If you’re searching for a home steeped in tranquillity, your search is over. The interiors of this home ooze contemporary elegance, infused with natural light. But, step outdoors and it’s even more serene. With sweeping views across the bay of Marathi and the White Mountains of Crete, you can soak up the scenery while dining alfresco, cooling off in the private pool or topping up your tan. If the sea draws you in, the good news is that there are not one but two beaches within a short drive, with Marathi and Loutraki beaches on your doorstep.

Modern, sleek and beautifully appointed, this seafront villa is perfect for group get-togethers and family gatherings. With direct access down to Tersanas Beach and a gorgeous infinity pool overlooking the Aegean Sea, you'll be pinching yourself from the moment you arrive. You're also just a twenty-minute drive from the charming Venetian city of Chania, should you wish to embark on any cultural excursions. 

Otherwise, let the afternoons slip away as you down cocktails on the sun loungers, plate up traditional Greek lunches under the veranda, and cool off with a gentle swim in the warm water – all while watching the changing moods of the ocean below. As you can tell, we adore the far-reaching vistas, but the stylish interiors really caught us by surprise. 

Open the sliding doors, instantly expanding your communal space, while bathing the home in natural sunlight. Looking around, you'll notice the high-end touch that's been given to this bright pad – from the plush kitchen and cooking island to the freestanding bathtub in the main bedroom. Later, fall into a blissful slumber as you listen to the waves crashing and look out over the ocean from the comfort of your own bed.

Welcome to your personal relaxation retreat. Comprised of a spa, jacuzzi and massage room, this serene sanctuary is Santorini's slice of tranquility. It's tailor-made for those of you who need to alleviate the stresses of the modern world. 

The secluded location, spectacular views and soothing amenities are designed to put your mind and body at ease. Go for a morning soak in the jacuzzi, lounge by the pool under the afternoon sun then finish the day with a luxurious massage. It's unbridled relaxation at every hour.

After feeling fully rejuvenated from a day of wellness, Santorini is a nucleus of inviting towns and stunning beaches. Enjoy some hummus, taramasalata and tahini at the local cafes, complemented by the warmth of fresh bread.

To really explore the rugged coastline, we recommend hiring a car and visiting the white sands that define Santorini. The beauty of the beach radiates at all hours, whether it's a dreamy sunrise, a magical sunset or somewhere in between. 

Whilst you're out, pick up some meats and halloumi to grill on the BBQ back at the villa. Sunsets and cosy evenings on the outdoor sofas are always better with authentic food in your hand.





Summer Wellness

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. 

Aphrodite's View

Desk / Workplace

Once a winery, now a sanctuary for a small family or group of friends, this whitewashed villa is all about relaxing in style. Inside, it’s contemporary and minimalist – we loved the uncluttered spaces, double-height ceilings in the living area, wood accents and hand-selected, Scandi-style furnishings. There’s a smart kitchen-diner, where you’ll begin mornings with breakfast courtesy of your host, and an office space for planning your itinerary (or penning smug postcards.) 

Outside, you’ll find a terrace complete with a pool and knockout views of the Cretan Sea. Spend the day lolling about on a lounger, watching over the Venetian Castle and basking in a gentle ocean breeze. When you’re ready to explore your surroundings, the Bronze Age settlement of Akrotiri is just a short walk from your doorstep, or hop across to Caldera Beach, an excellent spot for snorkelling.

Chalk White & Sage Green

If you’re looking for sun, sea and tranquility, it’s all here in this pristine villa in southwestern Santorini. A private abode overlooking Caldera Beach, enjoy locally-sourced meals alfresco on one of two terraces, or take in panoramic views while cooling off in the sparkling pool.

Located in the peaceful village of Akrotiri, you’re well placed for sampling local cuisine with an array of seafood tavernas and traditional Greek eateries within a twenty-minute walk of the villa.

Once you’ve had your fill, take a half hour stroll down to the remains of the pre-historic city of Akrotiri, one of the most important of its kind in the Aegan. 

Swim For It

Welcome Hamper

Slip into the Santorini state of mind at this peaceful villa with expansive ocean views. The traditional white-washed home is cool, calm and considered, rich in Cycladic curves that contribute to the restful island ambience.

