Romantic Cycladic mansion with a Caldera view, private swimming pool & Jaccuzi
The split-level Alba Caldera Mansion is in Akrotiri, featuring an outdoor private pool and a sun terrace overlooking the Aegean Sea and the Caldera. The spacious air-conditioned mansion has wooden floors and traditional and modern furnishings; it consists of 3 bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with a dining area, a living room with a fireplace, and two bathrooms. Facilities include a flat-screen TV with a DVD player, a games console, a dishwasher, and a microwave. Santorini is famous for its unique Caldera with its steep precipice slopes, and our mansion has a breathtaking view. Starting in May 2023, our guests can enjoy this view from the jacuzzi installed on the mansion's rooftop. The archaeological site of Ancient Akrotiri is just 0.9 miles away, while the lively Fira Town is 8.1 miles away. The Venetian fortress of Akrotiri is within walking distance from our mansion and the traditional village of Akrotiri, where you can find authentic Greek taverns and cafes. Also, it is near a hidden beach in Caldera. The owner of the property lives on the backyard patio. She is a pharmacist.
We had a fantastic time staying in Alba residence. The villa is in a great location and with plenty of space for everyone. It would be good to have a add a few more bits and pieces for the kitchen for when you want to cook at home rather than going out!
My family and I had a wonderful time at this property. We stayed 5 nights - the villa is located not far from the more tourist areas and enjoyed being able to get away . The property description was accurate and had beautiful views from the house. Amani and her husband gave us recommendations on places to visit and restaurants that were absolutely perfect for our visit. We definitely want to come back on our next trip.
The views from the roof, front patio and the pool area exceeded expectations based on photos online. The house was very spacious, the kitchen was well appointed and the beds were very comfy. Both jacuzzi on the roof and the pool in the back were very nice and as described. The check in/out process with the house manager Akis was very informative and accommodative as he took the time to give us many good recommendations and was responsive during our stay. The location was great for access to many of the great beaches on the southeast side of the island and still close enough to easily visit the busier towns of Oia and Fira. We loved the Grigoris bakery right up the road and there was ample parking, So I would recommend a rental car for this location. In short, a lovely first trip to Santorini for our family in the comforts of an amazing home with friendly hosts.
Akrotiri is one of the most famous villages of Santorini. The modern settlement stands out at the southern cap of the island. Not to mention, the village is very close to one of the most famous beaches of Santorini, the Red Beach. It is characterized by Kastelli, the medieval castle at its highest point. It has about 500 permanent residents.
Moreover, to reach Akrotiri, you will cross a beautiful route with excellent views of the beautiful volcanic landscape of Santorini. Traditionally built around the old castle, the settlement is suitable for visitors. The visitors will stroll along the narrow cobbled streets and get an exquisite taste of authentic village life. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance of the house. If you prefer authenticity, so Akrotiri is the place to choose.
Suppose you donât own a vehicle. In that case, one can reach Akrotiri using public transport; a daily bus connects Akrotiri to Fira daily by bus (about 15 km).
Apart from the red beach, where one can reach Akrotiri on foot, there are also Mesa Pigadia and Aspri Paralia, which one can get only by sea.
A breathtaking situation with stunning views all around. Amani met us and showed us around. Sufficient food for breakfast and an excellent bottle of wine on-site. House is spacious with everything you could possibly need. The pool is fantastic and completely private.
