A cool contemporary take on the traditional Cycladic villa, this three-bedroom home on the eastern coast of Santorini is perfectly located to take advantage of all the island has to offer. It’s only minutes from the airport and the capital city of Fira, and located within walking distance of two great beaches.
This is a three-bedroom villa with 50sq.m private large pool , with a big living area and two bathrooms. It blends modern and traditional elements, while integrating the best of local architecture. Features we love include the vaulted ceilings and arched doorways, and the windows taking in panoramic views of the sea. The color scheme is soft whites and eggshell blues, with pops of mustard yellow.
There’s a lovely sense of space in the exterior of the property, with its generously-sized verandas and expansive view of the sea. The large private pool with its many sun loungers offers guests a great area to relax in.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES
The living area includes a modern kitchen as well as sitting and dining areas. It has a TV, as do the bedrooms.
There is air conditioning as well as a solar water heater with 24-hour hot water. There is a washing machine/dryer, and linens and slippers are provided. Other amenities provided include: iron/ironing board, first aid kit, sewing kit, hair dryer, mosquito machine, safety box. A complementary fruit and wine basket is presented on arrival, and there is a farewell gift on departure.
AROUND
The villa is 4km from the island capital Fira, making it a great base from which to explore the island. Don’t miss the Museum of Prehistoric Thira, which tells the story of Akrotiri and other ancient settlements through a stunning collection of Neolithic and Bronze Age artifacts. Many local craft studios are open fairly late, and many local wineries are free of charge.
Just 500m away is Monolithos beach, which took its name from the large rock ‘Monolitho’ upon which stands the church of Agios Ioannis. The beach has fine black sand, and the shallow wading waters make it ideal for children – plus there is a playground and a volleyball area on the beach.
The most famous seafood restaurants of the island are located 200m away, near the quiet beach of Exo Gialos, with its stunning rock formations and black sand, as well as a small fishing port.
The villa complex is surrounded in picturesque routes, which are great for walking and biking. The owners recommend climbing in the area of the volcano and swimming in its thermal waters, relaxing in local restaurants and taverns, as well as exploring archaeological sites and museums.