Open heart, open mind – and most importantly, open home. Feel instantly welcomed by the luminous living area with an open-tread staircase and rounded arches leading into adjoining rooms. The decor is pared-back and minimal, kept down-to-earth with boho textiles and light-hearted wall art. If you thought interiors were impressive, wait until you see the private pool lined with inviting loungers. Follow up a morning of sunbathing with a trip to the on-site spa, where revitalising massages and natural treatments await.

Your Grecian home looks directly out at the azure Aegean Sea. The closest access point, Caldera Beach, is just a ten-minute stroll away – lay back and listen to the waves lapping on the sun-soaked shores. Nearby, the archaeological site of Akrotiri is also worthy of a visit. This Minoan settlement was buried under volcanic ash in 17 BC, preserving it to this day.

Hand of Hygieia

Parking On Premises

Tucked away in southwest Santorini and looking out across a stunning bay, this Cyladiac home is perfect for those seeking a romantic retreat. The terrace is the big draw here – the hot tub, sun loungers, and outdoor seating are all idyllic spots for enjoying a glass of ouzo as you watch the sunset over the water. You've four beaches in a one-mile radius here, so there is plenty of opportunity to go for a dip in the ocean. Although the kitchen here won't be suitable for anything extravagant, there are plenty of local eateries a short stroll away too.

Experience the beauty of Santorini from this stunning Akrotiri home. It’s perfectly positioned in a picturesque neighbourhood in Caldera and boasts glorious views of the volcano and Oia. The views can be admired from balconies and from the terrace, which features a pool with a Jacuzzi, and a terrace with comfy sunloungers and a sheltered pergola, perfect for alfresco dining. The villa is close to Red Beach and the archeological excavations in Akrotiri, so you’ll have plenty to keep you entertained. Inside, the villa blends classic Cycladic style with modern amenities, giving you the best of both worlds. 

Santorini Sunset

Heated Pool

Free Parking

Serene, with views of the iconic 19th-century Akrotiri Lighthouse and the deep blue Aegean sea from the cosy day bed or private pool, this villa is perfect for a family holiday to Santorini. Though it might not have a kitchen, there are plenty of cafes and restaurants within walking distance and with a coffee machine in-house, you can at least get your caffeine fix before venturing out.  The iconic Caldera is a walk away, and White Beach is around 2km away. Enviable views, check. Location, check. Comfort, check.

The Cycladic Harmony

Baby Bath

Dryer

Beach Essentials

Formerly a bakery, this handsome stone building is now home to a villa that provides a slightly offbeat place to stay in Santorini. Inside, there are two separate apartments — one on each storey — that both feel typically Mediterranean in spirit, particularly the white walls, flowing fabrics and wooden furnishings.

While the outdoor space isn't the largest, the host can't be accused of not wringing every last drop of potential from it. There's not just one, but two Jacuzzis out here, as well as no shortage of loungers and seating on which to soak up the sunshine. Throw in the barbecue and an alfresco dining area, and what more could you need?

The surrounding town of Emporio is a charming mix of medieval alleys, whitewashed architecture and historic attractions, like the fifteenth-century Venetian Castle. If you fancy a day at the seaside, however, your nearest beach is just 3km away.

Sweet Treat

Mini Bar

Displaying the ingredients of classic Cycladic architecture, this home offers relaxed island living with its whitewashed walls and inviting heated hot tub. The suite is simply furnished, and there's no kitchen, but you can start the day with the breakfast served in the comfort of your private suite. There's freshly brewed coffee, oven-fresh croissants, fruit salad, Greek yoghurt topped with honey and other local delicacies. But what about dinner, we hear you say? Well, there's a restaurant on-site or head to one of the many tavernas in charming Mesaria village, which sits on the edge of Santorini's caldera. There's an ouzo distillery, too, where you can go for tastings, while St. Paisios of Mount Athos has vibrant frescoes to admire.

Natural Life

Now that's what we call a view – perfect for catching the sun setting behind the nearby volcanic island over cocktails. Inside, the home boasts plenty of Santorini style, with plenty of curves and vaulted ceilings. Two of the bedrooms are a little on the small side, but we suspect you'll want to spend as much time as possible outside here – the stunning Jacuzzi and terrace area are perfect any hour of the day or night, while the alfresco dining area is an ideal spot for breakfast. 

