Tholaki luxury home

We met our host, Glykeria, at the house after being dropped off by the driver she arranged for us from the Santorini ferry port. Glykeria was really great, showed us the house and gave us some information about the local neighbourhood and the history of the area, Kamari. The house was perfect for the two couples in our group. Both bedrooms were comfortable, air conditioned with bathrooms for each, well equipped small kitchen and washing machine with tablets (although we had brought our own) was excellent. Location was brilliant, quiet and very close to a supermarket with cold beer (plus other essentials). A short walt to the beach with the thousands of beach lounges lined up. At the time we went in mid-September it was still warm but much less crowded that other places in Santorini - Fira was crazy. Glykeria offered us a trip on her husband, Manolis's boat to swimming spots and including lunch which we took up. Was great just the four of us and Manolis and his son. Glykeria and Manolis were so kind and really looked after us well, the house and location is amazing, a perfect place to get away from the crowds and relax in the pool if you don't want to go to the beach.

The location was perfect, 1 minute to the super market, 5 minutes to the beach and the beautiful promenade with the restaurants and gift shops. 2 minutes to the bus stop. It was spotlessly clean. The owner was very helpful and checked in on us to see if we needed anything. We had house keeping every 3 days 🤩. Couldn’t have asked for a better location, or home. We loved every moment.

Nothing. We loved it all.

wszystko było bardziej niż idealnie - wymarzony wyjazd, a Najbardziej podobał nam się po prostu cały obiekt, lokalizacja, kontakt z właścicielami oraz możliwość popłynięcia na wycieczkę łódką z obiadem serwowanym przez kapitana statku :) odnośnie samego obiektu to jest bardzo przestronny, nowoczesny. posiada 2 łazienki, 2 sypialnie i w pełni wyposażona kuchnie. co więcej ogromny taras z tyłu oraz z przodu. dosłownie 100 metrów jest spory sklep spożywczy a plaża ok 300 metrów. w ogóle samo miasteczko jest najlepsze na Santorini by się zatrzymać, mieć gdzie wyjść wieczorem a też jest blisko do Oia i Firy :) wrócilibyśmy ponownie

The host was very nice and the place was lovely, a good location and very clean. We were left food and drinks which was very kind. A big plus was that a highchair was provided for us upon request meaning we didn't have to bring a travel one.

We were very disappointed to find that in order to use the hot tub, we had to send a message to the host each day (as it was activated from a secondary location), which is not advertised, as the website implies the full use, not use under request. We were very annoyed to wake up on our final full day to find a message to say the host had to leave early so we could not use the hot tub as it would not be turned on. We found this unacceptable, we were there for 4 nights and only had 3 full days, and when arriving we stated we would want to use the hot tub each day. A big part of why we chose this location was the private hot tub and pool, and to find out that one was not usable for a whole day of our stay was ridiculous, especially as we paid €1000 for this stay, which is a lot of money to have to daily request one major advertised amenity especially as we weren't able to use it one whole day. The hot tub should be available for the guests who have paid, and should not be dependent on someone turning it on from another location, as paying guests should not be impacted by external issues like the host having to leave their own home unexpectedly not matter for what reason. Another issue I felt (which I acknowledge is personal preference and others may not mind) is that I had to stay in what felt like constant contact with the host. To have to WhatsApp daily to request for the hot tub to be turned on is too much. I don't have to call a hotel reception every morning asking them to turn on a hot tub. I came on holiday to get away, not having my phone go off like Teams at work. This was made worst from the fact that the host tried to call me twice, as it was clear we weren't happy about the hot tub not being turned on, and then a message saying they hoped it didn't impact our stay etc which felt kind of gaslighting. Again, this is personal preference but I do not want my phone going off with multiple messages and calls while on holiday.
