This lovely cave-like villa does what all the best homes in Santorini do – clings to the side of a cliff overlooking the caldera. It’s a great blend of old and new, split over several levels, with lots of nooks and crannies.
In typical Cyclades style, it’s whitewashed and curvy, with softly arching ceilings and built-in beds. It’s also sparsely furnished, with occasional splashes of bold colors. The villa has two double and two king-size beds, with a romantic bed in the loft that’s perfect for honeymooners.
There are also two bathrooms, a small paved garden terrace (ideal for breakfast and lunch) and a second balcony. External stairs lead to the roof of the villa where there is a Jacuzzi – with one of the best views in the world.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
Amenities include air conditioning, satellite television, hairdryer and iron with board. The villa also has a small, fully-equipped kitchen with electrical appliances such as fridge and freezer, kettle, electric cooker and toaster. Filter coffee, tea, milk and sugar are provided.
Services available at additional cost include laundry, transportation hire (car, scooter, boat, ATV, motorbike, yacht, catamaran and helicopter), reservations for excursions and restaurants, and diving/horseback riding lessons.
AROUND
The villa is located in the small village of Imerovigli, with its many shops and excellent restaurants. The village is wrapped like an amphitheater around the caldera and is famous for its sunsets.
Things to see in the village include the many lovely churches, all built in traditional architectural style. Most notable is the church of Ai-Stratis in the centre of the village, and the Monastery of Saint Nikolaos, between Imerovigli and Fira. Another famous site is Skaros, the remains of a Venetian castle built in 1207.
The property is also within walking distance (1.7km) of the island capital of Fira, 3.5km from Exo Gialos beach, and 10km from the port.
