Thetis - Four Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 8

Thira, Thira, Greece

An airy, light-filled contemporary villa with stunning sea views, an infinity pool, and a basketball court.brbrPerched in a fabulously panoramic position on the west coast of Tinos, Thetis is a luminous, warmly welcoming villa with much to fall in love with, not least the magnificent views. Whether you're waking up to another day in paradise, enjoying breakfast on the terrace, sipping a sunset aperitif, or dining late into the starry night, you'll constantly find yourself gazing out across the sparkling cobalt waters of the Aegean Sea.brbrInside: accommodation at Thetis is arrange over a main house on one floor and two externally accessed guest bedrooms.brbrThe main entrance leads into a hallway, off which one may access all the accommodation in the main house. To the right is the spacious, open-concept communal area, whose white walls and ceilings, polished dove grey concrete flooring, and white spotlights, are all design elements that recur throughout the property. A couple of contemporary artwork adds a splash of colour and the overall effect is one of tranquillity, minimalist order, light and grace.brbrTo one end of this space is a modern white kitchen, a wooden breakfast table and French doors leading out to the terraces, while to the other is a large, white, L-shaped sofa, a wooden coffee table, a TV, and 4.5m-wide sliding glass doors, which both frame the magnificent views and allow guests to enjoy a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle.brbrHeading back past the front door, a corridor leads to the bedrooms of the main house, which comprise:brbr• a double bedroom with sea views, terrace access and a shower room across the corridorbr• the spacious main bedroom, also a double, with a pair of armchairs, sea views, terrace access and an en-suite shower roombrbrThe two guest bedrooms are accessed from the main sea view terraces, just a few metres from the main house. Each one has a double bed, sea views and an en-suite shower room.brbrOutside: most al fresco life at Thetis plays out on the long polished concrete terrace, much of it shaded with cane-topped pergolas, that runs along the entire sea-facing side of the house. Accessed from all the rooms in the property, this space is an organic extension of the interiors, and there is plenty of room for lounging, dining, sunbathing and relaxing in style while gazing out at the sublime views.brbrImmediately outside the kitchen and dining area is the shady al fresco dining area, while between the living area and the external guest bedrooms is a recessed, secluded spot furnished with three well-cushioned built-in sofas.brbrThe two bedrooms in the main house have their own section of shaded terrace, while the externally accessed bedrooms share one.brbrA step down from the al fresco dining area is the lovely infinity pool, which, flanked on two sides by sunloungers, offers swimmers more of those splendid views out to sea.brbrWhere the concrete terraces end, the gardens begin, and these have been planted with low-lying aromatic shrubs, which also extend into the recessed space between the two bedrooms in the main house.brbrTo the side of the house, meanwhile, is a half-size, sea-view basketball court. This adds a whole new dimension to life at Thetis, offering opportunities for those who love to play a little sport while on holiday.brbrLast but not least, a path leads from the property down to a little pebbly beach. The 8-minute walk is well worth it.brbrThetis features a fantastic infinity pool, offering swimmers stunning views while in the pool. Please refer to our general safety page if you would like more information about infinity pools.brbrDue to the nature of this property, children must be supervised at all times.brbrWhen the ferry connections timetable is not yet published for your travel dates, we recommend choosing a flight arriving in Athens or Mykonos by midday or, alternatively, adding a night in Athens or Mykonos the day before and/or after your time in Tinos.brThetis is located just above the south coast of Tinos, between the beaches of Agios Fokas and Agios Sostis/Laouti, which are a 5- and 10-minute drive away respectively. Both have a few tavernas and cafés, and the latter also has a couple of minimarkets. Just below the house, less than 10 minutes' walk away, is a little beach. Other gorgeous beaches nearby include those of Agali and Agios Ioannis.brbrThe island’s capital, Tinos Town, is about 10 minutes’ drive away, and it is here that you will find a wider selection of amenities, from minimarkets and banks to petrol stations and chemists’. It’s a gentle place, with a weave of pretty streets, a good range of tavernas, and a bustling port. Arguably the star of the show is the church of Panagía Evangelístria, one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the Greek Orthodox world. Built in 1830 in florid renaissance style, it houses an icon of the Virgin Mary that is said to have performed numerous miracles. brbrMeasuring just 27km long and 13km wide, Tinos is easy to explore in a week or two. The west coast is a series of little coves, many of which have little sandy beaches, and a day or two exploring these by boat is highly recommended, also because some are difficult to access on foot or by car.brbrThe interior of Tinos is mountainous and home to a liberal scattering of pretty whitewashed villages just waiting to be explored. Many of these have their origins in Byzantine and Venetian times and it is no coincidence that they were all built at a safe distance from the sea. The rocky landscape is also home to numerous intricately designed dovecots and cylindrical windmills, both architectural traditions introduced by the Venetians, who ruled the island between the 13th and the early 18th century. brbrThe most northerly quarter of Tinos, after the lovely village of Pyrgos (Panormos) is largely uninhabited, but there is a curious profusion of churches and chapels. The simple roads that connect them are interesting to explore on foot or bike, and one really has the feeling of being off the beaten track.brbrThe highest point of the island is the mountain of Tsiknias, which stands at 750m, but arguably the most interesting peak is the jagged stone cone of Exomvourgo (641m). It was here that the Venetians built an impregnable fortress that was never vanquished, despite numerous attempts by Ottoman forces. It only fell into Ottoman hands in 1715, when the governor surrendered, an act of treachery that enraged La Serenissima so much that he was sentenced to life imprisonment on his return home.brbrLastly, if you wish to indulge in a little island-hopping, frequent ferry services connect Tinos Town to Mykonos. Crossings take just 22-35 minutes, meaning that it’s perfectly viable to go for a daytrip.brbrArrival details will be confirmed by The Thinking Traveller after your villa is confirmed.brbrThe Thinking Traveller can organise transfers and car hire and an agent will be in touch with you once your villa is confirmed.

