Architect Yannis Kaklamanis Employs Traditional Cycladic Craftsmanship To Restore A Treasured Winery
These luxury villas in Santorini are a unique complex designed from an ancient winery, located just off the main square in Pyrgos. Carefully renovated with respect for Cycladic architectural traditions, we love the simple beauty derived from the elemental design and the handcrafted materials and techniques.
The buildings are designed in a variety of shapes based on either production or storage and were in various states of disrepair. Overseen by architect Yannis Kaklamanis, the restoration of the compound took years of meticulous research to adhere to, and respect, the historical significance of the town. Enlisting local craftsmen, each of the buildings was painstakingly restored with a deep understanding for traditional Santorini architecture using eco–friendly materials and handcrafted techniques.
The shared outdoor living areas are spacious and lavish with multiple verandas, lounge areas, and a protected courtyard along with a Jacuzzi and BBQ area.
The four distinct units can be rented individually or in two groups and there is also a public space with an extra full kitchen and a large dining area overlooking the pool.
Beautifully restored and reimagined, this unique set of villas offers simple elegance and luxurious comforts from an amazing vantage point on Santorini.
