Everything was great! Room was super clean and cleaning lady came in and cleaned everyday. The location is also great, it is close to the most touristic beaches of Santorini. It has a good supermarket in walking distance and also a good, affordable restaurant. We had parking, which was great, because we rented a car and got to go around most of the island. Stelios ( the receptionist ) was always ready to answer our questions and gave the best tips about what beaches to go to, what villages to visit, bars etc. We got to experience some great places thanks to him, he really contributed a lot to our holiday! We stayed for 11 days and had a great time but wished we could have stayed a lot more! As Stelios helped us with everything, We'll also try to help a little bit and write here some of the must-visit places in Santorini for anyone who might read this. In our opinion, you have to visit Emporio and Megalochori villages (this was first advice from Stelios :) ), see the Red Beach at least ( but you can go with the taxi boat and also see the White and Black beach ), the Caldera Beach ( it is a beautiful, a little bit remote beach, with a great view to the Caldera ), of course the most touristic beaches ( Perissa, Perivolos and Kamari ), get to properly walk around Fira and Oia, maybe get to experience the sunset while eating in one of their great restaurants. ( We recommend The Edge near Caldera Beach, Sunset Ammoudi in Oia, in Ammoudi Bay), in Emporio a must go to is "To Kafenedaki Tou", it s a quiet, little, coffe shop between the narrow streets of Emporio. There are lots more to write, but for now this a really short list :)) Finally, We would like to salute all The Staff at Mandilaria Studios and especially Stelios ( The Great ) for making our stay so memorable, and we hope we get to see them again and repeat the experience. Best Regards, Alexandra & Alex ( author )

The accommodation exceeded our expectations! To start, everything was squeaky clean, the room was spacious, the bed comfortable, and we were provided with everything we could have needed. There was a small stove, utensils, and a fridge which they had already filled with some water when we first arrived, as well as a hair dryer. There was also a closet and a safe if needed. The bathroom was spacious enough, as well as the shower, which was a concern of ours at first, looking at the listing, but it turned out the photos didn't do it justice and we were very pleased with it in person. There were small shower gels provided as well. Wifi worked fine, and air conditioning was great, kept the room cool without causing any humidity or smell, while it was not pointed directly at the bed so we wouldn't freeze at night. In addition, there was a small balcony to sit outside and to hang our towels and swimsuits to dry. The pool and the spaces around it were clean and there was a shower so we could rinse off before going back into our room. There was also plenty of space for parking inside the facility. The location was great, it was very close to the largest village on the island, quite close to the beach, and also right next a supermarket. Lastly and most importantly, what made our stay there so special was the staff. Everyone worked hard to attend to anything we may have needed, from keeping spaces clean, to extra towels, to following our schedule and maintaining our room only after we had left for the day, even if that was a bit later than usual, to communicating clearly and quickly through the app before our arrival and taking our concerns into account. Especially, we were made to feel welcome and at home because of Stelios, the receptionist, who also ran a lot of other operations in the hotel. He was extremely friendly and helpful, both concerning our stay, but also for any questions we had or suggestions we needed about the island.

Everything was great.

From start to finish this was a perfect stay being out of the way, quiet, clean, with a pool and an excellent host in Stellios. He was a great guide, very relaxed and accommodating. He organised things for us and really helped to make the vacation. The apartment was split level and was cleaned every day with fresh sheets and towels. The pool area is excellent and perfect at the end of a day or even for the majority of a day. The supermarket is literally like your corner shop and there is a very good value Grill house next to this that does takeaway as well as 'eat in'. We feel that we benefited from the lack of visitors to the island due to the earthquake earlier in the seasons, but Oia and Fira felt 'busy', whereas Emporeio was a delight - quiet, traditional and real.

The rooms are big and spotlessly clean. There is a small balcony where you can look out to the grapes and fig trees in the garden. It's very relaxing and I had my best sleep in this place during my trip so far. There is also a swimming pool just outside so you can chill by the pool or have a swim. The place has good bus connections (just 1 min walk to the stop!) to Fira. Stelios (the host) also gave us clear instructions and was also very caring and accommodating to our needs. This place is awesome.

It's not about the place - we walked 30 min to Perissa Beach on an extremely windy day and thought it might have been better to take the bus instead.

The family who owned the property were very friendly and welcoming.Stelios is an extremely likeable person and his parents keep the rooms absolutely spotless.We would like to thank them for their kindness and hospitality.We really enjoyed our stay and if we return to Santorini in the future we would not consider anywhere else.As a couple of seventy year olds,the only downside to the property was that it was a mile or so to the beach and choice of restaurants,but after a couple of days we hired a car and never looked back.Thank you again to Stelios and his family.

There was nothing to dislike.

I loved it ! The staff was very friendly and helpful. He helped us with our luggage and even give us a map of the island and explained to us all major attractions to do for the duration of our stay. They made our bed each morning and even did our dishes which we did no expect. They changed our towels and cleaned he room everyday. The location was great, we were 2min of walk of a supermarket and restaurants. There was no noises, it was quiet and calm. We loved the pool, it was great. The bed was comfy. The bathroom was clean and spacious. It really exceeded our expectations.

Nothing, it was great!

We were so impressed by this location. It was very clean, confortable and the host helped us with everything we needed (fast response with the check in, a map for discovering the island and the transfer to the airport in the morning). It is not very close to the sea, but the bus station is one minute away, and also a local supermarket with good prices is just around the corner. We appreciated that it was quiet, the room had the right temperature (without turning on the AC) and we had a great time staying there, around the pool. We are thankful. 🥰

Our view at the pool looked exactly like the photo on the listing. A great welcome and care taken of us by Stelios all week. Clean bedding and towels daily. A relaxed atmosphere but close enough to the main street and beachfront of Perissa. Always space on the sun beds. A bar with very well priced beer/Fanta limon and coffees. We loved it and hope to come back next year. Ευχαριστώ

Great location to reach - by car or motorcycle - Perissa and Perìvolos. Supermarket just round the corner, with ATM available. From our little nice balcony, we could see the sea: on the night of our arrival we enjoyed a great full moon shining bright over the water. The staff was a-ma-zing! They welcomed us warmly and helped us with all our needs. Before arrival we even asked them for support to rent a car, and they provided precise information and help, by putting us in contact with a local rental service. They were not onliged to, yet they helped in every way they could and we really appreciated it. The transfer they sent to get us at the airport was on time and clearly visible. The room was well-cleaned every day. It was a wonderful stay, and the fact they have a pool just adds something more and makes it an oasis in area that is still developing. Thanks to Stelios for his help and to Zoi for answering all our questions by email :)