Remvy - Five Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 10

Thira, Thira, Greece

A winning fusion of traditional Cycladic architecture and elegant modern touches at this villa with infinity pool and sea views.brbrJust a short walk from the gorgeous sandy beach of Agios Sostis and a couple of tavernas, Remvy offers beautifully crafted, characterful and versatile accommodation for large groups of family or friends. Generously spacious shady terraces abound, allowing guests to enjoy a carefree al fresco lifestyle to the full, while a sea-view infinity pool provides ample opportunities for fun, relaxation and joyous summery moments. brbrInside: accommodation at Remvy is laid out over a main house on two floors and one independent guesthouse in the grounds.brbrThe ground floor of the main house is given over to a spacious, open-concept living and dining area, which sets the scene for the property's overall design. Curvaceously edged, white walls with in-built niches and shelving seemingly sculpted in fondant icing rise to wood-beamed, cane-canopied ceilings, grey-framed windows bring in the light and the magical sea views, and classically comfortable furnishings blend harmoniously with antique wooden furniture. Most of the space is given over to a pair of easy chairs and a long sofa, to one side of which is a fireplace. To one side, ensconced in a niche looking out to sea, is the convivial dining table.brbrAn arched opening in local stone allows this space to flow into the uniquely styled, well-equipped kitchen.brbrAccommodation on the ground floor is completed by a guest WC and two bedrooms:brbr• a double with en-suite bathroom with overhead showerbr• a double-twin with an adjacent shower room and access to the delightfully secluded walled courtyard to the rear of the propertybrbrThe first floor, meanwhile, is home to two more bedrooms:brbr• the main bedroom, a spacious double with feature fireplace, walk-in closet, en-suite bathroom with tub and overhead shower, and a fabulously panoramic shaded sea-view terracebr• a double-twin bedroom with en-suite bathroom with tub and overhead shower, a balcony, and a living room with sofa bedbrbrThe guesthouse is accessed from the grounds and each comes with its own large shaded al fresco living area:brIt has a kitchen-diner and shower room ground floor and a double bedroom on the first floor.brbrOutside: al fresco life at Remvy is extremely well catered for, with numerous shady and sunny-kissed terraces for guests to choose from. Whether you're lounging, dining, sunbathing, or reposing with a book, there's a spot for every occasion, both for private moments and for convivial gatherings of your whole group.brbrTo the front of the main house is a series of shady terraces looking out to sea. Furnished for sitting and dining, these are ideal for get-togethers at the end of another fabulous day. Steps lead down to the wonderful pool area, which comes with a shady sitting area, a fabulous free-form infinity pool and a circular plunge pool.brbrBehind the main house is a dreamy, partially covered walled courtyard which offers a magically secluded environment in which to chat, recline with a book or take meals when the summer's meltemi wind blows.brbrPaths lead from the main house around the grounds and to the independent guesthouse.brbrRemvy features a fantastic infinity pool, offering swimmers stunning views while in the pool. There is a drop off the infinity side so we recommend children are supervised at all times. Please refer to our general safety page if you would like more information about infinity pools.brbrDue to the nature of the property including terraces low walls and several drops around the grounds, children must be supervised at all times.brbrThe number of steps that must be negotiated to get into and/or around this property might make it unsuitable for people with mobility problems.brRemvy is situated in the north of Mykonos, just 500m and 700m from the gorgeous sandy beaches of Agios Sostis and Panormos, both of which have tavernas nearby. brbrMykonos Town, with its vibrant, colourful and picturesque old centre is just 15 minutes away, and there's plenty to enjoy there, not least a great selection of tavernas, boutiques, cafés and bars.brbrSince it was “discovered” in the 1960s, Mykonos has become one of Greece’s most famous and cosmopolitan islands and one of the hippest destinations in Europe. It is beloved of fashionistas, celebrities and party-goers, but also attracts discerning travellers in search of a harmonious ambience in which to relax, unwind and have fun.brbrThe island is easily explorable in a week, and offers a vibrant beach life, a great many options for water sports, wonderful views, a fabulous variety of great restaurants, and a legendary party scene. With its many bays and coves, it is also a great destination for those who enjoy spending time messing about on boats, and we warmly recommend you rent one for a day or two to discover Mykonos's gorgeous coastline.brbrJust across the water is the sacred island of Delos, birthplace of Apollo and Artemis and one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece. Similarly close is the island of Tinos, so if island-hopping’s your thing, there are plenty of adventures awaiting you.brbrArrival details will be confirmed by The Thinking Traveller after your villa is confirmed.brbrThe Thinking Traveller can organise transfers and car hire and an agent will be in touch with you once your villa is confirmed.

