Our favourite rooms
Blessed with hydro-massage plunge pools, Vino Houses’ three whitewashed villas are a masterclass in pared-down Cycladic architecture. If you’re travelling with a pack, each sleeps up to four on the plumpest of beds. They’re elegantly dressed with contemporary putty-coloured furnishings and a scattering of handpicked earthenware nodding to the island’s ancient past. If pressed, we’d opt for the Vinsanto villa, perfectly poised at the top of the complex for uninterrupted sea views and spectacular sunrises from the front patio.
Spa
There’s no spa as such, but staff will happily arrange in-room massages, manicures and pedicures by local therapists, as well as yoga classes should you want to work on your sun salutations.
Packing tips
Poolside lounging calls for carefree kaftans; bring flat sandals with a good grip for Oia’s central marble-paved street.
Also
The villa’s kitchenettes are kitted out with a full cooking station and a sink – everything you need to rustle up simple Mediterranean fare from the island’s sun-kissed produce. Vino Houses can organise a crash course in Greek cuisine.
Pet‐friendly
Small dogs are welcome, and can stay for free. See more pet-friendly hotels in Santorini.
Children
Welcome. Free cots, high chairs and toys can be requested, and babysitting arranged for €40 an hour.
Sustainability efforts
Vino Houses takes a holistic approach to treating our planet kindly. Much of the kitchen’s seasonal produce is grown in the garden, with any food waste going to the neighbours’ animals. Plastic and glass are recycled; wastewater is used to irrigate plants.
