Set amongst picture-perfect vineyards just outside Oia – where whitewashed houses carved into the rugged clifftops cascade towards the sea – this endlessly romantic villa is a vision of serene relaxation. A masterclass in pared-down Cycladic architecture, you’ll find elegantly dressed interiors in neutral tones and a scattering of earthenware ornaments nodding to Santorini’s ancient past. Plump beds ensure a peaceful and restful night’s sleep and glorious wake-ups to views over the vine-covered hills. The home’s crowning glory, however, is its dazzlingly white patio area. While away blissful hours in the soaking pool that’s half-covered by a domed canopy or soak up plenty of rays on the outdoor seating. You’ll love watching the famous Santorini sunset from this coveted outdoor spot and enjoying a starlit dinner here before retreating to your plush beds. What’s more, your host provides everything you could ask for in order to never lift a finger. From fresh daily breakfasts to organised wine tours and cooking classes, your every desire is attended to. They’ll also happily arrange in-room massages, manicures, as well as yoga classes should you want to work on your sun salutations. When it comes to sightseeing, Oia is a thirty-minute walk away (or eight minutes away by car) while the local village of Finikia is a ten-minute stroll from your door. The pebble-scattered Baxedes beach is a twenty-minute walk away too and Amoudi Bay – Oia’s tiny port and a local swimming spot of choice – is ten minutes away by car. Keen hikers can choose the clifftop trail to Thera – past beautiful blue-and-white churches and the sheer drops of the caldera – while another footpath at Imerovigli (a thirteen-minute drive) climbs to Skaros Rock – a craggy headland with a ruined fort boasting matchless views over the Aegean.