A Greek Wonder

DVD Player

Aspronisi Luxury Villa is a truly enchanting 80 square meter holiday rental located in Santorini's charming village of Megalochori, a mere 50 meters away from the captivating caldera. With its light-filled and tastefully decorated interiors, this newly-built villa holds two delightful bedrooms that boast breathtaking views of both the Akrotiri caldera and Profitis Ilias Mountain. Step onto the spacious balcony and immerse yourself in the ultimate relaxation by enjoying an outdoor hot tub while being captivated by the splendid vista of the caldera at sunset—a truly unrivaled experience! For ultimate sun worshipping, head to the semi-outdoor area, complete with sun loungers and umbrellas, where you can soak up the warm rays while reveling in the beauty of the caldera. Aspronisi Luxury Villa also offers guests access to a private church—an emblematic testament to authentic Greek heritage—and ample parking space. Immerse yourself in Greek hospitality at Aspronisi Luxury Villa, where tranquility meets elegance against the backdrop of Santorini's ethereal landscape.

The Crystal Fountain

Paid Parking

When we think of Fira in Santorini – we imagine views of the inky blue caldera, and this studio apartment doesn't disappoint. You can enjoy them from the private terrace and heated hot tub. Another highlight here is the Greek breakfast with locally sourced ingredients which can be savoured in the room, terrace or the host's secluded courtyard (handy as there isn't a kitchen here). Inside, the suite is decorated in a simple, traditional style, reflecting the island. The location is fabulous too – it's 100 metres from the Megaro Gyzi Museum and 150 metres from the cable car which takes you to the old port. The centre of Fira and the Archaeological Museum of Fira are both just 200 metres away too.

Honeymoon Avenue

This lovely home is an ideal base for two couples looking to relax on Santorini. It can be found in Pyrgos, the highest village on the island, which boasts wonderful views over Santorini. It’s also the medieval part of the island so there’s plenty to see and do. The port is just 5 kilometres away. The home has a terrace and a private garden with an outdoor Jacuzzi – a great spot for sunset. There’s even an indoor pool at this charming home. 

Divine Forepath

Underfloor Heating

Once you arrive at this peaceful Cycladic villa, you'll never want to leave. With room upon room of impeccable design and an array of sun-soaked attractions on your doorstep, this bright four-bedroom home will make your stay in Santorini one to remember.

Past your private seawater swimming pool, you'll step into a restful open-plan living space that brings a modern touch to this ancient island. When you're not lounging on the inviting sofa suite or dining at the rustic kitchen table, you may want to peruse the selection of award-winning wine and champagne in the downstairs cellar.

A guest house offers self-contained accommodation for the holiday-makers who value privacy, fitted with its own kitchenette and understated living space that will have even the most discernible decorators taking notes.

When you feel the beach beckoning, there's a selection to choose from. You'll hit sandy stretches of Vlychada, Agios Georgios and Perivolos in a leisurely forty-minute walk – or less if you take the nearby bus. Seeking something unique to lodge in the memory bank? We'd recommend Perissa beach, a striking expanse of smooth black pebbles.

Gaia's Rest

This luxurious suite is the perfect place to relax and enjoy your holiday in Santorini. The suite is beautifully decorated with elegant furnishings, traditional artwork, and warm lighting, creating an ambiance of intimacy and comfort. Whether you're on your honeymoon or celebrating a special occasion, the "Aristofanis Sunset Suite" will provide you with an exceptional and unforgettable stay.

Sunset Suite

Nestled within the breathtaking landscape of Santorini, the 1 bedroom cave house villa boasts exclusive views of the caldera and the famous sunset, while offering all the modern amenities you would expect from a luxury home. The villa's elegant design exudes a sense of tranquility, blending contemporary style with the simplicity of island living, providing guests with a unique and exclusive experience.
The Master bedroom, with its comfortable bedding and en-suite bathroom, opens up to the terrace, offering uninterrupted views of the stunning caldera. The Open plan Kitchen and Living Room provides guests with a comfortable eating area, flatscreen TV, and direct access to the terrace, where you can find the perfect spot to relax and unwind on comfortable loungers. The fully fitted kitchen is equipped with all the necessary modern appliances...

