Vinecrest Santorini

Property Description

It's hard to nail a minimalist aesthetic. Too little and it can feel spartan, a bit too much and it can be cluttered. This villa, however, absolutely nails it, and in a very Greek way. White-washed walls reflect the sunlight, creating a super bright and serene space to relax, and little design details like the clay pot sink nod to Grecian heritage. We particularly love the seat tucked underneath the traditional blue-painted window – it’s a cosy spot to curl up with a well-thumbed book.

Even better than the sleek interior is the two sunny terraces. One faces the vineyards, the other the sparkling sea and the Mother Mary church, so you won't be short on views. This is outdoor living at its finest – just picture lazy mornings sprawled out on the lounge chairs, afternoon dips in the small hydromassage pool and alfresco dinners under the stars. You don't even have to worry about breakfast or housekeeping, as a friendly team will tidy up and provide a continental breakfast using organic produce straight from the grounds.

Nestled in the tiny village of Finikia, you'll find old-world abodes hidden along the cobbled streets. Peaceful and quiet, it's not the liveliest place in Santorini, but with Oia's array of tavernas, restaurants and bars driveable in ten minutes, you'll still have plenty of options. For a beach day, we suggest Baxedes – it's a fifteen-minute walk, but your host can arrange transfers to the beach.
