Feeling the great weight of our heritage, being of Santorinian decent, we have witnessed through time the lack of focus in the historic and traditional elements of our land as well as the disrespect to the local architecture. As a result, we decided to make our ancestral home available to the discerning visitor, who would appreciate all that Santorini offers.
Santorini Villas is situated about 3 kms north of Fira in Vourvoulos. The property is built at three levels (the top being a small church, the second has the rooms and reception area and the third has the swimming pool and the barbecue area. All of these are carved out of the hill side (cave structures). The apartments are quaint and have cosy, functional furniture (bathrooms are small). The sit out (common for all the rooms) is open, has a cheerful canopy and overlooks the vast expanse of the Med. The best part about Santorini Villas is the owner Konstantinos and his housekeeper lady, K will treat his guests like family and nothing is impossible for him. Just for the two of them, go and stay at SV. Cheers
We lived in the villa Kallisti (2 bedrooms). It's very cosy traditional Greek house. There is the magnificent terrace with panoramic view. Great beds, nice towels and linens, daily service. The kitchen is too small, but full completed, there is very beautiful crockery. There is a large common area like a park with a super high-speed Internet on the territory. The are a lot of trees, flowers, terrace overgrown with fragrant jasmine. There is a very shady place under a huge sprawling carob where I liked to write travel notes for my parents. The only thing we lacked: it is a signpost to quickly find Santorini Villas. Car is required. Parking is available. Santorini Villas is magic, a very homey place. We really want to go back.
In May l 2012 I stayed at an RCI property in Santorini and stumbled into one of the best vacation experiences ever. The villa has been in this family for several hundred years, and Anna gave me excellent tips on restaurants, local festivals, and food, offered me a ride most days to the town, from which buses go everywhere. Lovely ocean view, nice pool, and great tapanade awaiting in my apt, with two bedrooms. The family church is exquisite, and Santorini Villas was a fraction of the price of most Santorini hotels. I will go again, to see the sunset from the hill, the good food in Vourvoulos, but most of all to see Anna again. It was formerly a winery for raki, and the apartments are charming. Not your impersonal chain hotel.
I had an excellent time in Santorini staying at the Santorini Villas Traditional Houses. The views were amazing and the hospitality from Anna and Michael were invaluable. They made beautiful recommendations on where to go and what to eat. The houses are made of clay so they are very cool during the day. I was disappointed that the pool was dirty from the summer before. The pluming is awful and the drainage was bad, but other than that the houses were romantic and cute. I had a great experience. Definitely go to Oia and watch the sunset. Everyone would recommend this. Also, Fira is nice for the sunset too. Fira is the capital of Santorini and you go there for shops and just to walk around. No matter where you turn you’ll have an amazing view. I didn’t wear heels the entire…
This quaint hotel has amazing views and perfect plunge pools to hang out in while enjoying the most brautiful views in the world- easy walking distance to resturants and driving distance to red and black beaches - not to be missed!!!!
