Pyrgos Blue

One would almost be forgiven to expect the smell of freshly baked bread wafting through this home as you enter. Perseverance and patience has transformed this traditional dwelling into an idyllic family holiday home.

You will be transfixed by breathtaking views of the island as you traverse the footpath leading to house. A large courtyard welcomes you with open arms. You will love exploring each room - in the lounge a clutch of cushions adorns the customary Santorinian couch. An alcove serves as an informal dining area for hearty family meals, prepared in the well equipped kitchen.

Greek music from the radio drifts through the house and lures you to explore further. An arched passage way opens up, which leads you to the sleeping quarters. The master bedroom is light and airy and has a view overlooking the Caldera with double doors leading to a second enclosed courtyard, with a private outdoor shower as a bonus.

Two charming single bedrooms - which may just be the medicine to eliminate sibling rivalry – further compliment the sleeping arrangements in the main house. An additional double en-suite bedroom, with private entrance, is reached via the second quad.

After a day exploring the island, getting the kids sorted, lighting the evening barbeque in the courtyard, do take a glass of local wine up to the roof terrace to enjoy the spectacular sunset and contemplate on the magical nature of the place.
