Nestled within a historic building complex dating back to 1896, Villa Gray embodies traditional Santorinian architecture influenced by the island's Ottoman heritage. Reflecting a bygone era, the complex harmoniously blends low-lying canavas (wine storage areas) with elevated living quarters, showcasing intricate arches as the cornerstone of its design. Despite its historic roots, the complex seamlessly integrates modern conveniences, including access to water stored in its basement and a verdant plot for cultivating fresh produce like tomatoes, fava beans, and grapes—enclosed within ancient stone walls that stand as testaments to the island's rich history.
Situated in Pyrgos, a historic village that once served as the island's capital, the complex was once home to a prominent merchant family renowned for their wine production, housed within the canava section that remains impeccably preserved to this day. Despite enduring the ravages of the 1956 earthquake, the complex persevered, undergoing meticulous restoration in 2010 by the esteemed "4-19 Architects" to marry contemporary luxury with its storied past.
Santorini beckons with its world-renowned crimson sunsets, dramatic caldera vistas, and rich cultural heritage. Explore ancient marvels like the prehistoric settlement of Akrotiri and the ruins of Ancient Thera, or unwind on the volcanic shores of Kamari, Perivolos, and Perissa. Indulge in the island's culinary delights and savor a glass of Vinsanto wine as you toast to Santorini's unparalleled beauty against the backdrop of its legendary sunset.
Embark on a journey of discovery and enchantment in Santorini—an island brimming with natural wonders, cultural treasures, and timeless allure.
