134 square meters of traditional cave house - 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, spread over 3 levels of 100 square meters of private terraces. At Oia's heart - incredible volcano, caldera & all year round sunset views, easy access, and remarkable privacy - just breathtaking!

The traditional cave home style of the villa is complemented by antique Santorini furniture and natural fabrics. Opening off the well-equipped kitchen and framing the view of the caldera, our unique dining loggia maysoon become your favourite room in the house. There are 3 ensuite bedrooms, two on the main level, and one with a separate entrance off the intermediate terrace. The space and privacy our villa offers, along with the infinity plunge pool, light-filled rooms, the uninterrupted caldera views and central location, place it in a category of its own.

As we are at the top of the village, access to our property is remarkably easy. There are hardly any steps to reach us, although there are steps in between the levels of the villa. However, we can arrange a porter service for you baggage if needed.

Furthermore, the bus station is 10 minutes walk away, and the nearest car park is only 40 metres from our door.

The villa includes a landline phone with free calls to landlines throughout Greece. You will be able to call us anytime you need advice, and we also provide detailed information about Oia and Santorini, and recommendations of things to do. A variety of drinks and snacks await you in the complimentary welcome basket and coffee, tea, etc are replenished daily.

Daily housekeeping is also included.

By the Mill is available to rent throughout the year and is well equipped for the cooler months, with heating, warm duvets and the ever present caldera and sunset view, 12 months of the year.

Air conditioning, umbrellas and shady tents ensure you are protected from the heat in the summer months, and the temperature of the plunge pool can be adjusted to suit your preference.

Oia is the jewel of Santorini, one of the most beautiful islands in the world. Apart from the amazing caldera and volcano views, 'by the mill' has the added bonus of year round full sunset viewing from the privacy of our 3 spacious terraces. You are within minutes walk of Oia's wonderful restaurants and numerous boutiques, or take the steps down for a swim in Ammoudi bay, visible from our villa, and enjoy some barbecued fish for lunch.

    The views and the location were outstandingAll three couples had a very comfortable room and we very much appreciated the toiletries provided.Also, so nice that coffee ,wine, and a gift basket of snacks was waiting for us.Cleaning service every day to make our beds and freshing up our towelsThe pool was refreshing after a hot day of touring, and we could view the whole Caldera sitting in the pool.Many amazing restaurants within walking distanceAnd we did also enjoy the early morning visits from the neighbourhood cats! Would definitely recommend this amazing VRBO to anyone visiting Santorini.

    This is the ultimate villa stay in Santorini, a beautiful cave house with the best caldera and sunset view you could wish for. It's also quiet which can be hard to find in the heart of Oia, yet a 2 minute walk to the very heart of things. The host, Judith, is fantastic - nothing was too much trouble, she was so helpful but completely unobtrusive. We will definitely be back, we loved it!

    A private paradise, tucked away from the hustle bustle of Oia. Our every need was provided for. Sweet and helpful Alma cleaned to perfection daily and Panos, the groundskeeper kept the pool at the perfect temperature and crystal clear. The refrigerator stopped working and was replaced with a new one within hours of reporting. Thank you Judith for a dream come true… can’t recommend “by the mill” enough!

    We had 3 couples stay for 3 nights at this property. Judith was easy to work with and communicate with before our arrival. She scheduled transfers both from the port when we arrived and to the airport when we had to depart. The property itself is exactly what you see in the description. Everything you need is right there on site. We loved relaxing in the plunge pool during the day as it was very warm when we were there. The views are incredible and the sunsets are spectacular. Location is perfect for getting to everything you want to get to in Oia. Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a place on Santorini.

    This villa is perfect for a stay in Oia. The views are unparalleled and it is in the perfect location. The host was instrumental in helping to arrange transport and activities for us as well as providing excellent recommendations, and helping with any questions or concerns. Highly recommend for a terrific Santorini experience.

    stayed 3 nights and everything was great. View, location, and villa were tremendous. Had three couples, each having their own bath. Went to two restaurants and a private sealing trip recommended by hostess Judith - all were great.

    It's impossible to describe the ten days we spent here and do it justice! Our private, beautiful, comfortable villa had its own perfect sunset view (without any need to go further than the private plunge pool or the deck) and we had everything we needed or requested from the owner and her amazing family of support during our entire stay. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't spend your whole Greece vacation on Santorini. Just tell them you're staying By the Mill!
