“Living in a cloud” How can I express the wonderful feeling I had when I arrived to the home. We were received by Maria who has a heart of gold. She delivered and gave beyond what she had. We sat perched on the edge of a cliff overlooking the island and Fira dripping from the edge in white. As Maria went through all the best the island had to offer. The home was clean and beautifully decorated. It was a home that made you feel not only on vacation but also embodied the culture and style of Greece. You felt loved and at peace. You can be in that home to relax but in my case, I was surprising my parents with renewal of their vows so I was in close contact with Maria. I honestly did not expect the help she offered, and it was a lot. Making several calls and running around helping us with the details of a wedding. The catering, the flowers, the space. It was a full job for her. She seemed to do it all. Every morning our space was clean and we had fresh towels. If there was a request she was a phone call away. We had hotel amenities. Which is rare for a home rental to have. Over all - A spectacular home, amazing Service, Memorable time. We would go back again and can't wait to see Maria, this time to spend time with-- We highly recommend you go visit the black beach. If you have a concern ask Maria she is a wealth of knowledge. Do rent a car its easy to park and cheap to rent if you plan to check out the j

“A Corner of Heaven” Just checked out and felt like we were leaving home. House was some steps below the heart of the village and close to the Castle where people gather for sunset. Even so, it was private, quiet, clean, and oh so cool on days we came in from exploring the village. Maria's orientation with us was very helpful--she used a map to show us Santorini beaches and restaurants. Her name in those restaurants worked magic: complimentary wine and desserts, and excellent food, too. Different breakfasts were delivered to us each morning--heavenly to sit on the patio with nothing between us and the aegean. One bedroom was upstairs (could be warm) and one in basement, but three would sleep on main floor. Hands down, we three would go back in a minute!

“perfect.” location was perfect, view was breathtaking, decor was colorful and interesting. comfortable bed. quiet area of oia. this place is even more beautiful than the photos. i can't imagine a better experience

“Perfect!” Myself and 2 friends just spent four nights in Spiti Martin and it was a great choice! We were looking for an authentic cave house experience without too much hassle, and the the owner is responsive and helpful. I didn't know much about the island's villages, but Firostefani was a great choice - tons of good restaurants around and easy to get anywhere else but slightly removed from the overcrowding of Fira when cruise ships are docked. The house itself was wonderful - a lovely and roomy terrace with a ridiculous view. I would certainly recommend and hope to return. Thanks Marty!

“Amazing Greek Island experience” We rented both the Santorini Paradise and Helios houses for eleven people. They were absolutely wonderful. The views are spectacular. The houses were clean to start with and cleaned every day. Helios had just recently been updated and looked great. We were welcomed with fresh fruit, eggs, water, wine and snacks. Maria was so helpful and attentive and spent time with each group giving suggestions on things to do and places to go. The sunset view from the rooftop patio of the Helios house is out of this world. Maria brought us drinks and appetizers the first night to watch it. There we hundreds of people around us watching and we had the best seats. Maria asked for constructive feedback from us, which we had very little to give. I appreciate an owner always trying to improve the experience of her guests. It says a lot about Maria's commitment to her guests. We highly recommend Maria and any of her places.

“Excellent service, nice location” The service was excellent and the staff extremely friendly. It’s a great relief to be so warmly welcomed and appreciated away from home, and they certainly make you feel both.

“Best Villa in Milos” I stayed at this beautiful villa last year and it was one of the best places to spend your holiday! I've stayed in a few other hotels/ villa's on the island of Milos but I can safely say that I enjoyed Casa aiora the most! From the wonderful interior design, to the fantastic courtyard this place is perfect. It was great to wake up to delicious homemade snacks in the morning as well. There is a nice kitchen so if you choose to cook you have everything at your disposal to do so. The beds are very comfortable and the air condition is always a bonus on the warm Milos nights! There is parking nearby as well so you don't have leave your car down the bottom of the hill. The location is ideal as it is close enough to walk to most of adamas' bars, restaurants and cafe's but it is very secluded and sheltered from any of the party noises. The villa is wonderfully maintained, we didn't encounter any problems on our stay and it is cleaned very well daily! The owner Katy is very helpful and knows everything about the island and knows all the best beaches, restaurants and will also advise where to get your rental cars. Overall I couldn't have asked for anything more from my island holiday and will definitely be going back there next time I travel to Milos!

“A wonderful, comfortable and quiet place” We stayed in the house in august 2013. The house is just perfect: large, comfortable, extremely quiet, and perfectly equipped. I cannot mention a single flaw. The house is at walking distance (200m) from the most beautiful beach of Naxos: white sand and crystal-clear water. Then, you have the choice: walk right and you have a whole range of restaurants, bars, private beaches. Walk left and the beach is wild. The terrace on the second floor has a nice view on the sea and on the sunset. Naxos is a beautiful island that offers many sites to visit (small villages, ruins) and different landscapes. Be sure to rent a car; it's cheap. Be also sure to make a boat trip round the Island . I definitely recommend that house, especially for a family that's looking for independence and tranquility. As said by other reviewers, Athena, the owner, is very kind and helpful.
