Secret Earth Villas - Santorini

We booked Atlantis villa for 4 nights, and it was a perfect size for the 3 of us (myself, my husband and our teenage daughter). The villa is beautiful and very clean, and has a serene feel to it. It's on 3 levels, all connected with a spiral staircase (which would be inadvisable for elderly people or toddlers, but fine for us), and I liked the fact that the downstairs bedroom also had a door where one could access the outdoor area. The upstairs bedroom has a nice view of the sea. Plenty of towels were provided in addition to bathrobes, and a cleaner is available to change bedding/towels etc if required. The outside area is lovely, with its own little pool, outdoor bed, sunbeds, table & chairs. From an aesthetic point of view, I really like the "cave" design of some of the interior including the upstairs shower, and also I loved the colour scheme, with white, pale apricot and the beautiful pale mint of the doors/windows/gate. The kitchen is well equipped with everything we needed (the only small improvement I could suggest would possibly be a big bowl for salads etc). What made it all extra special was Mary, who was always so friendly and willing to help with suggestions of places to visit, and restaurants etc.. On arrival, she greeted us and showed us the house, where we'd been provided with some lovely treats - fruit, cake, chocolates, orange juice, wine, and also cheese and ham, which was incredibly thoughtful. She popped by in the mornings and was also contactable via WhatsApp, and was always extremely helpful and kind. The villa is in a quiet area, away from the crowds, just outside Kamari (it is walkable but we were lazy and drove). When I say quiet - that is, except for the planes, as the villas are very near the airport - so the planes can be loud, but it didn't really bother us - we found it quite fascinating to watch them come and go. The villa gave us a perfect base to explore the island, which is very beautiful, and full of history. The last thing I'd like to mention is the lovely twin sister cats that appeared regularly to visit us - they were so sweet and affectionate (as long as you don't make the mistake of trying to pick them up, which they don't like!) I fell in love with them and was extremely sad to leave them. All in all I would thoroughly recommend Secret Earth villas - it was a perfect base for an absolutely wonderful and memorable holiday, and we hope to be back some time!

We stayed in the Thirisia villa ( sorry if this is spelt wrong) 4 of us for the week and it was such a lovely week away! The villa was beautiful, spotless and very spacious! Air con was throughout which was much needed! the pool was just right for us, could only recommend that they put a grab rail or something to get into the pool for the older/ less flexible guests. cleaners came in every day, we even got breakfast every morning made for us (bread and jams, fresh fruit, cake) only small but such a thoughtful thing to do as we weren’t expecting this at all! The Villa is located just outside the town and in a rural area which was nice and peaceful! Our Host was amazing, (I’m really sorry I can’t remember her name) she came to us if we had any problems straight away, helped us book on a semi private boat trip, helped us with finding nice restaurants etc and even bought us a cocktail every afternoon if we were in! Thank you all again so much, we really enjoyed ourselves and we will defiantly be coming back !

We stayed in the Apronisi villa, and it was the best villa experience we have had! Klea was so attentive with everything we needed, she organised all of our activities for us, including ordering coffee that was delivered to us every morning. Would 100% recommend Secret Earth. It's close to the airport, so you will hear and see planes flying over, however we loved the plane spotting! The pool is pristine, house was tidy, the included breakfast was the perfect way to start the day. Thank you Klea!!!
