I stayed at the Pink Freud Villa with my mom, and I must say this was the best decision I’ve ever made when traveling to Santorini! We were picked up by a driver, which you can arrange ahead of time with Lena, the owner and the sweetest lady. Once you arrive, you’ll be greeted with warm welcome from freshly baked cheese bread/pastry, to the water, bread, cheese and such in the fridge, and if you’re lucky, the owner’s cute black cat might come say hi too. This villa also has the privacy that villas or hotels don’t in Oia, which is where all the famous Santorini photos are taken with the white walls and blue domes. If you look at photos of Oia, it is beautiful but it’s filled with tourist and you get no privacy if you’re chilling in your pool. Also, vehicles can drop you right in front of the Pink Freud Villa, if you decide to rent a car, there’s also a parking lot right next to it. If you stay in Oia and you have a lot of heavy luggage, you might need to carry those down the small stairs and winding roads, or unless your hotel provides services to help you carry those down for you from the main road at the top. The Pink Freud is located in Finikia, which is a quiet town right next to Oia, it’s only a 10-15min walk to the beautiful Oia town. Santorini is known for its sunset and you can see it right at your patio at the Villa, which is an amazing amazing bonus!! Santorini gets pretty windy in the winter, and everything is closed, so make sure you visit outside of Nov-Feb. We visited in mid-Oct and the weather was just perfect! The temperature was pretty consistent throughout the day and night at around 73-75 degrees Fahrenheit / 21-25 degrees Celsius. The housekeeping team at Pink Freud is also very sweet and kind, you can let Lena know whenever you need any services inside the Villa, like if you needed need the bed made or more fresh towels, otherwise they will just cleanup the pool/patio area every morning and won’t disturb you. They are super quiet I stayed in the room on the first floor and I’ve never once heard them. I love the aesthetic and how comfortable the bed was. The couch was also such a treat to lie on after a long day of walking around. FYI, there will be donkeys walking by the main road right outside the villa, as donkeys are one of the main transportation for goods and people in Santorini. And yes they poop, but the housekeeping team at Pink Freud helps take care of that, which is awesome. It’s pretty cool to see a bunch of donkeys walking past by though in my opinion. Also, there aren’t many bugs at all, which I was pleasantly surprised about. All the doors and windows have screens so you can let the fresh air in without worrying about any flies coming inside. The Villa has two levels, at the one we stayed at, there’s a big king bed room on the floor with a full bath next to it, on the second floor there are two more rooms one with a big bed and two twin size beds, so it could sleep 6 people, the couch is also very comfort
