Santorini

[mary-j]

I have just seen an auction for the Blue Angel Villa in Santorini and it does really look spectacular. The auction is for 6 guests so if there were three couples staying there and splitting the cost, it is going to work out at an excellent price. As Greece is a short flying time from the UK, I was thinking of bidding for it and taking another couple and also my son and his girlfriend with us. Has anyone stayed here and I wondered about the area it was in. What is there to do in that area of Santorini and how far it is from the airport? It would be really helpful to hear from someone familiar with the area and from anyone who has stayed in the villa. Can anyone tell me about flights to Santorini from the UK? I did go on to the website but was not really that impressed with it as it doesn't really give you very good pictues of all the different bedrooms etc.of the villa and that is usually one part of the accommodation I always like to check out before booking somewhere to stay. I wondered also wondered whether or notthe villa had a pool. Also what about areas for sunbathing?? Is there plenty room for all 6 people to sunbathe and do they have sunloungers? i look forward to hearing your comments on this property, especially from someone who has first hand experience of it. Thanks.

I was just coming to this board to ask the same question. I saw Blue Angel Villa on LL and it looks like heaven! I've been to Santorini, but we were on a cruise, so we didn't stay on the island. The villa looks like a fabulous deal even if you can only get one other couple to go. I think the description I read said it's a five minute walk from Fira. But I'd love to hear from someone who's actually stayed there before I "take a flyer" on this. I tried TripAdvisor, but no luck there.

So if anyone here has gone or is going...please, report!
