The house
Perched atop a hill in Pyrgos, the highest village of Santorini, this historic luxury holiday villa rental boasts a prime location, just steps away from magical streets, restaurants, and charming boutiques, and only a 9-minute drive from the closest beach. The standout features of this property include a heated cave pool, an outdoor hot tub, and several terraces with breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea. This home is a meticulously restored 19th-century gem and is a member of Historic Hotels of Europe.
