage to our door and gave good recommendations and welcoming gifts of fruit. The place had everything we needed to be comfortable and was very charming. I found the beds comfortable. It was in a nice location away from the noise of the main tourist area, but also close enough to walk everywhere. There was a grocery store nearby and restaurants. I would stay here again!

What a neat place to stay. Such a unique experience for my wife and I. We walked down to a winery for dinner one evening, ate at the restaurants in Finikia and made the easy walk over to Oia daily. Host was great and just around the corner in case we needed anything. I wish we had more time to spend here.

Serenity in the village
Thank you Eleni for sharing your fantastic enchanting gem of a house with us and thank you Melina for ushering us in and enlightening us about the charms of Finikia and the island itself. You made us feel at home in this authentic house and village where we felt immersed in the true Greek experience. Letting ourselves stay a few days allowed us to learn so much beyond what we thought Santorini was. From the way the grape vines are traditionally grown to the uniqueness of the cave houses to the secluded beaches and the local village restaurants of the beaten path… All this makes for an experience we’ll never forget. Thank you!

An incredible stay
We cannot say enough good things about staying here. The house itself is so cool, it’s in Finikia which is a neighborhood right by Oia, took us about 10 min to walk to the beginning of Oia (you can spend probably 20-25 min walking after you get to the start of Oia). It is definitely for travelers and not for tourists. The house is so authentic, you feel like you are part of Greece instead of just observing it. It’s tucked away in the neighborhood through beautiful winding streets- there are no cars and it was so relaxing and quiet! Amenities were exactly what we needed. Sitting out on the terrace were some of our favorite moments because it felt so unique to be staying there. Irini was BEYOND helpful during our stay. She arranged transport to and from the airport, she met us when we got there, showed us the neighborhood, walked us through the house and gave us a quick run down of the map of Finikia, Oia and other popular towns in Santorini. She gave us the best restaurant recommendations, all of which we loved! She arranged our sailing tour and we even got a small discount when renting an ATV because we mentioned her. She absolutely went above and beyond to make us comfortable and we are so grateful! Again, this place was incredible and I really don’t have anything negative to say, would 100% recommend staying here or any of these properties owned by Eleni. If you do stay, we recommend lefkez in Finikia, so yummy and fun to have restaurants so close. Mes Amis is where we got coffee every morning, we loved Skiza the pizza place, mellitini for tapas, Skala for yummy Greek food at a really good price/portion ratio.

Enchanting and Authentic! This is what you dream Santorini will be.
The peaceful neighborhood of Finikia is, quite literally, my Greek Island dream's come true! The winding pathway to the house leads you through white Cycladic homes featuring brightly painted blue doors, sprays of brilliant bougainvillea, and glimpses of the Mediterranean-it took our breath away! The house itself is incredibly charming and has the right balance of modern amenities and authentic appeal. There is no air conditioning, but you don't need it! The breeze through the windows keep the house at the perfect temperature. The house has a fun history and is furnished with antiques that add to the appeal. The large deck is perfect for drinking wine and watching the sunset fade-you cannot see the sunset itself from your deck, but can walk 20 feet to the church of two bells and have an amazing view from there. Around the corner from the house are wonderful restaurants. Our favorites were Taverna Krinaki and Lefkes, so we stayed close to home after a busy day of sightseeing. A 3-5 min walk up the hill in Finikia is Sophia Boutique Hotel which has the most incredible cocktails in Santorini. You can even take a dip in their pool! The house is an easy 7-10 min walk to the shops/restaurants on the Caldera so you have the best of all possible worlds- the peace and quiet of Finikia and the energy and glamor of Oia. The house was ideal for my husband, teenage daughter, and myself but would not recommend this area if you have a stroller or mobility issues. Apart from the house itself, the best part of our stay was getting to know the property manager, Irini Zanna. She was full of incredible suggestions about excursions, restaurants (we have never had more delicious food!), beaches, and places to go in Santorini. She not only helped us arrange our transport to and from the ferry but helped us secure a great price on a rental car and answered our questions on Whatsapp within minutes! Irini, singlehandedly, turned our stay into the best vacation we have ever taken. I cannot recommend this property highly enough!!!

Wonderful stay!
Irini was there to accommodate us at our stay and she was WONDERFUL. She gave us maps with dinner and beach recommendations on them, she called ahead for our sailing tour, and she was always available to answer any questions we had. The house was located in a perfect spot - just right outside of Oia to where it was quiet and peaceful but still within 10 minute walking distance to Oia (the town most heavily pictured of Santorini). Highly recommend!