Enyalos - Five Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 10

Thira, Thira, Greece

A ingeniously conceived contemporary sea-view villa with an inspiringly positioned infinity pool.brbrNestling into a rocky headland above the sea on the west coast of Tinos, Enyalos is very much at one with its habitat. Walls in local stone emerge discreetly, as if an ancient extension of the terrain, but step over the threshold and one enters a world of refined contemporary luxury. Imbued with a warm, mellow atmosphere, the expertly designed, beautifully appointed interiors offer serene living and a sensation of complete tranquillity.brbrInside: accommodation at Enyalos is spread over a main house and a guesthouse, both of which are on one level.brbrThe main house is laid out in the shape of a U oriented directly towards the sea. The communal areas sit at the base of the U and the bedrooms extend along the sides. brbrThe main house entrance leads into a generously proportioned open-concept communal space that has been finished to exacting standards. To the right is a sleek, well-equipped contemporary kitchen with matt black cabinetry, and an adjacent guest WC. In the centre is a dining table, and to the left is the living area, furnished with a pair of designer sofas and featuring a stylish fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases. brbrThe design elements of this space are many, and their combined effect is ravishing: dark hard-wood flooring runs horizontally to create the illusion of widened space; a skylight above the kitchen (reprised in other rooms), together with subtle integrated lighting, infuses the ambience with a soft, harmonious aura; and a gentle earthy palette adds to the overall sensation of tranquillity. The masterstroke, however, is the wall of sliding pocket windows that looks out over the pool to the sea. In theory, these windows delimit the interiors, but a rectangular extension following the lines of the living area's ceiling, walls and floor protrudes some two metres beyond, creating a telescopic effect that frames the views, funnels them inside and conjoins the indoor and outdoor spaces.brbrA door on one side of the kitchen opens into a little vestibule, off which is the laundry room and the first bedroom, a double with en-suite shower room and access to the side terraces.brbrDoors on either side of the living room, meanwhile, lead into two more double bedrooms, both of which have en-suite shower rooms, sea views and access to the terraces flanking the pool.brbrThe guesthouse is situated on slightly higher ground up the hill behind the main house. Its façade in local stone mirrors that of its sister, but inside things are somewhat different (though of no lower quality or aesthetic appeal). Polished grey concrete floors run throughout, raw concrete ceilings alternate with white-washed wood-beamed ones, and most of the walls are clad in milky-grey stone.brbrThe guesthouse entrance leads from a shady terrace into a central living area, off which the rest of the accommodation flows. To one side is a generously proportioned suite with double bedroom, a large en-suite shower room, and another double bedroom with access to the surrounding terraces.brbrOn the other side of the central living room, the space flows into a little hallway, off which is a well-equipped kitchen with skylight, a shower room, and the second bedroom, a double with sea views and access to the terraces.brbrOutside: the main house's al fresco areas are an integral extension of the interiors. Accessed directly from the living area and two of the bedrooms, and following the lines of the U, a pair of shaded sea-view terraces with secluding stone walls runs out towards the sea. One is home to a comfortably furnished sitting area, the other to a convivial dining area with outdoor kitchen.brbrAt the centre of this veritable oasis is the wonderful infinity pool, whose slender form reaches out to the sparkling waters of the Aegean.brbrThe guesthouse has also been designed with carefree outdoor living in mind. Running along its sea-facing façade outside the living room is a shaded sitting and dining area. The double bedroom flows out onto its own little terrace, while the sitting room of the suite accesses part of the front terrace. To one side of the house is a secluded outdoor kitchen, while to the other is a little courtyard.brbrBetween and around the two houses the gardens are planted with low-lying Mediterranean shrubs with some areas left in their natural state.brbrWhen the ferry connections timetable is not yet published for your travel dates, we recommend choosing a flight arriving in Athens or Mykonos by midday or, alternatively, adding a night in Athens or Mykonos the day before and/or after your time in Tinos.brbrDue to the nature of the property including terraces low walls and several drops around the grounds, children must be supervised at all times.brbrParts of the route to this property are unpaved and a little rough. We therefore strongly recommend guests hire a car with high ground clearance.brbrEnyalos features a fantastic infinity pool, offering swimmers stunning views while in the pool. There is a drop off the infinity side so we recommend children are supervised at all times. Please refer to our general safety page if you would like more information about infinity pools.brEnyalos is located on a headland between the beaches of Agios Petros and Kalivia, about half-way up the west coast of Tinos. Up above is the little village of Kardiani, which, together with the nearby seafront hamlet of Ormos Kardianis, offers a few tavernas and bars. brbrThe island’s capital, Tinos Town, is just over 25 minutes’ drive away, and it is here that you will find all the amenities you might require, from minimarkets and banks to petrol stations and chemists’. It’s a gentle place, with a weave of pretty streets, a good selection of tavernas, and a bustling port. Arguably the star of the show is the church of Panagía Evangelístria, one of the most important pilgrimage sites in the Greek Orthodox world. Built in 1830 in florid renaissance style, it houses an icon of the Virgin Mary that is said to have performed numerous miracles. brbrMeasuring just 27km long and 13km wide, Tinos is easy to explore in a week or two. The west coast is a series of little coves, many of which have little sandy beaches, including Kantani, Giannaki, and Vathi. A day or two exploring these by boat is highly recommended, also because some are difficult to access on foot or by car. Longer stretches of sand can be found at Agios Fokas and Laouti on the south coast below Tinos Town.brbrThe interior of Tinos is mountainous and home to a liberal scattering of pretty whitewashed villages, such as Pyrgos (Panormos), Steni, Dio Choria, Komi, Ysternia, Tripotamos and Skalados. Many of these have their origins in Byzantine and Venetian times and it is no coincidence that they were all built at a safe distance from the sea. The rocky landscape is also home to numerous intricately designed dovecots and cylindrical windmills, both architectural traditions introduced by the Venetians, who ruled the island between the 13th and the early 18th century. brbrThe most northerly quarter of Tinos is largely uninhabited, but there is a curious profusion of churches and chapels.

