Absolute oasis with unbeatable views, nestled in the perfect place on the Caldera
There are really no words to describe our stay at Villa Ftelari/Villa Cascada. It was continually surreal to walk onto the terrace of this stunning private home and take in the miraculous view of the Caldera. This is an oasis unlike any other property on Santorini. The home is unique, beautiful, spacious and cozy, the amenities and care exceptional, and the property sits at the perfect vantage point on the island to have an unmatched view with complete privacy. I cannot recommend this property highly enough.Petros is the caretaker and he truly ‘takes care’ in everything he does, from preparing delicious breakfasts to making our 3 ½ year old feel completely at home. I planned this family trip to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and when I say Petros helped make that day and our entire stay better than we could have ever expected - I mean it. He was available to give advice on what to do each day based on weather and to avoid crowds, he made fantastic outing and restaurant reservations, all with zero stress. He is an incredibly special person who brings the soul of Santorini to this home and those who stay there.Coming home after exploring the island was relaxing for both body and spirit, with the terrace pool, hot tub, and extended outdoor space. At night, watching the lights of Fira shimmer on the caldera rim was magical.In our all too short stay we were cared for, refreshed, amazed, and ever grateful for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
