Its prime location offers excellent access from three directions, without steps, from the main cobbled path, central village square and nearby parking spaces at less than 60 meters. The property is a partly restored, partly rebuilt and reformed complex of authentic 1800’s cavehouses, transformed into a traditional hotel in the 1990’s, maintaining the original characteristic Santorinian architecture of the former mansion with few additions of new spaces.

All apartments have large private verandas.

It can be profitably operated as a hotel or villa complex, or it can be enjoyed as a spacious private villa. In regards to the property as a business investment: This property currently holds a 4 Star Hotel license under the category of furnished apartments, for 7 Apartments housing a total of 20 persons. This license can be easily updated to reflect the 8 units currently being developed. Following a brief restoration and renovation in parts of the property between 2006 -2009, our company has since 2014 began an in depth redevelopment plan that sees not only a dedicated full restoration, but a significant upgrade of the property as a whole.
Parts of this plan have already been completed and we are currently underway with the continuation of works, with all necessary permits for current works issued. According to this plan, a new hotel license will be issued to replace the former active license at the completion of our redevelopment project. The new license will reflect the full capacity of the property from previously 7 apartments to 8, housing comfortably 28 -30 persons.
