Floral Feast Megalochori, Santorini

Property Description

Located in peaceful Megalorchori on the island of Santorini, this historic villa offers a relaxing retreat from which to explore the beauty of the village and its picturesque surroundings.

Dating back to the 19th century, this home was once owned by one of the island’s feudal landlords whose wealth stemmed from the export of Vinsanto wine, which is still produced in Santorini to this day. Traces of the home’s past can be seen in its heavy wooden doors, polished wood floors, vaulted ceilings and the original stone arch in the kitchen. Alongside these historic features, you’ll find contemporary furnishings and modern comforts aplenty – we’re particularly enchanted by the main bedroom’s dreamy four-poster bed.

It’s the home’s outsides, however, that really steals the show. Not only is there a terrace off of the kitchen equipped with a long table and chairs for alfresco meals while looking out onto Megalorchori’s Venetian bell towers, but there’s a beautiful flower-framed courtyard too where you’ll find a dazzling swimming pool. Spend your days catching some rays on the loungers before cooling off in the water and luxuriating long afternoons away in total serenity.

When you’re ready to venture out for some exploring, make a beeline for the central village square just a short stroll away with its pretty churches and winding cobbled paths. Alternatively, hop in your car to indulge in some sightseeing slightly further afield, with Fira and Oia – as well as some of the best beaches on the island – just a short drive away.
