Historic Residence

This residence provides the rare opportunity of staying in a private property that combines luxury and privacy with historic authenticity. Erected on the site of an older palazzo owned by a local family for centuries, it is positioned in an iconic location. Set in the highest part of Fira, the capital of Santorini, it boasts a spectacular view of the famous Caldera and much-admired Santorini volcano. The complex is divided into two and provides autonomy for each adjacent resident, although the pair are linked via outdoor terraces. Architecturally, the residence was built in a beautiful neoclassical style that follows the form of the older house, which suffered damages in the earthquake of 1956. Domes, arches, thick walls and vaulted roofs compose the distinguished geometry of the building in keeping with the original property in all its glory. Decorated in an elegant mood, accompanied by some antique furniture from the older house and featuring a significant collection of authentic gravures of old maps of Santorini, this genuine gem is a holiday home like no other.
