The house was gorgeous and Mark & Christine couldn’t have been more helpful, with sorting taxi’s and car hire. We loved the village and wandering down into the town everyday. I already miss my breakfasts at Raki and sat on the terrace at night drinking Santorini wine and listening to the live music at the local bar. The kids also loved it! ##### Caroline M. Stayed 9 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Helen A. 18 Sept 2018 #### Fabulous authentic cave house with plunge pool and roof terrace Alba Lily is every bit as good as the photos, and full of thoughtful touches. We especially loved watching the sunset from the roof terrace, and cooling off in the plunge pool. Mark and Christine are outstanding hosts, and we are very grateful to them for looking after us so well. Megalochori is a great location especially if you plan to use the local buses, with direct routes to Fira, Akrotiri, Perivolos and Perissa. There is also a great walk right on the doorstep to Pyrgos and on to Emborio. Megalochori also has several good restaurants, and we found we could get most everything we wanted from the local shops, and the bakery is amazing. We loved every minute. ##### Helen A.

Mark kept the outdoor area immaculate throughout our stay, but very respectful of our privacy. Megalochori is a beautiful and tranquil village, with a number of very good restaurants and shops, we all really enjoyed spending time here. It is also close to Thira, Oia, Pyrgos and with Santorini being a small island, makes it easy to explore.We hired a car and is recommended if you want to explore the island but you could do without one if you just want to chill out in the village during your stay.The McKibbin Family ##### Colin M.

Alba Lily was the perfect place for our family of 4 to unwind after a group tour of mainland Greece and the Peloponnese. It was even better than the pictures portrayed! So unique, so inviting, so comfortable. And what a great location - an easy walk to so many delightful restaurants, shops, and great photo taking spots. Mark was an attentive and very personable host. We were so grateful for the many gracious touches that made our stay in this spot just perfect. ##### beth h.

It is a great place from which to explore the island and as other guests have written, there are lovely restaurants right in the town so we did plenty of strolling out in the warm evenings. Mark was so accessible, friendly and helpful and kindly set up airport transfers and a rental car for us. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and offered shade, sun, privacy and views over the rooftops between the two outdoor spaces. The house stays relatively cool inside and we slept really comfortably. We were not sure whether to rent a car and didn't do so in advance, but with hindsight, would recommend to have one for getting to the supermarkets, which are a bit out of town and of course, exploring the island. We used the local buses during our first few days and they were excellent, if a little crowded at times. Santorini is a beautiful and unique place with much to see and do and we felt that we chose exactly the right spot to stay. Thank you Mark and Christine! ##### Julie P.

My wife and two daughters and I stayed here for five days and it was amazing. The perfect place in a small village really gives you the sense of culture for this island. Very happy we did not stay in Oia because of all the tourist and crowds. Five restaurants within walking distance and less than five minutes away. Watch the sunset less than 15 minute walk away and see it over the ocean. Mark did such an amazing job restoring this apartment. So unique and the pool was perfect. Up top, layout in privacy and absorb the sun. At night around eight or 9 o’clock, you can hear distant music from a café playing live authentic Greek music. Mark was so helpful in suggesting places to eat, beaches to visit and sites to see. He also helped me arrange for a rental car and transportation to and from the airport. Such a great host. Highly recommend! ##### J A.

Habe mich hier sehr wohl gefühlt. Das traditionelle Haus ist ein Erlebnis, die Lage, ist, wer nicht unbedingt direkt am Meer wohnen muss oder will, richtig gut. Restaurants im Stadtkern und eine Bäckerei mit den nötigsten Lebensmitteln sind innerhalb von 5 Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen.

Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anthony B. 5 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stunning We absolutely LOVED our stay in Megalochori. “Alba-Lily” was a truly stunning property, perfectly positioned in a beautifully idyllic village on the island of Santorini. The booking process was simple, the communication from the hosts exemplary, & everything including transfers, recommendations & hospitality from Mark & Christine could not have been better. We hired a car from the village and I would definitely recommend this as there is so much to see & do on the island, all of which was never more than a 20 minute drive in any direction. The village itself however had everything you would want & need; 6 restaurants serving wonderful food & drink (Raki & Alisachni in particular), a winery, several shops selling local crafts, a couple of local mini-markets, plus a fantastic bakery. Our favourite however was the local cafe (Kafenio) on the cobbled street leading down to the famous 6 Bell tower; open 9 to midnight every day serving tapas with live music it’s an absolute must.! Travel further afield & you won’t be disappointed. Thira is definitely worth a visit but it’s crazy busy so avoid at peak times if possible. The beach at Perissa is fantastic with volcanic black sand and a wealth of restaurants & bars selling great food & drink, most of which were reasonably priced with water sports available should you wish. Kamari beach is a rocky beach & lot more commercialised but perfect if that’s what you’re after. So many more things to mention but find out for yourself & visit.! ##### Anthony B.

Elle est également très bien équipée, fonctionnelle et très propre. L'accueil des propriétaires est également parfait, avec des conseils utiles sur les restaurants. Le seul point négatif est que la maison est située à proximité d'une route qui est très fréquentée l'été a Santorin. D'où un bruit de circulation quasi permanent dont l'intensité varie selon la force et la direction du vent et qui gâche un peu les moments passés en extérieur sur la terrasse. ##### Nicolas C.

