Great stay, fantastic staff
The staff was super accommodating and was responsive to anything we needed. The villas are an uphill walk to Oia, which can be a little tricky walking back at night. The pool and hot tub were fantastic. The floors creak a bit, so may be tough for light sleepers.

Amazing place with a beautiful view.
Katerina made our stay at Villa Emerald very special. She helped with dining suggestions, transportation needs, arranging a chef for us and helping with groceries. The villa worked well for 3 couples and we had a great time!
