Villa Thira is part of a cluster of six luxurious traditional houses, each boasting a private pool and terrace. Located in the well-preserved settlement of Emporio village in Santorini, the names of these houses draw inspiration from significant periods in the island's history.
Nestled on the eastern side of the settlement's hill, these villas offer a serene and authentic atmosphere unspoiled by mass tourism. Positioned on varying levels along the slope of a hill, the houses provide panoramic views of the preserved settlement (Kasteli) and the sparkling sea. Guests' privacy is safeguarded by towering outdoor walls, while contemporary amenities ensure an ideal setting for relaxation.
Dating back to the early 20th century, the five stone-built houses have undergone meticulous renovations and restorations over the past 17 years, meticulously preserving their architectural character and incorporating the unique craftsmanship of local artisans. The result is an authentic accommodation experience that honors Santorini's history. Each house is bestowed with a distinct name, representing a specific period of Santorini's captivating past.
Within the houses, guests will discover an array of valuable and original handmade furnishings and artifacts, some dating back decades or even centuries. Each item holds its own fascinating story, weaving together the tapestry of Santorini's heritage.
Embracing an eco-friendly ethos, the cluster adheres to sustainable construction practices, employing environmentally conscious materials and utilizing traditional air-conditioning systems. Recycling amenities are also part of our commitment to responsible tourism. To enhance guests' experience of the real Santorini, we offer a curated list of creative activities based on alternative tourism, showcasing the island's authentic side.
Villa Thira has successfully captured the essence of Santorini's rich history and unique spirit, offering guests a remarkable journey through time on this enchanting island.
