Portrait of Aphrodite Vourvoulos, Santorini

Holiday Rental Description

With two alfresco dining areas, several day beds, poolside sun loungers, a chill-out space, and a sprawling pool terrace, this gorgeous villa is perfectly set up for large gatherings with your extended family, or a big friendly get-together.

Start by sipping a fresh Greek coffee in the comfort of the outdoor sofas, while admiring the shimmering sea in the distance. Swim a couple of leisurely laps of the pool or bubble away in the jacuzzi, before picking out a lounger to dry off on. When lunchtime calls, grill locally sourced meats on the barbecue and serve up an alfresco delight on the dreamy terrace. Achingly beautiful, we particularly love the traditional blue-white exterior and natural stone walls that stay true to the typical Cycladic buildings around the island.

Speaking of, head out and explore the neighbouring town of Thera, where you'll find plenty of blue-domed churches, whitewashed villas, fine-dining restaurants and buzzing bars, only 3km from your villa. Alternatively, pack your seaside essentials and walk 450m down to the nearest sandy beach at Vourvoulos for relaxing days along the coast.
