Thanks to a prime hillside position in the middle of Santorini, this villa is treated to beautiful views of the sparkling Aegean Sea as far as the eye can see. Thankfully, there are plenty of spots where you can just sit and drink in this panorama, whether it's lounging about in the shade of the covered balcony or cooling off from the midday sun in the infinity swimming pool. Given this sublime scenery, you might perhaps be forgiving if the actual home itself had a few shortcomings, but, rather remarkably, the interior lives up to the exterior. In the open living space, the stark white walls, gold oversized light fixtures and striking collection of artworks feel very en vogue, although the large kitchen with glossy white surfaces means that it's far from a case of style over substance. When you want to do a little exploring, the whitewashed architecture of Pyrgos takes just over a quarter of an hour to reach on foot and offers shops, restaurants and a castle. What's more, the seaside town of Kamari and its beach is only a ten-minute drive away, too.

About Santorini

There’s so little rain on Santorini that the island’s multiple vineyards are kept watered by overnight sea mist. This striking, volcanic island twists around the crater of an old caldera and the main towns of Fira and Oia are perched high above the azure water. The cafés and restaurants that line Fira’s frontage all boast caldera views, and boat tours run from the old harbour below. Rumour has it that...
