Description Blazing Asteria: Mesaria

Taking inspiration from Cycladic design is this whitewashed villa perched high on a hilltop. We're big fans of the simple, modern interiors, in particular the curved lines that reflect the traditional cave houses of the island. The exteriors are the real highlight, however. The generous terrace offers far-reaching views of Santorini, which you can enjoy from a sun lounger, the shaded dining table or from the comfort of your private infinity pool. The villa location is also a winner - you're within walking distance of Imerovigli, a beautiful village located on the edge of the caldera known as the Balcony of the Aegean.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.

*You won't find an oven here – though there is a hob. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.

*Children are welcome here but the hilltop location is probably best suited to older kids.
