Heartstrong Vino

Heartstrong Vino: Santorini

Step back in time in this renovated 19th-century winery, now a complex of three villas with a pool and rooftop seating. Each villa has its own living and sleeping areas, and while there aren't many windows, the traditional stone interiors and arched ceilings make this home stand out. Let home-cooked meals bring you together with the communal kitchen and dining room, and the option of eating alfresco by the pool. The enclosed courtyard makes it easy to keep an eye on children, and you're only a breezy stroll into the charming village of Emporio, where you'll find all manner of shops, tavernas, and friendly local life.

Home truths:
*This home is split into three separate homes, each with its own entrance, living area, bedroom and bathroom.
*The kitchen and dining area are in a separate building from the living and sleeping spaces.
*The kitchen is lacking some basic crockery, cooking utensils and spices, so it might not be the best choice if you're planning family meals in.
*Most of this complex is on a single level, but there are stairs leading up to the rooftop seating.
*The roof doesn't have high railings, so children should be supervised at all times here.
*Not all homes have doors between their bedroom and living spaces, so don't expect privacy within each home.
*The pool is unfenced, so children should be supervised at all times.
