Hephaestus' Haven

Hephaestus' Haven: Santorini

This unique villa on the Greek island of Santorini is located in Firostefani village known as the most beautiful secret of Santorini’s Caldera. Despite its quiet and private setting, the home is only a two-minute walk from Firostefani Central Square, which offers a variety of restaurants and cafes perfect for traditional Greek meals, as well as a great view of the caldera cliff-side while you eat.

Slightly further away from the villa (but still within easy walking distance), you can reach Fira Town where you can visit The Museum of Prehistoric Thira, displaying artefacts from the destroyed Bronze Age settlement of Akrotiri, ride the Santorini cable car down to Skala for some truly amazing views, or see the Three Bells of Fira with its iconic, blue-domed church.

Spend relaxing hours back at the villa, lounging in the Mediterranean sunshine before plunging into the cool water of your private infinity pool. As you swim to the water’s edge and overlook the Aegean Sea, you will also be provided with a panoramic view of the island’s volcano. As the sun sets, we would love nothing more than to be sitting on the terrace beside the pool, sipping wine from the welcome hamper, and watching the colours of the sky reflected in the ocean, as the sun sinks behind the volcano, and disappears below the horizon.
