Property
Description:
A half hour flight from Athens International Airport brings you to this paradise of whitewashed houses built into the cliff, warm sun and a cool summer breeze. Familiar images of church domes against the blue sky, mules transporting goods and tourists from the Old Harbour up to the town, cats lying lazily in the sun…so classically Mediterranean and yet so different. Some may feel humbled by the island’s energy, others elated, but Santorini will certainly never leave visitors unmoved. A unique private property, Villa Imerovigli combines breathtaking views of the Caldera with spacious terraces and elegant interiors, while offering guests excellent service and a rare degree of privacy. World famous for its stunning views of the volcano and the surrounding islands, Santorini is one of the most photographed places in the world. Located in the most elegant and sought-after part of Santorini, at the highest point of the Caldera, the house boasts a stunning 180-degree view of the volcano and surrounding islands. Lovingly re-built on the ruins of pre-existing structures, the house consists of a constellation of hypóskapha, the cave-like structures characteristic of Santorini architecture, which have been converted into bedrooms and living rooms, each with a separate entrance. These are spread out on three different levels, connected by large terraces and winding pathways, offering a unique level of privacy and neighbourliness at the same time.
Moulded into the volcanic rock, bedrooms are cool and airy during the day, and dark and very quiet during the night. Each has its own separate entrance, en suite facilities, and a small kitchen. Decoration is simple and elegant, and great attention has been given to comfort and detail, giving the villa the air of a relaxed family house. The living rooms are fully equipped with entertainment systems and all the conveniences of urban life, whilst wireless internet covers most areas.
Spacious terraces spread across multiple levels offering different lounging areas from which to enjoy the view, and a number of choices for drinking and dining. The pool is the largest private pool on the Caldera, an excellent reason to stay at home during the busy days of August.
