What a find this is! As you'll know if you've researched Oia accommodations for more than a nano-second, it's all about the view. That famous panorama - the ultimate in Greek island views - tumbling over sheer volcanic cliffs into the deep blue, sea-filled caldera with its lava islands, ringed by a sprinkling of white sugar-cube houses around Santorini's rim. And you get it in full frontal glory here, whether sitting on your private terrace, or gazing out of your living room window, or ensconced in your tiny whirlpool-within-a-cave.
But the real reason it's such a find is that you get, by Oia standards, masses of space for your euro - ample for two, comfortable for three - including two sitting rooms (one in a vast and ancient stone bread oven), a serene vaulted bedroom, and a double height living space with dining table and a cute little kitchenette. Best of all, it's done with real taste: think creamy white walls and flagged floors, sculpted cubby holes and arched niches with a few carefully chosen items - an elegant vase, a few books, dried flowers - to set the cosy, contemplative mood. No surprise, perhaps, that the owner is an interior designer - Greek by birth, studied in Florence - who will give you all her favourite Santorini tips, from black-pebble beaches to wine tastings and chilled cafés.
