The Nook by Caldera Houses

Pros: Nice big, heated pool. Nice big patio with a great view of the caldera. From the pool you also see the other side of the island and sea. Good strong A/C. Right next to the Thira-Oia hiking path. Parking spot. The host and cleaning staff were nice and helpful. Cons: Barely enough room for 3 people. The bed will only fit two persons. The third person would have to sleep on the couch which is a cushion laid on top of cement. Bathroom was way too small. Shower was super small with no curtain or door or wall – when you’re done showering, there will be water all over the floor. Likewise, the sink and sink area were small – not much room to put things. Other: There is “breakfast” but I would call it a “snack” – if you’re expecting a traditional breakfast, you will be disappointed. It’s a 10-minute walk to Imerovigli proper through the hiking path. An additional 5 minutes to get to the center of town. This section of the path is mostly rocks so wear good shoes if you have issues with stability. Although the view from the deck/patio are very nice, I would not come back. However, I do not regret staying here. If you decide to rent a car, parking is very limited (almost non-existent) in Imerovigli proper. There’s a pay-for-parking parking lot in Imerovigli but that was a rip off – 10 euros regardless of time (for 24 hours). If you want the convenience of having coffee shops, restaurants, markets, etc. right outside your door then this is not the place for you. Oh yea, lots of cats! If you love cats, then you'll be fine (but your food won't) - they love grilled chicken and scrambled eggs.
