About this property

Villa Aspro Spiti has a fantastic position on the highest point of Oia Village in the Perivolas area offering guests spectacular views across the cliff, village and volcano, these views are even more beautiful at sunset! The location is excellent, just 500m from the centre of Oia village and its wide range of amenities, including shops and restaurants. Being set out over three floors, the villa would suit couples holidaying together, a small group of friends or a large family.

Also, on this level is the living and dining areas with access to the terrace as well as a kitchen fully equipped with all necessary modern appliances. There is a “loft apartment” which is accessed via internal stairs, here at the very top of the house is the third double bedroom which offers guests unforgettable views. Also on this level is another living and kitchen area and access to a balcony with outdoor seating.

Outside, guests can soak up the tranquil surroundings from the infinity jacuzzi plunge pool on the terrace or enjoy a glass of wine on the upper balcony while admiring the sunset views.

* Please note that there is an additional per person, per night charge of €70 for any additional guests for parties larger than six. (maximum of two additional guests)

The Aspro Spiti can be found nestled in nature, at the highest spot of Oia in the Perivolas area overlooking the village and its traditional architecture, on the north coast of Santorini, a Cycladic island in the southern Aegean Sea. The villa is fifteen kilometres from Santorini’s International Airport and thirteen kilometres from the port of Athinios. The nearest village is Oia being just 500 meters away from the centre. Near the villa, you will find convenient facilities such as a bus stop, restaurants and markets as well as a parking space. The area of Perivolas is home to contemporary art galleries and upscale indie boutiques dotted along beautiful whitewashed cobbled alleys. You will be spoilt for choice with alfresco dining along the cliffside where you can enjoy those sunset views.

 The nearest sandy beach is Capo Colombo, a seven-minute drive from the villa, this secluded unspoilt beach has dark sand and pebbles and is far away from the madding tourist crowds. The nearby old town of Oia is rather magical, a fishing village, with a maze of colourful lanes, populated with exclusive boutiques, leading down to the harbour. Here you will find supermarkets and restaurants, banks and bakeries, souvenir shops and more. Seek solace in blue-domed Greek Orthodox churches, tilt at windmills, visit the Naval Museum, cliff dive off Ammoudi Bay, enjoy freshly caught seafood by the seashore, and stay for the famous sunsets. Stroll the nine-kilometre trail and hike the Caldera edge until you get to the capital town of Fira, on Santorini’s west coast. In Fira town centre there are lots of museums, choose from the Santorini Wine Museum, the Archeological Museum of Thera, the Museum of Prehistoric Fira, or the Tomato Museum.

 Take a walk to the top of Thera Mountain, where you can explore the ancient city ruins, and admire the views from the world’s only sunken caldera. All aboard a boat trip to the uninhabited islet of Nea and Palia Kameni, an active volcano, with a path of black lava rock, smoking craters, and sulphurous hot springs. Visit the villages and find out what island life was really like. Highly recommended is Pyrgos, found in the foothills of Mount Profitis, surrounded by vineyards that produce the highly prized Assyrtiko white wines. Take a trip back in time as you walk down the steep medieval alleyways, populated with tavernas and wine bars, art galleries and gift shops, a museum that showcases traditional island life, and one that is home to religious relics in the former Agia Triada chapel.

 Don’t miss a visit to Akrotiri, a prehistoric city, that was believed to be the first settlement on the island, dating back to Neolithic times. For more recent history, The Arygyros Mansion has guided tours of this neo-classical Venetian merchant’s home. Santorini hosts an annual film festival, and the twice-daily film screenings at the alfresco Cine Kamari are not to be missed. Spend a day island hopping, swimming and snorkelling in the azure Aegean Sea, enjoying a meal of Greek meze on board, before watching the sunset as you sail back into the harbour.
