If you're looking for a truly unique place to stay in Santorini, then it doesn't get much better than this stunning home. The former factory once produced wine, but has since been reborn as a beautiful collection of three adjoining apartments, perfect for groups who favour both style and space. 

The traditional white-washed exterior, which the island is so famous for, gives way to a cool, crisp interior. You'll find remanents of the building's past everywhere you look, from the high ceilings to the machinery that stands like a sculpture in the living room. Outside, there are beautiful views to admire from your sun lounger, and a sparkling swimming pool where you can take a refreshing dip. When evening rolls around, you can gather your guests at the alfresco dining table and serve up a delicious feast. 

The island's capital city, Fira, is just five kilometres away from here, where you can wander the labyrinthine streets and pop into the artisanal boutiques. Make sure you snap a few photos of the iconic houses built into the cliffs, and admire the tiny churches with their white walls and blue domes.

There are some homes that stand out – not because they are filled with flashy features, but because they have a unique and authentic quality that can’t be replicated. And this home, sitting on the clifftops of Oia, has the kind of atmosphere that just makes you smile. 

With its whitewashed walls, sculpted lines and soft tones, it captures the heart of traditional island life.

For a day of exploring, the home is in a great location to wander through the village, stopping at some of the iconic spots such as the Byzantine Castle ruins – only a six–minute walk away. Or the beautiful Blue Domed Church is only a three–minute walk. Enjoy a refreshing pause in one of the cafes or bars. Wherever you find yourself in Oia, you are immersed in the beauty of this special place.  

As people gather to watch the sunset, you’ll love the feeling of returning to your own private sanctuary to see the sky turn pink. Take a long soak in the hot tub, pour drinks on the terrace and share the beauty of the moment with the ones you love.

Set on a gently sloping hillside, Villa Serenity boasts a spacious outdoor area of 300m2, where you can soak in the mesmerizing vistas of the Caldera, the Aegean Sea, and the volcanic island. Relax and unwind in the outdoor hot tub or take a refreshing dip in your private pool.

Step inside the villa's 100m2 interior and indulge in pure luxury. The ground level features two separate chambers adorned with king-size beds, each accompanied by an en-suite bathroom with a shower. Additionally, you'll find a stunning sauna and a hammam, providing the perfect setting for relaxation and rejuvenation.

Cliffside Serenity

The views over the caldera from this cave home’s terrace in Oia are stunning. There are not one, but two Jacuzzis to relax in, one indoors and one outdoors with incredible vistas, while inside, the décor is classic and charming. A few things to note, we’d say –  the wifi can be a bit patchy, especially towards the back of the house. Also, you don’t get a sunset or sunrise view, but the vistas are fabulous even without them and it’s just a few minutes’ stroll to a sunset vantage point in the town. In fact, the location is ideal as you can walk to boutiques, restaurants and bars.

Just outside Oia and set to a backdrop of the sparkling Aegean Sea, this converted canava is a true Grecian retreat. Here, smooth lines, white-washed walls and characterful curves dominate the design – we think it's bright, elegant and utterly relaxing. Although it's on the smaller side, everything you'll need is accounted for, from a rainfall shower in the en-suite bath to a compact yet fully-equipped kitchen. 

But it's the dazzling terrace that makes this home extra special. Underneath the arch, you'll find a refreshing plunge pool with whirlpool jets, perfect for late-night dips. On the veranda, you can drink in the unforgettable Santorini sunset (a bottle of wine, optional) and watch as the stars slowly come out overhead. The postcard-worthy views are downright magical – think caldera cliffs, glistening ocean and the famous castle all yours to behold – and the town is only a short walk away when you fancy restaurants, bars or a day of sightseeing.

Lovers of luxury can rejoice, as this home features some wonderfully opulent touches, such as robes and slippers, plus an indoor spa pool – a very rare find for a home that sleeps just four guests. The terrace here provides a breathtaking panoramic view overlooking the caldera, as well as the gorgeous white buildings of the village.

