Description

Cave Villa for sale in Santorini. This exceptional property is a traditional Cycladic cave villa composed of three independent, adjoining cave residences, each with its own distinct character. All three are arranged around a private, enclosed courtyard, designed to resemble an old Greek neighborhood, with pebbled flooring and a striking waterfall-style jacuzzi carved into the rock—half sculpted into the earth and half revealed at courtyard level. It is undeniably the focal point of the outdoor space. The courtyard also features a large dining table with chairs, two generous wooden benches, and café-style tables and seating, creating an atmosphere ideal for enjoying the sun, the stars, summer breezes, or even light rain—at any hour, day or night. A second level of the outdoor area leads to an open rooftop terrace, offering breathtaking views over the Aegean Sea. The villa unfolds across three cave dwellings of 42 sq.m., 23 sq.m., and 85 sq.m., respectively. This is a rare architectural composition, rich in authentic Cycladic and cave-house elements, blending tradition with refined, contemporary touches. First Cave Residence (42 sq.m.) Features a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy lounge area with a corner sofa that converts into a double bed, and small tables designed for relaxed gatherings. The same space includes a minimal bathroom with a walk-in shower. A hidden highlight awaits here: an intimate Moroccan-inspired alcove with a heated barrel hot tub, designed for private, atmospheric relaxation. Second Cave Residence (23 sq.m.) Includes a bedroom with a double bed and a striking bathroom finished in gold tones, with thick rope elements used creatively as a curtain instead of a conventional door—an artistic and sensual detail. Third Cave Residence (85 sq.m.) The largest of the three, this residence offers a Moroccan-style bedroom with an extra-large double bed, a small kitchenette, and a secondary open-plan sleeping area with a double mattress (1.40 m × 2.00 m). It is completed by an exceptional, oversized bathroom featuring two walk-in showers, allowing couples to enjoy the space together. This cave stretches approximately 40–42 meters into the rock, creating a unique environment where temperature and light remain naturally stable—summer and winter, day and night dissolve into a timeless sense of calm. Set within the traditional village of Emporio (also known as Emporeio or Nimporio), the largest village on the island, this cave villa offers a rare combination of privacy, architectural authenticity, and tranquility. Carved directly into the volcanic rock, the property embodies a seamless dialogue between history and modern comfort, creating an atmosphere where time feels suspended.

Cave Villa for sale in Santorini Location Information: One of the most popular holiday destinations worldwide and the most visited of all the Greek islands, Santorini (or Thira), is one of the most magical places you’ve ever seen! Santorini is a world-famous volcanic island located in the southern part of the Cyclades group of islands in the Aegean Sea, in Greece. Great poets have sung its praises, a 4000-year-old history. The eternal rock continues to stand, strong and majestic, rising proudly from the sea and guarding well the secrets of Atlandis. Incredible sunsets, pearly white buildings adorned with bougainvillea, blue-domed churches, and picturesque windmills make Santorini a sought-after destination. This Greek paradise attracts visitors from around the globe eager to witness its famed sunsets of Oia, swim in hot springs, savor its cuisine, and indulge in luxurious resorts.