Caldera View Cabin

Games Room

Set on a clifftop in the south-western tip of Santorini, this villa is something special. Views of the sparkling blue Aegean greet you from every angle, and there are four decked terraces to enjoy them from. Start your day with sunrise and an early-morning yoga session in the fresh air, and round things off with alfresco dinner prepared by a private chef.

The villa’s lofty location adds to the tranquillity, but there’s plenty of action when you want it. Pyrgos – Santorini’s best-preserved medieval settlement – is just a short drive away. Time your arrival for noon, when locals tend to meet up outside for meze or ouzo. Mesa Pigada beach is just a five-minute drive from the villa, so sun-worshippers in your group will be satisfied. We spent a thoroughly pleasant afternoon getting lost in the narrow streets of Fira, which, in addition to being utterly beautiful, is great for shopping.

Some guests might not be able to tear themselves away from the villa, and it’s easy to see why. The pool alone is reason enough to stay, whether you’re swimming lengths or reading a book while dipping in a toe or two. 
Make full use of the barbecue by grilling some local halloumi to serve with fruit and honey. When the sun dips low into the sky, pop open the bubbly and slip into the hot tub. It’s a remarkable spot for stargazing. 

Perhaps most surprising about this seemingly traditional Cycladic home is that a professional recording studio is tucked away inside. If these walls could sing…


Rhythm & Views

Set in the picturesque village of Megalochori in Santorini, Alia Mansion is a beautifully restored Santorinian mansion that will transport you to a world of enchantment.

Idyllic Villa

Cafetiere

Secured Parking

Set on the coast of Santorini, amongst unspoilt countryside and rolling vineyards that extend down to the sea, this villa is the perfect getaway to Greece’s most desirable island. Built in local stone, the whitewashed walls are home to smooth curves and arches in the classic Cycladic style. The interiors reflect the natural surroundings, with pale wooden floors, and a light colour palette with splashes of sea blue. Outside you’ll be treated to unparalleled views of the Santorini caldera, and the Aegean sea. The villa is split across two levels, with the living room, kitchenette and two bedrooms downstairs, and the third bedroom upstairs leading out onto a peaceful balcony. All of the bedrooms have hotel quality linen, as well as soft bathrobes and slippers to relax in. 

Start the day with a dip in the pool before breakfast overlooking the sea. This is one of seven adjacent villas, and built into the rock underneath the estate there’s a luxury Cave Spa, where you can book massages and beauty treatments. For a day by the ocean, head 5 kilometres to Caldera Beach, where you can swim inside the volcanic lagoon or go diving. After a day of exploring, come home and relax in the jacuzzi bath before heading out to dinner at an alfresco restaurant in one of Santorini’s picture-perfect squares.

Cycladic Blue

Sonos

Courtyard

Mosquito Net

Located in peaceful Megalorchori on the island of Santorini, this historic villa offers a relaxing retreat from which to explore the beauty of the village and its picturesque surroundings. 

Dating back to the 19th century, this home was once owned by one of the island’s feudal landlords whose wealth stemmed from the export of Vinsanto wine, which is still produced in Santorini to this day. Traces of the home’s past can be seen in its heavy wooden doors, polished wood floors, vaulted ceilings and the original stone arch in the kitchen. Alongside these historic features, you’ll find contemporary furnishings and modern comforts aplenty – we’re particularly enchanted by the main bedroom’s dreamy four-poster bed.

It’s the home’s outsides, however, that really steals the show. Not only is there a terrace off of the kitchen equipped with a long table and chairs for alfresco meals while looking out onto  Megalorchori’s Venetian bell towers, but there’s a beautiful flower-framed courtyard too where you’ll find a dazzling swimming pool. Spend your days catching some rays on the loungers before cooling off in the water and luxuriating long afternoons away in total serenity. 

When you’re ready to venture out for some exploring, make a beeline for the central village square just a short stroll away with its pretty churches and winding cobbled paths. Alternatively, hop in your car to indulge in some sightseeing slightly further afield, with Fira and Oia – as well as some of the best beaches on the island – just a short drive away. 


