We first inquired about this property in March 2019 for travel summer 2020. That trip was delayed two years, and we finally made it June 2022. Marcos could not have been more WONDERFUL during the pandemic, with us moving into a 2021 date and then again into a 2022 date; communication was always excellent & I did not worry that someone wasn't paying attention. This was a substantial large family trip, celebrating many life milestones. I had seen the pictures online hundreds of times prior to our arrival, and my husband and I, who treated everyone on this trip, literally shed tears as we all shared a toast on the evening of our arrival. This is a beautiful, simply luxurious villa, with service that exceeds expectations. When we were within about a month of arrival, we seemed to be in the hands of the "villa team," as opposed to Marcos, and we had transfers arranged and groceries ordered, which awaited us upon our arrival. The gentlemen at the check in area will help with all dinner reservations and groceries (can be continuously provided w/ a day's notice); hopefully they will work out the online check in process with everyone's passport numbers, b/c that part was quite clumsy and we eventually did all 7 of us on paper forms. We needed a transfer for a catamaran outing & they arranged that as well. The villa itself is just beautiful (though the villa team should note that they should upload new photos since the renovation, because it looks 100% different than the photos online, at least on this site).The footprint is the same, but It is now an all white and natural interior, with a wood/jute/woven vibe to the furnishings - gorgeous and simple. The private pool and outdoor setting is simply unbeatable; I wonder how our life's travels will ever top this place. The walk to Oia is on a cobblestone path, about 0.25 mile, slightly uphill into town but not a big deal for anyone of even a modest fitness level. The path is partially lit at night; when we walked home each evening, we used the lights on our phones to see our steps once we were beyond the lighted area. Anyone mobility challenged would not be able to do this, and within the villa, all sleeping is either down a set of stairs, or up to the loft. This splendid villa was everything that we hoped it would be and more. We enjoyed our private sunset every evening before heading into town for dinner. I knew it would be hard to leave it for a couple of outings, but we did, to do the requisite exploring of the beauty around us. If you want to feel enveloped in luxury while staring at the sea, in a private (not small!) pool, away from the buzz of Oia, and truly treat yourself and/or your loved ones, book this villa. You will not be disappointed, it is so worth it. We will return to Santorini for sure, and my only regret might be that our travel party will be too small to justify renting this villa again. It was just perfect for 7 of us, and for reference the ages of our party were 17 up to a fit 78. ENJOY and THANK YOU to everyone at Swinging Sunset for making our stay so perfect!!
