My place is a traditional Santorini home! Built on the Caldera (Cliff), into the rock, where families of the people of the sea would live, always looking out to the Aegean where their loved ones made their living.. You’ll love my place because of the impeccable view, the peace and quiet, the traditional home experience which is so rare these days.. My place is good for one or two couples or families with or without kids. Reserved parking for guests is included.

Privacy, peace & quiet are the main characteristics of this traditional home. The house is ideal for couples, families or larger groups of friends - not a surprise because it used to fit the whole family in the old days. Six people can sleep in regular beds -2 double and 2 singles (see photos), but the built in Sofa can be prepared to sleep up to another 2 if needed.
One highlight of the house is the double outside area where people can spend time enjoying the view in peace, away from the road of Imerovigli, and closer to the sea and the volcano across. In 2023 a Jacuzzi has been installed in the front outside area. Also, bathrooms have been considerably enlarged and the kitchen area has been redone.

You need to follow a short traditional path down to the house, from the top of Imerovigli, but it will reward you in that you are really away from the crowd even in the most busy months of the island. There are about 60 steps going down or up, about 5 minutes both ways.

Throughout your stay our team will be available to help you enjoy a once in a life time vacation on our island. We will start with a virtual tour upon arrival to customize your experience to activities of most importance to you. We will connect you to the island, seek priority service for you, and make your stay as easy and carefree as possible. Anything you need, our team will be a phone call away - including arranging for a private meal at the house, recommendations and reservations regarding restaurants, beach accommodations, night clubs, tours, sailing trips, scuba, massage, workouts, transfers.

Imerovigli is a peaceful village area, very well known for its position and view. It is on the higher side of the cliff allowing for a spectacular view of the Caldera of Santorini - right across from the Santorini Volcano. There are different restaurants and stores in the area to dine and purchase goods, but to experience the night life and more commercial side of the island one needs to go to Fira which is a 5 minute drive, or a 25 minute walk. The airport as well as as the beaches are generally on the other side of the island which is a 20-30 minute drive.

Depending on your need, we can help you with transfers from one place to the other, or you can rent a car for the duration of part of your stay!
