Luxury Villas in Santorini

Luxury villas in Santorini with their private pools and stunning volcano views, exemplify the ultimate romantic vacation experience. Why Santorini? There are so many amazing places in this world to see, that normally, when I’m vacationing, I rarely double back and visit one city or Island twice. I have now vacationed, on three separate occasions, on the Greek Island of Santorini. 

Perched on the rim of an active volcano, Santorini is just perfect for romantic getaways! It truly feels like a little slice of heaven on earth. 

This article highlights luxury villas in various towns around the island of Santorini’s, including Santorini’s capital–the popular town of Fira. Even though Fira can be rife with tourists at times, it never spoils the experience for me. You still feel compelled to linger in the restaurants or cafes and watch the ships come into the harbor. I love Fira’s vibrancy and welcoming aura. That’s why the first luxury villa in Santorini that I’m highlighting—Archipelago House– is located in lovely Fira.

Archipelago House

The Archipelago house is located in a historic area of Fira. It sits atop the highest point of the island and has a breathtaking view of the famous caldera and the Santorini volcano.


This unique villa, built in the neoclassical style, combines luxury, privacy, and authenticity. Its splendid architecture boasts thick walls, arches, domes, and vaulted roofs. The interior design is modern and elegant with a few antique pieces. Art buffs will appreciate the collection of authentic gravures depicting old maps and various other aspects of Santorini. In addition, there are a number of contemporary paintings in the collection.


Between the 3 bedrooms in the main house and the bedroom in the guest studio this villa comfortably sleeps at least 8 people. There are 2 bedrooms with queen beds and ensuite bathrooms on the ground floor. The master bedroom has vaulted ceilings and a proper queen bed, while the second bedroom has two twins configured as a queen. The third bedroom is upstairs and has a great view of the volcano. This bedroom also has two twins that can be configured as a queen bed. While we love the vaulted ceiling in the master bedroom and the cross-vaulted high ceilings in the living room and the dining room, we are even more impressed by the views and the outdoor spaces at this villa.
The comfortably chic living room boasts a marble fireplace and a unique view of the Santorini Caldera. The living room sits adjacent to the lovely dining area that has a gold-plated mirror and an original Venetian chandelier that overlooks a medieval Spanish-style wooden dining set.

 
Another amazing view will captivate you as soon as you step outside and into what feels like a painting. Plunge into the heated outdoor jacuzzi and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. Take in the blue sky, sunshine, hibiscus, oleander and bougainvillea, while you enjoy the outdoor amenities at this villa. soak in the sun on the terrace relaxing in teak chaises-lounge, built-in benches or the cushy seating around wooden tables. Or retreat to the shade beneath pergolas or sun umbrellas. Dine al fresco around the polished cement table that seats up to 10 guests

Villa Mousai

The pictures you’ve seen of Santorini featuring beautiful white- washed blue domed churches were most likely taken in the village of Oia. Like Fira, Oia is situated high on a top of a cliff overlooking the sea, but with cave houses and restaurants built into the cliff’s edge.
