Clean villa had a cleaning woman everyday which was good, host was brilliant, good for families, pool wasn’t used as it was cold and there was no heating system for it but good for pictures, need a toaster and microwave for food, these are essential, nethertheless good experience
An amazing villa with fantastic views. Great location in the middle of beautiful Megalochori. Nikos is an attentive host and made us all feel very welcome, especially helping out with high chair and cot for our baby.
We enjoyed our stay in the village of Megalachori on Santorini because it was quiet, quaint and felt more authentically Greek than some of the more heavily tourist spots on the island. There are beautiful sites in the village with horseback riding and ATV tours nearby. The people in the village were so friendly and we loved seeing all the cats. The pool at this property was perfect and the beds comfortable and clean. We also appreciated the snacks, tea, and water. Oh the sunsets visible from this village are incredibly beautiful.
A true hidden gem! Megalochori is a beautiful village away from the hustle and bustle of the larger towns of Santorini that being said it is just as quaint and possibly more authentic than those! Around every corner is another photo op. Lots of quaint cobbled streets which contrast beautiful with the blue skies. Like a lot of Santorinian properties you can’t park outside the house but Nikos fave suggestions of free public parking a stone’s throw away which was perfect.The house has a great amount of living space and was perfect for us - 2 adults and 1 teen. The outdoor space is greater than most other houses and a fantastic bonus for us with areas both in sun and shade. The double plunge pools were great and offered variety when the sun moved.The house was kept immaculate with daily cleaning which was lovely.Nikos could not have been more helpful with recommendations and suggestions.We could not fault our stay at all.

Why they chose this property
We chose Megalochori because it is one of the most authentic and traditional villages in Santorini, offering a peaceful atmosphere away from the busy tourist crowds while still being centrally located and well connected to the rest of the island.
The property is also a family home that has been passed down through generations, which makes it very special to us. It has been carefully preserved and restored with respect to its original Cycladic character, maintaining its history and charm.
We love sharing this unique place with guests who appreciate tradition, quiet surroundings, and an authentic island experience. The village square with shops and restaurants is just a short walk away, and the Caldera is only 100 meters from the villa, offering breathtaking views nearby.
What makes this property unique
What makes Simantiri Private Villa truly unique is its authentic Cycladic character combined with its history as a family home passed down through generations. Carefully restored, it preserves its original 19th-century charm, with traditional architecture, arched ceilings, and white wooden details that reflect the spirit of old Santorini.
Its location inside the traditional village of Megalochori offers a rare sense of peace and authenticity, away from mass tourism, while still being just a short walk from the village square and very close to the Caldera.
The villa also enjoys views over the traditional village, creating a charming and authentic atmosphere, especially from its outdoor areas. Guests can relax in complete privacy with a swimming pool, hydromassage tub, and sun terrace.
This combination of heritage, location, village views, and privacy creates a stay that feels genuinely local and unique to Santorini.
