Ducato Wine Village

The space was beautiful and the staff was very accommodating

Excellent value for money, host was great and everything was as it seemed on pictures.

Perfect place! Emi the concierge is the best!!!

When I booked this villa in Megalochori, I knew very little about the location. We just fell in love with the architecture and really wanted to stay in a cave house. To our surprise, this village was my favourite. So quaint, quiet, and authentic, one really gets a feel for rural life in Greece. I could have stayed forever! The villa does not disappoint either. Ample room for the 7 of us travelers. Clean sheets and towels, wifi is good when outside. The courtyard pool was perfect! Our host was a "whatsapp" message away with really good response time. Only two things to mention, one, I booked through VRBO in January and never did I receive confirmation. I could see that my VISA was charged but no written confirmation. This was a little unsettling. Three or four emails also sent were unanswered. I was finally sent an email about 4 weeks prior to​ departure, asking​ if we needed a van to pick us up from the port of Santorini. YES! From there, all was fantastic! Secondly, some of the photos in the VRBO listing are not of this property. I was under the impression that we were located much closer to the caldera as some photos suggest. - None the less, I would go back in a heartbeat​!

We arrived for our check in and we were greeted by Nerri who was our concierge for our stay. We were stunned by the gorgeous villa. It is in the wine part of Santorini away from the hustle and bustle. Everyone there was extremely friendly and the food and wine was amazing. Nerri made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. Perfect location.

I wish we would’ve spent more time here! Loved the beautiful villa we stayed in, the location and the little village and shops!

We stayed in the 5 bedroom mansion with our own private pool. Staying here was a very special experience for our family. Each room area is like it’s own villa. The pool was fantastic. Our concierge made sure we were happy. We loved being in Megalochori.

There is nothing about this place that is luxurious. Don’t stay here. There is no AC at all, being forced to use a fan and leaving all windows and door open which then mean we were mauled by mosquitos. During the day the plunge pool doesn’t have sun for half the day and there is a whiff of rotting garbage from the abandoned building across the street and flies everywhere meaning we couldn’t enjoy being inside or outside. The bathroom sink fixture is broken. The place also smelled of mold for which they brought a small de humidifier. The town itself is beautiful and relaxing, away from the crowds with a very small town square with a few restaurants. I completely regret booking this place non refundable and paying $350+ per night and being so uncomfortable I couldn’t sleep.

The place we stayed in was not what is pictured; in the photo line-up it shows two pictures of our place--the terra cotta kitchen and a partial pool w/outdoor couch w/billowy curtains. There is no view of the ocean. A couple minutes walk from the main part of town (which is a few shops and restaurants--indoor/outdoor with lovely ambiance), it is set off a quiet almost desserted cobbled street. With it's own exterior door to the private walled oasis within, it has a pool with sun during the day and shade midafternoon. There are two loungers, a hammock and a small couch around the pool area. Off this area, there is a door to the living room (couch, 1 chair, tv) and a door to the kitchen (w/dining table); there is a separate toliet/sink room with door that closes but does not shut and lock--you enter it off the main bathroom which is separated from the living room with an accordian curtained barrier that doesn't give complete privacy for changing or showering (the shower is open). The bedrooms are set back without windows and without much space for luggage-no dressers but one armoire. One bedroom has a tight ladder leading to an upstairs bed. There is no air conditioning but they provide fans. Konstantina was flexible about check-in time, met us at the town center for check-in, walked us to the villa, was very helpful with misc. questions and had a porter take our luggage there and at the end of our stay. She also arranged a transfer to the airport which was 60 euro. The restaurant in the town center that is associated with this property was very accommodating to us.

I would for sure make sure you set up pick up and drop off times way ahead of time- we tried to get a hold of them for 3 days with no luck. Cost us a ton of money in transport fee's because we couldn't arrange the free shuttle with them. Once we got a hold of them (after we arrived) they were very helpful, but we did arrange for everything on our own rather than going through the agency- we got much better rates on rental car, boat and excursions then what they quoted us.
