Tell us a bit about the history of Villa Santorini I.
The villa actually belongs to my family and was restored 10 years ago. Before that it belonged to one of the feudal landlords who became wealthy by exporting the Vinsanto wine. We tried to renovate it the best way possible to maintain the original feeling of the house but still added some features. Now it has comforts like a private pool, air conditioning, WIFI, iPod with docking station, satellite TV. We tried not to change the traditional style of the original house which features a beautiful secluded courtyard with garden (where the pool is), and a smaller but equally lovely yard for alfresco dining with views on the village church domes.
To you personally, what has been most rewarding about running a villa rental?
When I was first involved to open our villas to vacation guests, I really enjoyed it because it is fantastic to be able to interact with people from all over the world. And it is very rewarding to see guests come to our house, have a great time and recommend us in travel reports.
Also, I am very happy for the world-class recognition of Santorini, which was voted every year for the last years as the World’s Best Island by popular travel magazines like Travel + Leisure and Conde Nast Traveller.
There are two bedrooms, the bigger one with a four-poster bed, a big dining and living room area with a kitchen and a bathroom. Double doors open to the cobblestoned courtyard with a Moroccan-style pool and an alfresco dining area with lovely views over the village. Our Concierge can arrange anything from private massages to private boat tours.
The serene and relaxing atmosphere, especially when you return in the evening and just relax in the beautifully lit courtyard with the pool is really special.
The villa is very original and traditional even though it has all the modern comforts and amenities. There is even a 24 hour concierge service and a daily maid, just like in a 5 star hotel. It has original wooden floors and high vaulted ceilings, and all the furniture are either original antiques or made by local artisans to complement the history of the house.
We have free WiFi and air-conditioning. The walls of the villa are big and provide cool temperatures, but it’s nice to have A/C anyway.
There are lots of attractions: You can have a private boat tour, go to the beach or visit archaeological sets. 15 mins away, in the town of Akrotini, where they have excavated an ancient village was covered with lava, from the Minoan era. Near the villa there’s a two hundred year old winery where guests can taste the excellent wines of Santorini. We provide our guests with a villa brochure with our personally tested recommendations regarding activities and places to go & eat, and if that’s not enough the concierge will be happy to help out.
The villa’s integration into village is really special: The second you step outside you find yourself surrounded by the many white-walled houses of Santorini and the village’s domes while the traffic free village square with the lovely restaurants are only 50 meters away! Another big advantage in comparison to some other houses is that the villa is really private and surrounded by big white walls. That’s why in the past we had many celebrity guests enjoying their privacy with us during their vacation on Santorini.
Due to the fact that the villa is located in that particular village: anytime. Usually Santorini gets really packed during summer, but Megalochori is not touristic, so anytime is good. To me personally early July and September is the best time to avoid Santorini’s tourist crowds. But to some people seasons don’t matter anyway as they simply want to relax in the pool all day long and just go to the village square and back.
