EROSANTORINI is a 'nowhere-else-in-the-world' private
two-acre estate, an extraordinary cliff-perched place to take in the
breathtaking views, stunning sunsets, and idyllic scenery.
It is designed for a
select few with discerning taste who are seeking the best qualities of a luxury
resort, a spectacular private villa, and the intimacy and sophistication of a
luxurious private home.
Location
The secluded setting, 1000 feet above the sea, is pure
drama. The two-acre plot enjoys total privacy – the ultimate luxury on
Santorini, where most cliffside suites are packed cheek by jowl. You could laze
by the angular infinity pool all day, watching clouds and cruise ships drift
by, until sunset bleeds into the horizon.
Santorini’s cosmopolitan capital, Fira, is just over a mile
(two kilometes) away. Postcard-pretty Oia is a precipitous nine-mile (14 km)
drive. Transfers to the port (five miles/eight kilometres) or airport (three
miles/five kilometres) are included in your stay.
Style & Character
Timeless design lets the mind-blowing views take centre
stage. The black, white, and grey palette and cubist structures reflect the
stark landscape and vernacular architecture, but the vibe is anything but
traditional. Italian designer Paola Navone has stamped the property with her
bold, joyful style: ‘kilims’ whitewashed onto the terrace, cow-print bathrooms,
and mirrored headboards made from salvaged windows.
Service & Facilities
A cross between a five-star hotel and a fully-staffed villa,
Erosantorini is run by passionate insiders who have a knack for anticipating
your needs — an iced tea while you snooze on a floating sun-bed, a cashmere
throw at dusk, shrimp souvlaki as you watch a movie by moonlight. Days slip by
in a blissful haze of sun salutations with transcendental views, an Ayurvedic
massage in the graceful spa, alfresco feasts using ingredients from the organic
garden. If you can bear to venture out, these guys will show you the real
Santorini — private wine tastings, tours with a local archaeologist, a
catamaran cruise to hot springs.
Rooms
Four standalone bungalows provide flexible accommodation for
up to 14 guests (10 adults and four children). Suites with oversized day beds,
outdoor showers, and plunge pools blend inside and out with a lightness of
touch. Heated floors, floating fireplaces, and hot tubs make this a very cosy
off-season destination, too. Marble and concrete bathrooms come with charcoal
soap, aloe vera after-sun, and bathrobes as downy as duvets. There are standard
luxuries (Nespresso machines, Frette bedlinen) plus wow-factor extras (Smeg
minibars, Bluetooth speakers).
Food & Drink
Chef Dimitris Panagiotopoulos honed his skills at Milos and
two-Michelin-starred Vissani. Meals are served at a communal table by the
barbeque and outdoor oven, so you can always see what’s cooking. The
daily-changing menu, designed around guests’ tastes, showcases the local and
seasonal: feta and white aubergine frittata, cherry tomato paste on just-baked
bread, grilled fish drizzled with house-made olive oil. Santorini produces
phenomenal wines and the cellar brims with exceptional Assyrtiko and Vinsanto.
Family-friendly?
Unlike most places on Santorini, you don’t have to navigate
dozens of stairs, so it’s great for babies and toddlers (though there are sheer
drops around the pool.) Travel cots, changing mats, baby baths, high chairs,
bottle sterilizers and warmers are provided. Teenagers will love the outdoor
cinema and underwater sound system. All children receive age-appropriate toys,
games, books, movies, mini robes and slippers. Cooking lessons and craft
sessions can be arranged.
INCLUSIVE RATES (FOR UP TO TEN ADULT GUESTS AND FOUR
CHILDREN)*
Rates range between 5.000 Euros and 18.000 Euros
(approximately $7,000 USD – $22,000 USD) per night depending on season of