Chess House - Santorini Traditional Home

Thira, Egeo, Greece

Rental basis: Entire house or apartmentbrNumber of bedrooms: 1; Number of other rooms with beds: 1brNumber of bathrooms: 2brIf you cause damage to the property during your stay, you may be required to pay according to YourRentals’s property damage policy.brMy place is a traditional Santorini home! Built on the Caldera (Cliff), into the rock, where families of the people of the sea would live, always looking out to the Aegean where their loved ones made their living.. You’ll love my place because of the impeccable view, the peace and quiet, the traditional home experience which is so rare these days.. My place is good for one or two couples or families with or without kids. Reserved parking for guests is included.brbrPrivacy, peace & quiet are the main characteristics of this traditional home. The house is ideal for couples, families or larger groups of friends - not a surprise because it used to fit the whole family in the old days. Six people can sleep in regular beds -2 double and 2 singles (see photos), but the built in Sofa can be prepared to sleep up to another 2 if needed. brOne highlight of the house is the double outside area where people can spend time enjoying the view in peace, away from the road of Imerovigli, and closer to the sea and the volcano across. In 2023 a Jacuzzi has been installed in the front outside area. Also, bathrooms have been considerably enlarged and the kitchen area has been redone.brbrYou need to follow a short traditional path down to the house, from the top of Imerovigli, but it will reward you in that you are really away from the crowd even in the most busy months of the island. There are about 60 steps going down or up, about 5 minutes both ways.brbrThroughout your stay our team will be available to help you enjoy a once in a life time vacation on our island.

It is on the higher side of the cliff allowing for a spectacular view of the Caldera of Santorini - right across from the Santorini Volcano. There are different restaurants and stores in the area to dine and purchase goods, but to experience the night life and more commercial side of the island one needs to go to Fira which is a 5 minute drive, or a 25 minute walk. The airport as well as as the beaches are generally on the other side of the island which is a 20-30 minute drive.brbrDepending on your need, we can help you with transfers from one place to the other, or you can rent a car for the duration of part of your stay!brbrImerovigli is a peaceful village area, very well known for its position and view.
