ExteriorDescription

Situated in the unspoiled village of Mesa Gonia (designated a 'traditional settlement' by the European Union) which is located just 15 minutes by car from the capital of Fira and just 5 minutes from the beautiful, black, sandy beach of Camari and a myriad of restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops. The villa's elevated and serene setting provides both privacy and a sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of a resort or hotel. A holiday here affords the visitor a unique insight into life on the island 50 years ago, and the opportunity to experience the magic and tranquility of traditional Greek island village life. The villa (available May 1- October 15) is easily accessible by car (taxi) via a short unpaved road leading up from the main road of the village with parking at your back door. The property is estimated to be 300-400 years old and consists of two separate units: The main house (190 m2) has an expansive terrace (100 m2) and a secluded back patio (30 m2). Adjacent to the house is a charming 3-room studio created from the ruins of the ancient village bakery, available only in conjunction with the Main House. The unique architectural style of Santorini has been preserved in both the interior and exterior with both patios offering great views of the village, the Aegean, and the mountain.