Floral Feast

Knowing what to flaunt, this secluded villa takes every opportunity to show off views of the deep blue Aegean sea – whether from the private swimming pool, the balcony or the bench-style seating area made for alfresco dining. It gets bonus points for the jacuzzi, barbecue and games room, where young ones will undoubtedly spend evenings playing table football. Location-wise, Akrotiri is a sanctum to the prehistoric, and you'll find plenty of pebbled coves around. The Chapel of Panagia Theoskepasti is four minutes away, and there's an archaeological site to visit between visits to the local tavernas.

Neptune's Temple

Tucked away in the traditional village of Pyrgos, this contemporary villa offers the quieter side of Santorini. Sectioned off into a villa, guest house and studio apartment, this home is ideal for larger groups who want the option of privacy. Boasting an array of luxurious amenities from the private infinity pool to the wine cellar, our favourite feature is the spa room which comes complete with a hot tub and fitness equipment. Spectacular views over the Aegean Sea can be enjoyed from the plush sun beds or alfresco dining terrace, and there are some beautiful beaches within an easy distance. 

The Olympian

There's an awe-inspiring stillness to this place that undoubtedly brings blissful serenity and a refreshed state of mind from the moment you step foot on its elevated terrace overlooking the Aegean Sea. 

While undeniably beautiful interiors present a truly comfortable space to relax inside, it seems somewhat of a waste when we are ninety-nine percent sure you'll want to spend most of your time outside on the villa's surrounding patio. 

With a private heated infinity pool featuring floating sun loungers, an alfresco dining area, as well as off-pool day beds to enjoy – the terrace area is sure to soothe your soul to the core. Enjoy the warmth of Santorini's sun as you admire the breathtaking panoramic views of the seascape. And at sunset, there's simply no better place to share a home-cooked meal paired with quality wine than the alfresco dining area. 

At the end of a blissfully relaxing day either sunning on the terrace or exploring Santorini's most sought-after attractions – make your way to the enormous bathtub of the main bedroom to finish the day off the right way. Heaven. 

Soothe My Soul

Boasting breathtaking views of the eastern Aegean Sea, with the islands of Naxos, Amorgos and Anafi visible from the comfort of your own bed, this villa offers the very best of Santorini. Located in the village of Imerovigli, you’ll have an array of sleek bars, fine-dining restaurants and sunset viewing spots within close proximity, but if nature’s more your thing, check out the Ekklisia Theoskepasti hiking trail that leads past the ruined, 13th-century Skaros Venetian Fortress. When you return, you’ll have a private pool (with a Jacuzzi bench) and cosy terrace area to enjoy a few drinks. 

Myriad of Stars

Situated underneath the Venetian-era Pyrgos Castle in Santorini, it's hard to imagine this beautiful setting being the site of a factory, but rather remarkably, this home has an industrial history. In a former life, the building was used solely for the production of wine and tsipouro.

It has since been refurbished to become a set of four self-contained homes that can be booked out all at once. There are still signs of its history, from the cave-like rooms and the massive piece of machinery that sits in the middle of one of the living rooms. 

However, there are plenty of luxurious touches that have since been added, like the swimming pool and Jacuzzi that sit in the middle of the outdoor space, as well as the dreamy rooftop terrace that looks out over the Aegean Sea and neighbouring islands.

The historic village of Pyrgos has medieval streets and alleys to peek around, as well as a handful of restaurants and the aforementioned castle. There's also an abundance of wineries in the local area if you feel inspired by the villa, as well as Kamari Beach, which can easily be reached with a car.

The Grape-Stomper

When winding up the path to this home, you'll be struck by its traditional beauty. Reminiscent of ancient Greece, the original lime kiln was built by the owner's family over two hundred years ago. Given the rustic look of this stunning villa, you wouldn't expect to see Smeg appliances, Smart TVs, and Simmons mattresses. The blend of the old meets the new is perfectly done. It's chic and comfortable while retaining that quintessentially Santorini charm.

Swing in the hammock, glide through the infinity pool, and lounge as you watch the sun dance on the Aegean Sea. The sea becomes increasingly tempting, you'll probably want to make your way to the lovely Monolithos Beach, a thirteen-minute drive away. Santorini isn't known for its beaches, but you can count on Monolithos for its soft sand, inviting waters, and plenty of sun loungers.

