The Villa

This residence can be best described as a villa with three distinct living areas, the east, west and main canava, all with separate courtyard entrances for better privacy. Two extra foldout beds possible.

All our bedrooms are meticulously restored cave style rooms with high domed ceilings in keeping with the traditional island architecture.

All our bathrooms are luxury cave style indoor rooms that close with a door separating them from the bedrooms. They are decorated elegantly and built using an old traditional Santorinian technique for the walls and floors in order to retain an atmosphere of authentic Santorinian residence. They are all equipped with standard modern bathroom amenities, hair drier and hot air condition and ventilation systems. There is hot water available at all times.

The West Canava

The west canava can accommodate 2 persons in a specious bedroom with queen size bed, a sitting area with a wooden table for two, fully equipped kitchen and a cave style en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower. There is a table and summer umbrella in the courtyard offering lounging with magnificent view of the pool, clear blue sky and the sea filled volcano caldera.

The East Canava

The east canava can accommodate up to 4 persons in two bedrooms, a sitting room and kitchen with view to the pool and the island caldera.

The master bedroom is at the back carved into the rock with a romantic queen size platform canopy bed, secluded as a separate living area with its own indoor windows and door, in a fashion typical of traditional santorinian houses. With all windows open the bedroom can enjoy light from the outside and a view into the blue while closing the inner windows and door provides maximum privacy.

The second bedroom is at the front end and has a double bed that gives direct view to the pool and clear blue sky just from the edge of its pillows. Both rooms have access to a spacious sitting room with a wooden table for four and a fully equipped kitchen and they share a large cave style bathroom with bathtub and shower. There is a table and summer umbrella in the courtyard as well as loungers for sunbathing by the pool.

The Main Canava

The Main canava can accommodate up to 4 guests in 2 separate bedrooms and is built between the east and west canavas.

A very spacious dining room, shed with ample natural light welcomes our guests with its large monastery style table which can comfortably sit 12 guests. The kitchen is carved in the rock and designed as a separate area with easy access to the dining hall. Two circular pits in the floor used for treading grapes during wine making have been preserved, covered with glass and are beautifully lit, adding to the special character of this place.

There are two high vaulted ceiling bedrooms in main canava, each with its own en-suite bathroom. One is especially large room carved into the volcanic rock, with a comfortable built-in queen size bed, dressing area with mirror and a large cave style bathroom with bathtub and rainfall shower.

The second bedroom has a comfortable double wrought iron bed, antique furniture, mirror and its own en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower.

A large Suite with high vaulted ceiling bedroom and living room is situated at the upper level.

The suite’s living room enjoys uninterrupted panoramic views to the caldera, the volcano and the Aegean sea through its three large windows. It offers an open plan kitchen with double sofa-bed and connects to the main bedroom through a wooden door. Outside the living room there is a canopied veranda with table and chairs alongside our Mediterranean herb garden pots. Don’t hesitate to add a touch of fresh in your cocktails.
