Villa Io

Tucked away in a secluded alcove of Megalochori, within a short stroll from the village square, Villa Io is an ideal hideaway providing peace and privacy. Built into the volcanic rock, the villa once served as the village school to the local children. Today the interior is postcard-perfect, with white with beautiful arched interiors. The outdoor area is private and the hand-laid cobbled courtyard, complemented by a glistening pool, provides the perfect outdoor space for lazing around on hot summer days.

The layout of the villa takes the form of traditional Santorini houses. The floors throughout the villa are traditional polished cement and are covered with rugs, adding a cool and sophisticated air to the interior. As the village of Megalochori is surrounded by vineyards, the villa continues with this theme with unusual light fittings fashioned out of the basket-like vines.

The farm-style kitchen is large and fully equipped with an antique dining table and beautifully crafted chairs and modern appliances. Cutlery and crockery are housed in an ornate antique dresser, adding an old-world charm to the kitchen.

The original double wooden doors open up into a single room and a staircase leads you up to a delightful den. The latter is best suited for children over 6 years old, due to its narrow access and the sense of a loft hide-away. Through an arched passageway, leading from the kitchen, you will find the comfortable living room with doors leading out to the courtyard and pool. Doors lead from the lounge to a comfortable double bedroom. The open-space bathroom has a large shower, marble vanity, beautifully restored towel rails and a separate restroom.

This traditional villa ensures tranquility, privacy and a taste of village life. Villa Io is ideal for families wanting to experience the true island life-style of days gone by without compromising on comfort.