When you get back salty and freckly, you'll fall in love with the home's lime kiln walls all over again. Enjoy a nice, refreshing drink on the outdoor sofas as you watch the sun dip into the Aegean's inky waters, leaving the sky in pink and orange hues in its wake. When it comes to dinnertime, Santorini isn't short of restaurants. The closest being around seven minutes away by foot – enjoy all of the souvlaki, moussaka, and dolmades that your stomach can muster. 

Kiln & Stone

This luxurious villa, nestled on the side of a rocky hill, with its breathtaking views of the sea and the surrounding islands, is a dream setting for a romantic getaway, a holiday for a small family, or an intimate group of friends. 

First and foremost, there’s the pool area, with the unrivalled vistas all around you. You simply won’t forget the sunsets here – whether taking an evening dip in the glorious infinity pool or enjoying a glass of something cool and delicious with your loved ones, you’ll truly feel like floating on a cloud. On hot summer afternoons, this is the ideal place to relax and work on your tan. 

The inside is just as beautiful – we love the simple elegance of the white interior, with cosy furnishings and minimalist touches, which offer effortless, classic comfort. The bedrooms are luminous, with plush beds and unique wall designs, which highlight the home’s rocky surroundings. You’ll also feel spoiled in the luxurious bathrooms, which evoke the serenity of an ancient spa. 

Once you’re ready to go out and explore, there are plenty of options to choose from. From Santorini’s famous beaches (Monolithos Beach is just a seven-minute drive away) and countless cultural attractions, including museums and archaeological sites, to the island’s spectacular volcano – the area has everything to make your stay truly memorable. 


Swimming in the Clouds

[A 1 bedroom cave house villa, with exclusive caldera and sunset views and all modern amenities.] Exuding elegance, this villa welcomes you with its modern simplicity and stunning island vistas. Awaken to the calming sounds of the sea and step onto your private terrace, where breathtaking sunsets paint the sky. The living room boasts plush couches and a flat-screen TV, while a fully fitted kitchen offers convenience at your fingertips. The bathroom provides a serene space to unwind whilst enjoying spectacular caldera views. Nestled within a private estate of 4 designer homes tumbling along the cliffside, this property offers intimacy and tranquility. Enjoy modern amenities such as air conditioning, beach towels, daily maid service, and Wi-Fi. Immerse yourself in the essence of Santorini at Caldera Serenity.

Caldera Serenity

Bread Maker

Beach / Pool Towels

A little off Santorini's well-trodden tourist trail, close to the authentic village of Pyrgos, this unique villa is guaranteed to appeal to lovers of subtractive design. The monolithic structure stands sentry over the surrounding countryside, dotted with vineyards that slope towards the Aegean Sea and offering views over Akrotiri Caldera and Aspronisi island. Spread over three floors, it's intended to function as a single residence. However, with bedrooms on the first and basement levels, plus a separate suite, it can be split into three entirely self-contained units, making it an ideal candidate for multigenerational families or groups of friends who want to retain some privacy.


Low Down Rolling Stone

The villa is a striking vision of modernity in the heart of Santorini. It’s a short walk from the centre of Pyrgos, a charming hilltop town where you’ll find a handful of traditional tavernas, churches and some of the island’s famous wineries. The beautiful, quiet town of Megalochori is just a four-minute drive away and the island’s capital of Fira is an eight-minute drive. 

From the sprawling terrace, you’ve got a front-row seat to the glorious Santorini sunsets over the caldera. At the golden hour, the earth-toned walls of this home practically glow and the swimming pool shimmers silver and gold. During the day you can soak up the rays on a beanbag lounger and double day bed, or gather around the outdoor dining table for a feast outside. We love the sunken seating area, hewn into the terrace and illuminated at night. 

Inside, you can feel the inspiration from nature in raw wood accents, rusted steel and marble. A traditional stone sofa is piled high with cushions in the living room and the kitchen is a vision of sleek concrete with everything you could need for self-catering. The real surprise inside is the dedicated spa and gym, with a sunken Jacuzzi for a post-workout soak. 

Sun On Earth

On the beautiful island of Thera, known by its nickname of Santorini, lies this beautiful little villa. Enjoy your own private pool, built-in barbecue and outdoor dining alongside views of the Aegean sea visible right from your bedroom. You'll never get bored of the hot Crete sun greeting you after a restful night, or drying you off after a dip in the cool, calm pool waters. Whether you're working on that tan on the sun loungers or heading off to the on-site restaurant for a complimentary buffet breakfast, this home is just the start of a wonderful trip.

