A unique architectural project! A place made with respect to tradition and a special care for your wellbeing in Santorini!

The whole renovation effort was based on the notion of “inserting” a new use (vacation housing) in the old structure while maintaining the spatial qualities of the original architecture. It was a challenging construction project, implemented by its current owner and architect Babis Chiotis with the scope to provide luxury amenities and touches for our guests with the least possible interference to this ancient and traditional structure.
The villas’ revolutionary architecture and interior design embraces space and exudes style, with floors of smooth poured concrete, mosaic from Santorini’s beach black stones and walls crafted from the rocks of the mountain which is laying on the back of the villas. Fierce rocks emerge from the wall, while impressive ceiling vaults revealing the true nature of Santorini in its magnitude. Domes, arches, thick walls, small windows compose the distinguished vernacular complex geometry and form of the building. The morphology and the overall vernacular architecture of the building creates a challenging place to work on and compose an overall experience for vacation living with a unique combination of local and contemporary characteristics.

A traditional industrial Canava of 200sq.m has been completely renewed and transformed into three comfortable villas, combined with modern touches and amenities. The Canava was originally designed and operated in the past for the production of wine and tsipouro. Santorini is world renowned for its singular wine production, thanks to the distinctive weather conditions and the soil quality, the minimum humidity and rainfall throughout the year and the meticulous wine ageing in these special caves. The basic spatial organization of the building was based on the production and storage of wine. Specifically, the basic organizational type was made up of spaces for stepping on the grapes that are attached next to an extra-long space where the wine was stored in barrels.

The Canava Villa #1 comes with a master bedroom, providing a king size bed, which is positioned on the upper floor for optimal privacy. Artfully concealed is the ensuite bathroom, with a complete luxury shower-room providing steaming functions (hammam) and hydromassage. Also, you have your own small dressing room “on the rocks”. A bathtub overlooking the full space can help you letting the steam off and enjoying a relaxing time of your vacay; you can fill it in with water of your preferred temperature!
