Luxury Imerovigli villa in breathtaking setting

This luxury villa has been meticulously refurbished by its architect owner to create a minimalist and contemporary home whilst maintaining the elements and spirit of its original architecture. The house is characterized by the soft Aegean light pouring in through its numerous French doors and large bay windows allowing sea views from almost all rooms. The materials, furnishings and appliances of the house have been carefully chosen and designed. The core of the villa is composed by the spacious and stylish living and dining room area. The living room with its imposing cross-vaulted ceiling has been furnished in a sleek and modern manner in order to create absolute comfort whereas the focus of the dining room is the unique and seemingly endless oak table equally suited to dining, leisure and work. The modern kitchen combines clean lines with maximum functionality. It has views both to the garden and the sea and is connected to the airy breakfast lounge with access to the courtyard.


The garden: The south facing garden is an oasis in its own right with olive and bougainvillea trees encircling the inviting swimming pool. This space provides ample opportunities for both relaxing by the pool and entertaining by the generous and sun-sheltered garden table.

The terraces: From the garden, stone steps lead to the mansion’s roof terraces offering unparalleled 360 degree views of the island and the surrounding Cycladic archipelago. At sunset, the terrace lounge area provides an ideal setting for the aperitivo hour - before hitting the local night scene.

Beautiful Villa

The villa was beautiful and a lot bigger than it looked on the website. Communication was excellent, the villa was clean and well equipped. Shops and restaurants nearby. My daughters felt the beds in the basement were a bit uncomfortable and the bathroom being so far away was a bit inconvenient. Apart from that, it was a perfect stay.

Wonderful stay!

This property was hard to leave because the stay was so nice. The villa is beautiful, the courtyard and pool were the perfect size for our family. Lots of great restaurants within walking distance. Easy walking distance to Fira. My children loved having different rooms to hangout in. Having the windows open, according to instructions kept the house cool with a nice breeze. It felt like we lived in Santorini. The house manager was very responsive, and the driver that we used through the property manager took us wherever we wanted to go, and made us feel incredibly safe. We would absolutely stay here again.

Spacious villa in a great location

The property manager and host were great and easily accessible if we had any questions or concerns. The host, Johan, was also great at providing recommendations for our group while on the island! The house had plenty of room for our group of 6 people and was perfectly located near town.

Beautiful and Spacious Santorini Home

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 nights in Santorini as 3 adult couples. It was a very large unit so we could enjoy each others company but also have privacy. Johan and Eleni were incredibly nice and accommodating. Johan is super responsive. We would love to return.

This is such a beautiful and spacious house in a great location in Imerovigli. Our family had plenty of room to spread out and get comfortable. The kids had fun in the pool and we enjoyed watching sunrises on the rooftop. We hope to stay here again when we return to Santorini!

..Lovely Villa but be aware..

Overall the villa is wonderful. Artfully done, mimimalist arresting decor with a kitchen ample for cooking. The host is very communicative and both Eleni (cleaner) and Kostas (pool man) were wonderful. The only issues I think prospective guests should be aware of are these. The third bedroom (without A/C) is down very steep stairs from the kitchen wing of the house. The third bathroom, though large is on the other side of the villa and down another steep flight of stairs. The main floor bathroom is miniscule with inadequate lighting. All that being said, it is a lovely place and Eleni came twice during the week we were there to change the linens and clean. I just think, in full disclosure, guests should be aware of the issues mentioned before determining whether to book. Stairs are definitely an issue.

Wonderful stay in a perfect villa

Beautiful villa, spotlessly clean and well maintained. We chose the right area, not too busy but with plenty of restaurants to choose from and a local store for supplies. The walk into Fira was the most photogenic we’ve ever experienced with dramatic views at every turn. A wonderful short break on a truly unique island.

Fabulous home base to explore Santorini

The property is even more beautiful than it appears in the pictures. Thick white walls that glowed pink with the sunrise. So much character and everything is well-appointed. The owners/care takers made everything seamless. We never needed the air conditioners (although it was mild June weather). The hot water is a bit limited but it was okay if you didn’t take super long showers. I think there is a hot water backup but we didn’t need it. This area is a great alternative to the tourist-packed towns North and South of it. Would recommend using taxis and transfers rather than renting a car. Driving here is a bit intense. Would recommend walking towards the sea or walking out to the big rock to see the sunset as the rooftop is better for sunrises than sunsets. Or book a table for the tasting menu at Four Senses for a sunset dinner.

