Blackrock Villa

Sequestered on the south western tip of Santorini, Blackrock enjoys blissful views across the ocean and the famous Lighthouse of Santorini from its cliff top vantage point. Modern and traditional Cycladic architecture blend to create a beautiful snowy white stone building. Musicians and recording artists will be inspired by its secluded location and world-class recording studio, complete with drum kit, vocal booth and full mixing desk. Families will love the play room, entertainment options and aquamarine pool. Spread across three floors, the house boasts several living, dining and reception areas plus recording studio, offering a choice of secluded indoor hangouts, sheltered from the baking South Greek sun. Here you can laze in front of the television, take an afternoon nap, enjoy a late night bottle or two of the exquisite local wines or even record an album! A large cream salon sits on the lower ground floor alongside two smaller lounges and an open-plan kitchen/diner. If you crave extra entertainment, head to the playroom with its foosball table and dartboard. A gorgeous pool encourages you to dive-bomb your friends and family, or you can simply relax poolside on a lounger and soak up some Vitamin D. The outdoor areas at Blackrock are magnificent. Four decked terraces line different sides of the villa, so you can relax, sunbathe or dine in the shade while savoring the tranquil blue expanse of the Aegean Sea and its astonishing evening sunsets. Swim or float the afternoon away, then gather with friends for a barbecue before ending up in the outdoor hot tub for some stargazing. For an extra cost you can hire a private chef. When you’re not laying down tracks, you might want to lay your body down in total comfort. Blackrock’s five luxurious en-suite bedrooms have been designed so you can do just that. The two largest suites are on the lower-ground floor, with three slightly smaller rooms on the two upper floors of the house. All enjoy stunning views and are bathed in sunshine throughout the day. When you’re ready for some shut-eye, simply block out the light with traditional shutters and sleep as long as you like. If you decide to venture out, it’s a 4 minute drive to Giorgaros Fish Tavern restaurant and 5 minutes to Mesa Pigada beach and the nearest church and grocery store. Santorini National Airport is 14 km away. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.

Tramountana

Poised on a hillside surveying the topaz Aegean Sea, Tramountana is an architecturally inspiring traditional Greek villa that looks as if it could have been fashioned out of snow. Generous outdoor areas and a high-quality interior finish lend it an air of laid-back luxury, blessed by breathtaking sea views. A separate entrance shields it from the road and there’s enclosed parking if you travel by car. Your accommodation includes complimentary car rental, third party insurance and unlimited mileage as well as transfers to and from the airport. Stepping inside Tramountana, you’re immediately struck by its uncluttered simplicity. Modern furnishings are offset by some older pieces and the décor is tastefully subtle. The main entrance leads to a bright and spacious open-plan living and dining area. Comfortably cushioned sofas invite you to take a break from the sun and choose from a selection of movies and music. A flat-screen TV, DVD player, sound system and high-speed wireless internet access makes it easy to stay in touch with the world. If you’d rather switch off, a picture window offers bewitching views of the ever-changing ocean. Fix yourself a cool drink or snack in the fully equipped kitchen and step out onto the pool terrace. Outside, a sculpted infinity pool mirrors the sea beyond and you can spend many hours just drifting and dreaming. Curvaceous sun loungers beckon you to take your place in the sun and an outdoor jetted tub promises to massage the tension from your shoulders. A well-stocked garden borders the villa and you are invited to help yourself to herbs and seasonal vegetables. Welcome shade can be found under the pergola, where you can cluster with friends for a leisurely lunch or tasty evening barbecue before retiring to the outdoor lounge for a nightcap. A second dining area at the other end of the terrace offers opportunities for more romantic dinners under the stars. Three air-conditioned, simply furnished bedrooms are brightened by vibrant bedspreads and prints. Bedrooms one and two are both en-suite and are positioned on the ground floor with access to a private terrace, while a third bedroom occupies the loft. Mosaic-tiled modern bathrooms with tubs and showers complete the ensemble. Massage treatments, yoga sessions and beauty care can all be provided at extra cost, and if you’re tempted to explore the locality you’re within walking distance of the beach, shops and nearest town. It’s 10km to the airport. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.

Villa Etheras

The quintessential rock, sea and sky of the Greek islands appear in all their glory at Villa Etheras. This cliffside Santorini vacation rental was named for ether, believed by the ancient Greeks to be the mystical fifth element from which the world was created along with air, fire, earth and water—and, in their mythology, the pure air breathed by the gods. When you sample its panoramic views, gorgeous terrace and chic interiors, you may enjoy a spiritual experience, too. Set into the rock of the hillside, the villa’s private oceanfront terrace commands views over the caldera and along the coast. Gather around the shaded dining table, stretch out on a seat in the sun or cool off in the infinity pool, which features a lounging platform that appears to be floating on the water’s surface. Inside, a TV, sound system, DVD player, Wi-Fi and air conditioning round out the amenities at this luxury property. The white stucco walls so characteristic of the islands are carried into Villa Etheras, where they wind around an open-concept living room and kitchen. A sleek fireplace surround and polished marble coffee table contrast with the soft slipcovered sofa in the living room; in the fully equipped kitchen, a rock slab is a rugged counterpoint to the minimalist cabinets and breakfast bar. The villa’s two bedrooms are the perfect size for a small family or two couples on holiday together—or even for an indulgent honeymoon in the Santorini sun. Both bedrooms have king beds, en-suite bathrooms and sea views. With a location in the quiet village of Firostefani, Villa Etheras is a short drive from the larger town of Fira and scenic, unpretentious Exo Yalos beach. When it’s time to leave your island retreat, plan on a 7-mile drive from the villa to the ferry docks at Athinios Port Santorini. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.

Villa Dio

The arches of classic Santorini architecture contrast with the bowl of the caldera in the views from this cliffside home. An infinity pool and terrace with loungers and outdoor dining seem to jut out of the rock over the sea. Stone tables and built-in sofas lend a minimalist-chic look inside the cool white rooms. The surrounding village of Firostefani is about a 10-minute walk to bustling Fira. Copyright © Luxury Retreats. All rights reserved.