The Beautiful Blue

200 years ago, this windmill produced bread for the whole of Santorini. Today, it’s a dreamy retreat just for two. The interiors reflect the natural landscape, with buttery-smooth white stone, cool greys and dashes of turquoise and deep blue. Wake up with freshly strained yoghurt and local honey in the peaceful living space before waltzing out onto the pristine terrace for a spot of sun-worshipping. 

Exploring begins after lunch – clear away the plates and amble into the centre of Oia, fifteen minutes from your doorstep. If you’re feeling adventurous, seek out a cliff jumping spot at Amoudi Bay and plunge into the Aegean’s clear, cool waters. But if you’d prefer to stick to dry land, find a spot on the rocks to watch the waves gently lap the shore.  

When it’s time for supper, weave through streets sprayed with bougainvillaea to find a quaint seafood eatery. After a slap-up feast, hurry home just in time for sunset. Take your place in the private hot tub with a glass of fizz and watch the sky burn orange.

From the traditional tiles to the turquoise blue shutters, this home has plenty of charm.

Head back to your villa for a front-row seat to Santorini’s famous sunsets over the Aegean Sea. The balustraded terrace feels as though it’s suspended above the ocean, jutting out from the hillside.

Breakfast is included and can be taken outdoors at the long dining table, with a side helping of caldera views. 

Inside, rooms with traditional vaulted ceilings and white-stone walls are made grand with gilded mirrors and billowing white curtains.

The Oia Oasis

A cave-style home, with panoramic views of Santorini's Caldera – we love it, and we're sure you will too. Imagine waking up to the sounds of the sea and stepping out onto your private balcony for a sfougato breakfast feast, whipped up in your kitchenette. You can even hear the waves from the comfort of your sofa. The balcony door in the living room boasts a fantastic view of the vista, perfect for when those pesky TV adverts come on. The monochromatic decor makes the bright blue hues of the ocean pop even more.

And when it's time to get out and explore, you couldn't be better positioned – you'll be right by the entrance to Oia village, with its Renaissance-era castle (built to guard against pirates) and famous church reachable in just ten minutes. If it's a day at the beach you're after, Ammoundi Bay is a four-minute drive or twenty-minute stroll (make sure you stop by one of the seafood restaurants for lunch). 

Back at home, we think evenings are best spent in the hot tub – half-shaded and given complete privacy by the arch of the staircase, with the other half offering incredible sunset views as you sit back in the bubbling water, with a glass of bubbly in hand (of course). Bliss. 

Let's Chill in the Cave

Pop some champagne to take into the bubbles in this opulent home.

An alternative is to head outside to the private roof terrace. Sunbeds and outdoor furniture make this a comfortable spot to gaze out to neverending views of the Aegean Sea. As it’ll be hot up here, put the champagne on ice and take a dip iny our private plunge pool – there’s no better way to cool off from the midday sun.

While the kitchenette might only allow for the preparation of smaller meals, the central location provides easy access to all the village’s finest restaurants and bars, as well as nearby beaches and historic sites.

Eye to the Sea

With a sunroof terrace, a hot tub and spectacular views of the Aegean Sea, the caldera and the volcano, this traditional cave-style villa is perfect for a romantic couple or a solo traveller looking to explore the island. 

Combining original features with modern decor to create a stylish living space – from the whitewashed walls and dome ceiling to the hemp furnishings, wicker chair and neutral colour palette – it's a small yet mighty villa with heaps of character. Days begin outside, with a fresh Greek coffee in the comfort of a sun lounger, overlooking the wide, sweeping vistas. Get lost in the azures of the ocean from the inviting hot tub, before drying off for an afternoon exploring this picturesque part of Santorini. 

You're just a two-minute stroll from the Castle of Agios Nikolaos, while the vibrant town of Oia has plenty of fantastic restaurants and buzzing bars clinging to the cliffs, just 50m from your front door.

Outside on the terrace, you can savour the incredible sea vistas as you sip a glass of local wine, watching the sun slip below the horizon. Round off your day with a luxurious dip in the hot tub under the stars, as you raise a toast to the good life. 

From here, you can easily wander over to the castle of Agios Nikolaos – it's just fifty metres away, and offers some of the most amazing views across the water. There are several of tavernas within walking distance, where you can savour some delicious locally caught seafood.