Perfect stay

We stayed for a week at Johan’s property in early June. The location is footsteps from the Caldera cliff tops in Imerovigli, yet in a quiet area of town so superb for whatever your needs. We made the daily walk along the coastal path into Fira a must. It doesn’t matter how many times you see the views, just takes your breath away. The property is exceptionally well presented. Has to be one of the best we’ve been fortunate to visit. Everything you could possibly need and more. We particularly liked the attention to detail, really well thought out to help you relax. The split level roof terraces are stunning and we found it was a battle to decide between this and the pool courtyard. You get the sun all day. It’s truly a beautiful home, trust me you won’t want to leave! Our hosts Johan, Eleni and Kostas ensured that our stay was managed so professionally and courteously, they were very kind. It’s the little things that make such a difference and you take such care in ensuring we had a lovely stay. Thank you. Fira is a fun place to hang out whether it’s a morning, afternoon or evening. It feels perfectly safe, generally packed full of cruise ship visitors, which gives the place a buzz, yet you don’t struggle to find a bar or restaurant to cater for most budgets, just seems to work well. I don’t doubt it’s different in peak season. We hope to return one day.

Incredible property!

Host was extremely responsive and welcoming giving a personalized tour once we arrived. The property is so spacious and spotless. The town is in a great spot - quick Uber or taxi to either Fira or Oia but you get incredible sunset views (and views in general) right from the property or even better a few steps away. Nearby small store for snacks, drinks, etc as well as a few restaurants. Don’t hesitate to book this place!

Out family of five absolutely loved this beautifully decorated, renovated and spacious villa. The courtyard is adorable, the views from the rooftop terrace and upstairs- stunning! The location is central, yet quiet! Great restaurants with the famous Santorini sunsets nearby and a famous landmark is just around the corner. Last but not least, the hosts were absolutely wonderful - prompt communication, airport transfer booking, sightseeing and restaurant recommendations! We couldn’t be happier and would most definitely recommend to friends and family! Can’t wait to return hopefully soon!

Comfort and Relaxation

The villa is the perfect environment to relax and enjoy the beauty of Santorini. The location in Imerovigli is a short walking distance to markets, restaurants, shops, transportation and sunset views. The villa is a stunning design, well equipped with modern conveniences. It was the perfect way for six friends to unwind after a fast paced two week tour of Greece. We enjoyed breakfast in the serene garden and planned the day’s activities. The pool was a perfect way to cool down in the afternoon sun. Johan was a wonderful host and was very responsive to my questions. Eleni greeted us and made our stay comfortable in every way. I highly recommend the villa, and look forward to returning.

Beautiful property situated in what is considered to be the most beautiful town In Santorini. Great restaurants within walking distance. Water and land activities abound. Rustic, rugged beauty everywhere. Very considerate and responsive owner. The people of Santorini very friendly and eager to help. Our friends as well as ourselves were extremely happy with the well appointed home. The rooftop views were spectacular both at sunrise and sunset. Hope to return to this gem in the Aegean.

Privacy is hard to come by in Santorini so the courtyard and pool were special and welcome. The house was comfortable and beautifully furnished, the location in the square fantastic.

Would stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend if you want easy access to Fira and Oia but a quiet place to relax after sightseeing.

Felt like we baked in an oven all week

This is the first negative review I have left on VRBO after many years of staying in lots of different places in many different countries. However, our week here was not good, and I don’t want others to come here and have the same experience. This home is not designed to handle to the July heat. The home only has AC in two bedrooms, and neither of them work to truly make the rooms feel cool because the rest of the house is so hot. The rest of the home has no AC, and it is a miserable experience. It was so hot we never even cooked a meal here. According to the many locals we did excursions with each day, many days there are no breezes in July, and this is why opening the windows was no help most of the time. The house was almost always hotter inside than outside despite leaving windows open at night, etc. We tried everything. The 2nd story was unbearable as the heat rises...even the basement where the 2 twin beds are located was hot. It was so hot our 15 year old son and 17 year old daughter ended up sharing the main level queen bedroom with AC. If you have teens, you know they do everything possible to have their own space, but these were extreme circumstances. The home is situated at the very top of a hill where the sun beats down on the house all day, and there is no shade at all. You will not be lounging on the rooftop, and you will not want to sit in the courtyard on July days. Many days, we took cold showers just trying to cool down from being out on the island and having to return to a hot house. We booked 6 nights and 7 days here (way too long to stay in Santorini), and we were hoping to have days to just rest. Instead, we needed up booking an excursion for everyday except one to try to just stay away from the hot house. The owner did bring fans after I sent a message saying we needed to find different accommodations due to heat. Go rent something with AC throughout the home and with amazing views of the Caldera. It is a must for summer heat. We absolutely cannot recommend this house for summer months. Our teenagers said they wanted a shirt that says, “We survived Santorini.”

Oasis in Imerovigli

This property was an oasis from the crowds and tourists in Santorini during peak season of summer. The villa is architecturally pleasing, understatedly elegant, and perfectly located. You can walk to coffee each morning, the local market, and are literally steps away from the most glorious sunsets ever. Down the block is an absolutely breathtaking view of Skaros rock! Johan was the perfect host, arranging airport transits, and responding quickly to any question. If you want the sights of Santorini yet serenity and privacy, this villa is the perfect locale.
