No need to look further- the villa is fantastic and so is Judith. The views, especially sunrise and sunset, are spectacular. Judith arranged a private sailing trip for us with Angel Sailing. Captain George was the highlight of our trip. We had a wonderful time in Santorini!

Amazing property, Judith’s home was perfect in every way, great location, very clean and very spacious. Sunsets were absolutely stunning, could not ask for a better location. The communication with Judith and the private transfer company were amazing, everyone was always communicating with each other and us throughout our trip. I highly recommend staying at Judith’s place.

This property was fabulous. Exactly as advertised. We traveled with my son, daughter-in-law, a two teenaged granchilden, celebrating our 59th wedding anniversary. The location was perfect with fine restaurants within walking distance, along with many shops for browsing and buying. Our view was spectacular, with perfect sunsets., the pool delightful! Housekeeping arrived every morning as well as the pool cleaner. We had a private driver, Dennis, pick us up at port, take us to sites, wine tastings and was at our service with suggestions on dining adventures. He brought us to the airport on our morning of departure. Our host, Judith, who we unfortunately did not meet, was easy to communicate with. She had snacks, water and a bottle of wine waiting for us upon arrival.Thank you Judith for making our celebration perfect!

Incredible Oia Stay

This villa is perfect for a stay in Oia. The views are unparalleled and it is in the perfect location. The host was instrumental in helping to arrange transport and activities for us as well as providing excellent recommendations, and helping with any questions or concerns. Highly recommend for a terrific Santorini experience.

Stunning villa!

This is the ultimate villa stay in Santorini, a beautiful cave house with the best caldera and sunset view you could wish for. It's also quiet which can be hard to find in the heart of Oia, yet a 2 minute walk to the very heart of things. The host, Judith, is fantastic - nothing was too much trouble, she was so helpful but completely unobtrusive. We will definitely be back, we loved it!

Great stay at By the Mill!

Our stay at the villa was spectacular! Great space, and the view of the Caldera was beautiful! The host, Judith, was the most gracious and accommodating host that I have ever worked with! I had a lot of questions before our stay, and she always answered quickly and even reached out to our sunset sail company to see if they offered towels. I would highly recommend staying at this villa for so many reasons!

Amazing

I know a lot of other reviews probably say amazing, but there right. As usual pictures don't do it justice, it's stunning. A great combination of being very close to all the activities in Oia but not right where all the tourist crowds are. Would definitely book this again.

Absolutely amazing!!

This property was even better than pictured. Amazing view perfect accommodation and walking distance to everything you could need. The restaurant recommendations from Judith were perfect and the pictures of the property does not do the property justice. It was private but also close to everything. It was our little oasis. We will be coming back 1000%.

Incredible Oia property

The house was amazing - even better than the already great depiction on VRBO. The location was perfect - great views, centrally located on the west end of Oia, and arranged in a way that provided privacy from the packed paths of other tourists exploring the island and trying to get a glimpse of the sunset. In addition, Judy was an extraordinarily helpful host. She made check-in and check-out easy, and was very responsive whenever we had questions before and during our stay. I would highly recommend this property.

Best House I have ever stayed at with VRBO

My husband and I travel the world. This house was the best house we have ever stayed in. Quite magical, you walk through you or gate and you are in your own private Santorini !! Facing the famous sun set with sitting in the pool Drinking wine. Doesn’t get much better than this. Our 2 girls loved the upstairs bedroom. Lots of space for family of 4 or more.

Fantastic Property, Location and Hosts

This is a truly spectacular property, optimally located in Oia on the caldera, with easy access to restaurants, shops and bars. The hosts Judith and Theo are gracious and responsive and could not have been more helpful - including in advance with restaurant suggestions and activity selections all of which were fantastic. The property is large, both inside and outside, and comfortably sleeps six adults. There are multiple levels of outside decks for enjoying the sun and view into the caldera, as well as a large plunge pool. The photographs perfectly represent the location and amenities. Hard to imagine a better place to stay, in any way, when visiting Santorini.

Simply the best

It's impossible to describe the ten days we spent here and do it justice! Our private, beautiful, comfortable villa had its own perfect sunset view (without any need to go further than the private plunge pool or the deck) and we had everything we needed or requested from the owner and her amazing "family" of support during our entire stay. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't spend your whole Greece vacation on Santorini. Just tell them you're staying By the Mill!

A Private Paradise!

A private paradise, tucked away from the hustle bustle of Oia. Our every need was provided for. Sweet and helpful Alma cleaned to perfection daily and Panos, the groundskeeper kept the pool at the perfect temperature and crystal clear. The refrigerator stopped working and was replaced with a new one within hours of reporting. Thank you Judith for a dream come true… can’t recommend “by the mill” enough!

AMAZING

We loved our stay at By the Mill! When the gate was opened to the view it made me gasp….pictures can’t describe how gorgeous it is! Judith was very helpful advising us on activities, reservations, transportation, etc. The location in Oia can’t be beat…steps away from shops and restaurants, but much more private than other villas that we passed by. I loved drinking coffee each morning in the outdoor dining room off the kitchen, and we enjoyed cocktails each night on the upper terrace with an unbeatable view of the sunset. We were truly sad to leave this morning, but we will look forward to returning.
