Santorini is known for its mystical caldera views, charming villages of hilly cobblestone paths, and lavish accommodations. Here, in this hillside villa, you get the best of it all. The ancient streets of one of the island’s most picturesque villages, Akrotiri, are right outside, while the home itself sets the scene for the perfect Santorini getaway. Commanding vistas of the old Castle of Akrotiri, the sparkling caldera, and the looming volcano are in full view from the outdoor area. From cosy nooks set into stone walls, a sofa area beneath the pergola, and most importantly, a mesmerising infinity pool, the views will follow you from one to the other. Spend blissful days finding your favourite spot, whether that’s taking time alone and reading, sipping cocktails perched against the pool’s edge, or playing cards with friends in the sun. Come dusk, the scenery becomes even more spell-binding – the sunset is perfectly complemented by a crisp glass of wine. Inside, the elegant interior is interspersed with traditionally Grecian touches. Settle down in the cosy corner of the kitchen for continental breakfast spreads and relax in bedrooms that have a distinct Santorini style. For total relaxation, make use of your own spa room – sink into the elevated stone jacuzzi, reminiscent of the Grecian baths of Olympia. Exploring comes easy here. Take the short 200-metre walk to White Beach, hop in the car for a day out in Fira, and visit the iconic viewpoints of Oia.
