A MUST VISIT!! Words alone cannot describe the magnificence of the Dome House, its setting on the Caldera, those brilliant sunsets, and the wonderful welcoming support and communication from Nathalie, Martine and Sebastian. The VRBO pictures are quite good, however the experience blows those pics away. On a scale of one to ten with ten as the best, the Dome House delivered up a thousand. We will return!!

Fantastic in all respects!! Our BEST EVER experience on VRBO. As incredible as the House is, right out the door we experienced the vast beauty of the caldera and magnificent sunsets. A MUST!! Short walk to a few wineries and a lovely small town. Martine and Sebastian could not have been more accommodating, helpful and wonderful. Nathalie was 1000% responsive. We were very sad to leave though we very intent on returning!! A must visit!!!‘

The Dome House is the most beautiful place we have ever stayed. We were a family group of 9 and stayed for a glorious week in paradise. The house and owners and managers (Nathalie, Avtar, Martine, and husband) were perfect and exceeded all expectations! We had Irini cook our first meal, which was a delicious feast. Martine came every day to attend to all our needs. The view from the patio and sunsets were breath-taking. Thank you so much for making our family vacation very special!

The house was as described in the post. The information packet that we received help us prepare for stay and was helpful during our stay. Maritine and Sebastian were awesome. They showed us around the house and helped us get settled in. They were also there when we left to say goodbye. There was one issue at the house that they responded quickly too. This is an awesome place to stay and if you are going to Santorini I strongly suggest staying at the Dome House.

Paradise in the Caldera

12 friends stayed at the Dome house for a week this past September. The house is spacious and well laid out and we were all very comfortable. It’s hard to describe just how beautiful the views and the property really are. The words “mesmerizing” and “magical” were heard over and over. Our property manager, Sebastian, was excellent and a huge resource for us. We will never forget the Dome House and hope we will return some day.

What a view 😍

Wonderful property and Bledi was so responsive to our needs! Only caution to sleepers is that the beds are firm. Some of us didn't rest well solely due to the firmness of the mattress. But hoise and view made up for it.

Krista and guests were nice people to host. Our mattresses are at the top end of standard Greek mattresses - which have provided comfort to people who live here. The house features a squash court and also serves the athletic type of guests and mattresses need to be right for all types of guests - including for back support. We will supply toppers to those who desire extra softness.

Just Incredible

Not sure where to start. There were 11 of us and we all immediately went into a trance as soon as we dropped our bags and went to the back patio and saw the view. It's incredible. The house, the pool, the view the landscaping... everything. And best of all was that I got the most cheers throughout the stay for finding it. The only problem is... you don't want to leave, like ever. There were actually some serious group discussions about putting in an offer to see if we could buy it - it's that nice.

Amazing house with views for miles

This house is everything you see in the description & more. As someone organizing a trip with 5 couples I was hoping this house would deliver and it did!! The owner & caretaker are so helpful and responsive. The home itself is so lovely for 10 adults. Each couple has their own bedroom & bathroom and plenty of common place. Plus the outside is really where you want to be with the most incredible sunsets and views of the caldera. We very much enjoyed the location & liked being away from Fira and Oia - very busy and touristy. We much preferred the adorable village of Megalochori and found cute shopping & great food. We hired Irini to cook for us the first night as we were arriving & highly recommend it. For such a big group it was economical, delicious & provided tons of leftovers. We also had the caretaker stock the house with some basics which was a great way to walk in and begin relaxing right away. I can’t say enough about this incredible vacation & the house really made it special. We all enjoyed the little touches that made it feel like a real home not just a rental. You will not be disappointed in this property!!

The absolute best rental accommodation

To celebrate a big wedding anniversary, our group of 4 couples searched high and low for just the right property. We definitely found it at Dome House! Absolutely everything described is delivered, and so much more. Emails with the owners, frequent and timely. Detailed house guide provided 30 days before, with many questions answered before they were asked. Fresh flowers and champagne upon our arrival. Simple (but often overlooked) items at the house, including paper and cleaning products in ample supply, bottled water, pool towels. Caretaker available all week and stopped in to check on our needs. Mid-week cleaning a real bonus! We couldn’t have asked for more and would HIGHLY recommend this property to anyone looking for a private, luxury villa on the island. Hints: If you’re using the local cook they recommend, and I suggest you do, invite her the first night. She made so much we ate delicious leftovers for days! Have a massage at the house! Daphne, again recommended by the owners, was wonderful, accommodating and very reasonably priced!

Amazing Santorini Location for a Large Group

We had a group of 3 families with 6 adults and 6 kids and the property was fantastic for both adults and kids alike. The house was incredibly clean and the kitchen had anything you might need for cooking although we did not do a lot of cooking. The views of the Caldera from the backyard and pool are breathtaking with fantastic sunsets! There is a small town and bakery/market within easy walking distance - the only negative is that there are no sidewalks and crossing the main road to get to the market and town can feel unsafe so you need to be careful. The Dome house is in a more remote area of Santorini and not in the main towns of Fira and Oia - we found this to be a great benefit as we could easily drive to these fantastic towns in a matter of minutes but we have the quiet island experience when we were at the house away from all the tourists and cruise ship visitors. I would HIGHLY recommend renting a car due to the house location - but this allowed us to explore all the different areas of the island (beaches, restaurants, towns) without worrying about finding a taxi. The Dome House owners, Nathalie and Avtar were always reachable by text for any requests and Nathalie had fantastic local restaurant suggestions as well. We cannot provide a higher recommendation for the fantastic Dome House and the beautiful island of Santorini!
