Faithful
to the tradition of Santorini's unique architecture, our family has
restored a group of 300 year- old caves that were once the homes,
wineries and stables of indigenous fishermen and farmers. With the
help of native craftsmen and using volcanic raw material, this historical
setting has been transformed into an AŽ Class complex of 17 private
houses, reviving an age-old neighborhood called Perivolas.
The complex is set within an amphitheatrical landscape
of curves stepping down to a central stone terrace with a pool that
flows over the edge of the cliff into an Aegean horizon. Next to the
pool, an old winery is reborn as an indoor cafe and a poolside bar.
Perivolas encompasses 14.000 square meters of vineyards,
wild fig trees, beds of red-hot geraniums, orange cactus flowers and
fuchsia bougainvillea, enhancing our guests' privacy and tranquility.
The meditative silence is enriched with the sound of bells tolling
from the nearby blue-domed church, waves lapping on the volcanic shore
and the gentle purring of a fishing boat as it glides across the caldera. |
