Villa in Thira

4.63 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviews

Olia Villa

Tucked away on a hillside in beautiful Imerovigli, far away from the tourist crowds, Villa Estelle offers contemporary clean and compact living with sensational views. Ideal for families and small groups, this lovely home from home can also host intimate weddings and social occasions (event fee applies). Fill your lungs with fresh ozone as you gaze across the deep blue of the Aegean Sea to the mysterious Santorini volcano and magical island of Thirasia. A villa manager and concierge will make sure your vacation lives up to your dreams and a daily housekeeper will keep everything neat and tidy. There is not a sharp angle within curvaceous Villa Estelle. The building - and even one of the nightstands - has been crafted from snow-white stone and the kitchen fits snugly into a rounded alcove. Its splendid waterfront location is mirrored by the softly lit heated plunge pool and you can enjoy fabulous views from the roof garden, day or evening. Lavender sunsets are a Santorini spectacle and an alfresco poolside dining table enhanced by candles means you can gather with friends or family and talk long into the night. Indoors, a homely living room opens out onto the sun terrace. Cushion-stacked sofas invite you to put your feet up and enjoy all the entertainments on offer. Pick a movie from the collection and play it on your DVD player. There’s a satellite television and games console. Staying connected with the outside world is also an option with Wi-Fi. Prepare yourself a fresh juice or strong coffee in the compact kitchen and enjoy it from your lounger as you soak up the morning sun. Later, you might fancy cooking up a feast on the gas grill. Drowsy from all the sea air and sunshine, you’ll be looking forward to a sound night’s sleep and Villa Estelle’s three air-conditioned king-size bedrooms can offer just that. All the home comforts are here, from LCD televisions and the finest linen to modern en-suite bathrooms with showers. There are also two sofa beds, ideal for teens and one of the rooms boasts a writing desk, perfect for penning postcards home. If you feel like exploring the area, a five minute walk will take you to a church, restaurant and grocery store in the nearby town. It’s a 8.2 km drive to the airport and nearest beach.

Villa in Panormos

Thalassa Residence

Think about the warmth of the sun and the cool of the sea breeze—and nothing else—at Thalassa Residence. This newly built Crete vacation rental is designed for relaxation, whether that means napping in the sun, making memories with friends and family, or a little bit of both. Its six bedrooms can accommodate groups of up to twelve, while a location near the town of Panormos is convenient to shopping and dining. You’ll want to spend most of your holiday on the villa’s stunning terrace, which features a swimming pool, hot tub, tempting row of loungers, sitting area, barbecue and pergola-covered dining area, all with views of the sea. Inside, however, you’ll also find luxury amenities from a games room and sauna to a private exercise room and elevator. Sliding glass doors that run nearly from wall to wall make the villa’s L-shaped great room feel like an extension of the terrace. Understated furniture and stone floors look chic (and feel cool underfoot) in the living and dining areas, while a sleek corner fireplace will add warmth if you want it. The kitchen, on the other side of the L, is fully equipped and has an inviting breakfast bar. Each of the six bedrooms at Thalassa Residence has a king bed, en-suite bathroom and TV, and several of the suites open to a balcony or terrace as well. Like the main living areas, the bedrooms are bright and stylish, with refined details like tufted headboards or graceful side chairs, plus spa-worthy bathrooms splashed with stone tile. The villa’s location in the Rethymno area is a 10-minute walk from Panormos Beach—a quieter stretch of sand perfect for a honeymoon-style stroll or splashing with the kids—and an 11-minute walk from the town of Panormos, where you can take care of shopping, explore the cobbled streets or sample the local tavernas.

Villa in Santorini

Villa Cloud

Crisp white and rounded off by its roofline, this deceptively simple villa floats above the Santorini coast. Built into the hillside’s volcanic soil, it’s been remodeled into a futuristic lair—and a hole cut from the ceiling to let the Greek-island sunshine filter through the hot tub and ripple on the walls. It’s a short drive to Thera and the seafood-restaurant-lined shores of Exo Yalos Beach. Start each morning of your holiday at this vacation rental with the complimentary breakfast, then bring a book or headphones out to the furnished balcony overlooking the sea. There’s both a jetted plunge pool and a hot tub where you can soak while watching boats ply the waters below. And while the villa may have started as a cave, it’s fully in the 21st century with its smart TV, sound system, and Wi-Fi. Wall-to-wall glass lets light pour into the open-concept living area—as does a skylight cut beneath the upper-level hot tub. The sunshine bounces off the polished concrete floors and white walls around a dining table for 4, a fully equipped kitchen hidden behind folding doors, and a sitting area with a sculptural coffee table. Thanks to the open-plan layout, even the intimate bedroom at the back of this luxury property has ocean views. It also has a queen bed and a private ensuite bathroom, making it just right for a couple on their honeymoon or looking to relive it while in Greece. The villa is a short drive from Thera, the island’s main town, where you can wander amid whitewashed houses, peer over the breathtakingly high cliffs at the edge of the city, or take a cable car down to the water’s edge. It’s also an easy trip to the volcano-dark sand of Exo Yalos Beach, where you can rent a lounger or dine on fresh fish and squid at a waterfront restaurant, and the family-friendly waters of Monolithos Beach.

Cycladic home in Thira

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.

The property commands stunning panoramic vistas from its enviable hillside position having the Fortezza fortress, Rethymno town, White Mountains and Vrysinas mountain in front of your eyes. The estate is floating 200 meters above sea level, so wherever your eyes wander, you are flooded with the blue of the horizon, sky and sea. Here you’ll be far from the madding crowd, but at the same time just a 4 Km drive from the popular Old Town of Rethymno and its golden sandy beach. Being equally close to the main road, guests will cherish the opportunity of exploring and moving around the island. Once being a family home, our goal at Villa Heōra is to treat our visitors as our guests, to create a relaxing and highly enjoyable holiday experience and hopefully allow them to create their own unforgettable memories.
