Situated in the heart of Pyrgos, Santorini's highest village, Villa Castelli stands as a testament to the island's profound heritage and unwavering grace. As you step into this timeless abode, you are immediately immersed in a narrative that echoes centuries of resilience and love, woven into every ancient stone and meticulously restored 19th-century treasure.

Grounded in history, Villa Castelli invites you to embark on a journey through time, where the past is honoured and the present celebrated in equal measure. From the imposing architecture of the restored marvel on the ground floor to the refined elegance of the first floor, every corner whispers tales of Santorini's rich legacy.

The ground floor unfolds with grandeur, offering a serene oasis beneath the iconic Castelli. Here, the living and dining space exudes tranquillity, with a fireplace casting a comforting glow and a fully equipped kitchen boasting a traditional wood oven for an authentic touch. The grand master bedroom, adorned with noble handcrafted furnishings, beckons with its bronze double bed and private copper bath—a symbol of luxury and heritage.

Ascending to the first floor, you are greeted by a space that seamlessly blends tradition with sophistication. Belle Epoque Cycladic furniture adorns the living room, while the double room preserves its original stone walls, offering a window to the island's breathtaking vista.

Indoor living seamlessly transitions to outdoor splendour across Villa Castelli's terraces. Whether you seek tranquillity on the ground floor terrace, panoramic views on the first-floor terrace, or elevated serenity on the upper terrace, each space offers a captivating backdrop to moments of relaxation.

You can embrace the island's volcanic origins in the cave pool—a sanctuary nestled within Villa Castelli. This residence is more than a dwelling; it is a living legacy—a testament to passion, dedication, and a commitment to preserving Santorini's timeless elegance.

What you should know…

  • Unfortunately, there may be limited accessibility for individuals with mobility issues due to the village's hilly terrain and staircases within the property.
  • Whilst the property has been extensively renovated, you can still expect some of the quirks that come with older properties.  
  • Santa Croce is an historical villa reconstructed in compliance with traditional architectural standards; consequently, some areas may not be in conformity with contemporary security specifications (e.g. the height of some outside walls is 60 cm).
  • Children of all ages are welcome under the responsibility of their parents. The pool and the jacuzzi are not child-protected areas. Babysitting services can be arranged upon request.

Getting There

How to reach Santorini island

There are two ways to reach Santorini Island: either by flight or by ferry.

By plane: The airport of Santorini (JTR) is located in the region of Kamari that is 8 km far from Thira. Santorini island is one of the most popular Greek destinations, that is why many tourists arrive on the island with direct ferries from their country. Domestic flights are available too.

By ferry: The main port of Santorini is called Athinios (JTR) and is located 9 km outside of Thira. The trip from Piraeus can last from 5 hours (if you take a speed ferry) to 9 hours (if you prefer the conventional ferry). One more thing that you should keep in mind is that Santorini is connected through various routes to the most Cyclades islands. You can easily book your ferry tickets using the link below or the booking engine.