Well situated in such a quaint town, close enough to the action in Fira and Oai, but out of the fray and nice to come home to the quiet and plunge pool at the end of each day. The property has everything you might need - we did not take advantage of the grill area, but having access to the kitchen was very handy. The local bakery was a five minute walk and provided us with all the breakfast, coffee, snacks, ice cream, etc. that we needed. Bus stop is close and worked well. Communication was great leading up to our stay and Michael was very responsive to the one small issue we had. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property! ##### Sherry M.

The property is beautiful and exceeded our expectations and spotlessly clean! The outside space is wonderful with the plunge pool area for privacy and a great roof terace with sun loungers for amazing views of the village. A great place for evening drinks. We initially used the buses but decided to hire a car to explore the island. Mark is a friendly guy and generally around to give advice. We would recommend. ##### Christopher C.

Mark was incredibly helpful and gave wonderful suggestions for places to eat, etc. and always very easy to contact when needed. The village is very traditional and peaceful, we loved getting to know some of the locals and restaurant workers, all very friendly. Easy bus rides to Fira, Oia, and Pyrgos, but always loved coming back to the village. We highly recommend Mark & Christine’s property when visiting Thira (Santorini)— we will be back one day! ##### Alyssa K.

The property itself is just great. It’s really interesting because it’s actually built into the hillside almost likes caves. One might think that sounds dark and depressing but is quite the opposite. Firstly it’s wonderfully naturally cool but the air conditioning comes in handy. It’s quite light. The sitting room has light coming from the front door window and shining through from the kitchen. The master bedroom has a skylight that you can see in the pictures. It’s actually two (quite small) houses combined and the second bedroom in the second house has a lovely window seat that you can access via a couple of steps that looks out into the courtyard. The master bedroom has an en-suite bedroom. There is a second bathroom both bathrooms with great showers. The house is very stylishing decorated and great thoughtful touches throughout with lovely fixtures and fittings such as stone basins in the bathrooms. The kitchen is a nice space where you can cook proper meals if you wish. The outside space is just fab. The downstairs courtyard works really well. The seating area shaded by a sail which provides decent shade for most of the day is great for sitting and playing games and eating meals and dipping into the pool to cool off. The rooftop terrace is a real treat. We used it early morning and early evening in particular. There are sun loungers and a really nice seating area with a brolly for shade. The view over the village is fab. One evening we sat up there listening to piano music from the nearby cafe. Finally in terms of Megalochori - its a litter treasure of a place. A lovely little town / large village. Multiple nice little places to eat, little shops selling art, leather goods, etc. There is a family bakery and a decent mini market selling most of what you will need. It’s a decent hub to explore the island. After some deliberation we elected not to hire a car. We were picked up from the airport for 30 euros and we got buses around the island. It’s pretty straight forward. Fira is the hub and a. Very easy bus ride. You can change there for buses to anywhere else on the island including Oia. To get the bus to the Fira there’s a bus stop near the mini market on the LHS on the main road if you turn left on the road from the family bakery. You can get buses heading south or across the island to Perissa opposite the family bakery. ##### Mr S.

From our first contact via email through to the final day you have been amazing. Prior to our trip we had a few questions regards airport transfers and car hire. Both of these where arranged for us which was a great help to get our holiday off to a perfect start. The airport transfer was waiting for us on arrival and the car was delivered as agreed to the local bakery just a five minute walk away the next day. The property itself is perfect in every way. We've stayed in properties all over the world and Alba Lily is right up there with the very best. The interior and external spaces are fabulous, all completed to the very highest standard with Mark on hand every couple of days to clean the pool area. The location in village itself was ideal, with the local bakery & several restaurants within a few minutes walk, a local mini market within 10 minutes on foot and a number of large supermarkets and cash & carry outlets just 5 minutes by car you really do have everything you need here. Personally, when booking a property I always read the reviews as you also do if you are reading this one. I booked based on the previous comments and am happy to add mine to the long list of others. This whole experience has been Simply Amazing. ##### Gary W.

We highly recommend this beautiful property! Mark was an amazing host, easy to communicate with and very helpful. The home is exactly as pictured. Megalochori is a quaint little town in a great location. There are amenities/restaurants within walking distance. We were happy to be in a quiet area. We could easily drive to Oia or Fira (very busy touristy areas) and were a short drive to Kamari and Perissa beaches. We loved it! ##### Melinda L.

From the moment we booked our stay on line, and all through the process, Christine was wonderful answering all our questions. On site Mark was great, and helpful as well. The Alba Lilly is perfection, clean, beautiful and in the perfect location. This was a fantastic experience all around start to finish. Thank you ##### David F.

We enjoyed our stay at Alba Lily very much! It is beautifully maintained, nice amount of space and the outside amenities are perfection. We loved the upstairs terrace with views of the village and the pool was such a welcome feature on the hot days. This location is great for those who don't want the more crowded areas of the island but it is still convenient to the port, airport, restaurants etc. The hosts are very welcoming and provided great communication and assistance throughout our stay. ##### Julie H.
