Introducing Villa Byzantine, an exquisite sanctuary in Santorini that pays homage to the island's captivating Byzantine period. This remarkable 1-bedroom villa, situated in Emporeio, presents an enchanting retreat for up to 3 guests, complete with a private pool.
Immersed in the legacy of Santorini's Byzantine era, Villa Byzantine draws its name from the time when the island embraced the Christian faith and witnessed the appointment of a bishop who organized the Christian Church. The villa itself is a stunning example of traditional stone architecture, spanning 43.20 m².
Inside, you'll discover a harmonious blend of a living area and a sleeping space, adorned with a beautiful canopy bed. The villa also features a spacious private bathroom and a separate compact kitchen. Accessible via an indoor staircase, a cozy loft houses an additional single bed. Moreover, the ground floor is thoughtfully designed to cater to individuals with disabilities, ensuring everyone can experience the villa's allure.

The villa proudly welcomes all types of guests and offers additional facilities to cater to those with disabilities, enabling them to relish a delightful holiday experience on our picturesque island.
As part of a cluster of five luxurious traditional houses, each boasting its own private pool and terrace, Byzantine Villa finds its place within the preserved settlement of Emporio village. These exceptional homes draw inspiration from significant periods in Santorini's history, with each house named accordingly.
Perfectly positioned on the eastern side of the settlement's hill, these villas provide an oasis of tranquility and relaxation in an authentic environment unspoiled by mass tourism. They sit side by side on various levels, gracefully cascading down the slope of the hill, offering breathtaking panoramic vistas of the preserved settlement (Kasteli) and the sparkling sea. With their tall exterior walls, the villas ensure utmost privacy, while modern amenities guarantee an idyllic and rejuvenating atmosphere.
Originally constructed in the early 20th century, these five stone-built houses have undergone meticulous renovation and restoration over the past 17 years. Every detail has been carefully attended to, honoring the traditional and distinctive techniques employed by local craftsmen.
Preserving the architectural integrity and original elements of the houses has been paramount in creating an authentic accommodation experience for our cherished guests. Each house is named after a specific era in Santorini's history, further immersing visitors in the island's captivating narrative.
The interior furnishings and decor showcase extraordinary value, featuring original handmade pieces that have withstood the test of time, spanning decades and even centuries. Every element within these homes carries its own remarkable history, adding to the charm and allure of the space.
Operating on an eco-friendly model, the cluster employs environmentally conscious construction materials, traditional air-conditioning systems, and recycling practices. Additionally, we offer a curated list of creative activities based on alternative tourism, allowing guests to embrace the authentic essence of Santorini.
Villa Byzantine is a testament to the rich history and unique spirit of Santorini Island, encapsulating precious moments from its vibrant past.
