This 17th century
‘canava’ –cave house is furnished to a high standard in the traditional
style of the Cycladic islands. Approached via an intimate and inviting
courtyard, one enters a vast living area complete with high vaulted ceilings
in the traditional Santorinian style. The dining room is serviced by a well
equipped galley-style kitchen.
A hand-made, stain glass door
leads to the master bedroom with a large, circular King-size bed, cool white
walls and an Italian tiled floor. Accommodated within this bedroom is a
large Jacuzzi set with mosaic glass tiles. The en-suite bathroom has all the
modern amenities, including a large overhead shower and a hand-made marble
basin.
A curved staircase leads from
the open-plan living area to a mezzanine floor with a double bed. A moon
shaped window gives an exceptional and romantic view of the Caldera.
The third double bedroom-or
suite- has a private seating area with a fire place and is reached both by a
separate entrance from the courtyard and an internal door leading to the
main living space. There is a small kitchenette and a mini-bar. The bathroom
is spectacular with its large circular bath, with an overhead shower and a
recessed hand-made ceramic gold-leaf basin.