With the rental car included in your stay, you'll have the whole island at your disposal. Explore the iconic black, white and red pebble beaches and turquoise waves lapping at the shores. Visit the vineyards and wineries that make Santorini so famous and try some of the best wines in the world. If wine isn't your thing, fear not – there's plenty more to do, including water sports and boat excursions to visit stunning cultural and historical sites.

Thera Winds Blowing

Soak up the Aegean rays from this 18th-century cave house on Santorini’s west coast. You’ll need to climb the hill to reach this home, but once you’re up, you’ll find a pretty courtyard, a rooftop complete with a hot tub and loungers and a charming interior. This home is best suited to a family or comfortable group who don’t mind a lack of privacy – the master bedroom opens out onto the main living area here. That said, with ocean vistas and a sun-soaked terrace to sip locally-produced wine, much of your time will be spent outdoors. Perfectly placed to explore the village of Megalochori, so why not spend the afternoon wine tasting at the nearby winery? 

Watercolour Lullabies

Herb Garden

Such is the beautiful landscape in abundance and the hilly terrain from which to appreciate it, it seems a waste to go to the Greek islands and not stay somewhere with a decent view. This villa on the highest point of Santorini's capital is, therefore, an excellent choice. From the terrace, guests are treated to a panoramic vista of the Aegean Sea and the Tholos Naftilos volcano sat in the middle.

As you would hope, there are plenty of places where you can sit and gawp at this pretty scene, including alfresco dining tables, lounges and a hot tub with an uninterrupted view of the caldera. 

Although your attention might naturally be drawn elsewhere, the home itself is a treat for the eyes, too. Although it has recently been reconstructed, it has been built in the neoclassical style popular with affluent residents that made the island their residence in the nineteenth century. As a result, you'll see domed ceilings, arched doorways and thick walls, as well as an eclectic collection of artwork and decorative items.

The prime location in the middle of Fira means that there are plenty of restaurants and cultural distractions within walking distance, including the Megaro Gizi Museum. The town's old harbour isn't too far away either.

Head of the Household

Though this villa's crisp contemporary design and Cycladic architecture is eye-catching, the true magic happens only when you're facing away from it. From the tiered terrace, where you'll find ample seating and the private pool,  picture-perfect views of the rolling landscape and deep-blue Aegean Sea unfold, thanks to the house's hillside position. From here, you can reach the tavernas of picturesque Pyrgos in moments. The beach lies a little further away, but with a car rental at your disposal, it'll take minutes to get there. Throw in daily breakfast, housekeeping, and a guesthouse where four guests can seek a little more privacy, and it's a pretty sweet deal.

The Cycladic Rose

Lift Access

We're completely in awe of this home's breathtaking island vistas. You'll find it peacefully perched on the coast, nestled in a quaint stack of white-washed dwellings and boasting a sought-after location in Santorini's capital, Thera. Here, you're a fifteen-minute stroll from the main square and a six-minute stroll from the Three Bells of Fira, while Skaros Rock is just a three-minute drive away.

With its minimalist design aesthetic and authentic Cycladic features, this home provides a chic base for couples and small groups. Inside, it's a serene canvas of white walls, brushed concrete floors and heaps of natural light, creating an inviting space where you'll love spending time. Curved ceilings and sweeping archways create a cosy, cave-like feel, while windows offer scenic snapshots of the cobalt coastline. We especially love the open-plan living area, with its stylish wooden furniture, nifty kitchenette and characterful enclaves. Spend mornings here, brewing a cup of coffee, before stepping out onto the terrace to sunbathe in the splendour of your sublime surroundings. After days spent paddling in the pool or exploring the island's untouched natural beauty, return here for a front-row seat to Santorini's glorious sunsets. 

Cobalt Cove

With views of the Aegean Sea and Anafi Island, this family-friendly home retains character from its past as two old pottery kilns. Spanning a main villa and a separate guesthouse, groups will find ample space to split off after a busy day, with different living areas and kitchens. While the pool and jacuzzi are obvious highlights, we love how the extra services – including daily breakfasts and free airport transfers – make your holiday stress-free. Within walking distance, stumble across restaurants, wineries, and Pyrgos Kallistis Castle.
