Set The Bar

Summer in Santorini is lived outdoors. And at this particular villa, you're well catered for when it comes to comfortable alfresco areas – including several poolside sun loungers, an outside bar and a veranda terrace, complete with covered seating, a built-in barbecue and a dining table with enough space for extra guests. Whether it's upbeat pool parties or relaxing candle-lit dinners you're after, this practical home is perfectly set up.

During the day, swim a few leisurely laps in your private pool, before picking out a lounger to while away the hours, admiring the shimmering sea in the distance. Back inside, you'll find a bright open-plan space where stylish furnishings, wood, and marble create chic, minimalist interiors.

While you could easily spend entire days soaking up the sunshine from your private villa, we recommend you go out and explore. Venture to gorgeous Thera, where typical cubiform houses cling to cliffs and excellent restaurants, bars and independent shops all vie for your attention, just 3km from your front door. You're also within easy walking distance of Vourvoulos Beach (450m away) for easygoing days along the coast.
