Santorini, GreeceVilla Kataki

Set in an old factory, this villa breathes with history. Before entering the main square of Pyrgos, turn left towards Exo Gonia village and after 20 m turn right and follow this street until you reach Agios Christoforos church. After this point motor vehicles are not allowed and Villa Fabrique is located approximately 120 meters or a 2 minute walk.
The property has a very sleek and minimal loft–style design, and has been restored with a deep understanding for its traditional Santorini architecture using the old style of polished cement and eco–friendly materials. Elements of the factory have been incorporated into the design and a huge piece of machinery stands like a magnificent sculpture as the centerpiece of one of the numerous living spaces. The restoration project took years of meticulous research, as Fabrique is located just underneath the historically important Castle of Pyrgos. The floors were painstakingly created by a local craftsman, who mixed colors and cement to create the beautiful matte finish throughout.
The villa boasts generous outdoor space: with two impressive pool terraces and various additional alfresco arrangements. Care and attention has been lavished on this home to make sure everything is stylish and luxurious without being fussy. It offers unbeatable comfort and effortless elegance for what is truly a one–of–a–kind luxury villa.
The complex was designed and operated in the past for the production of wine and tsipouro. The basic spatial organization of the buildings were based on the production and storage of wine. Specifically, the basic organizational type is made up of spaces for stepping on the grapes that are attached next to a large double height space where the wine is stored in barrels.

Some spaces are cave like (yposkafoi) and hide their form and some are expressed as cubic volumes. Domes, arches, thick walls, small windows compose the distinguished vernacular complex geometry and form of the buildings. The typological unit which makes up the fabric of Pyrgos is evident in the strict spatial organization of the complex with its protected courtyard and the various spaces built around it, allowing an almost “theatrical” reading of the space while creating a sense of increased privacy and introversion.
Due to its layout, Fabrique can be split into totally separate and private villas, or rented as a whole – a truly knockout retreat for an unforgettable wedding or a big family reunion. It can also host week–long spa retreats and cooking schools off–season.
The villa is made up of four distinct housing units which can be rented out as individual units or in groups. There is also a public space with an extra full kitchen and a large dining area that oversees the pool area. 

The Kataki villa accommodates 6 guests in the bedrooms and 1 extra guest in the living area. There are 2 master bedrooms with double beds and 1 with two single beds, all with organic mattresses. They are served by 2 bathrooms: 1 en–suite with bath, shower, dressing room, hairdryer and 1 shared bathroom with shower and 1 WC.

The kitchen is fully equipped with high quality utensils; in the open plan living and dining area. Villa Katoy features a private courtyard of 65m2 with a dining table for 10 and an outdoor jacuzzi. It has also access to the main pool of the complex and the sunset terrace.
The unit is equipped with Led TV; satellite TV; internet; CD/DVD/BD player; iPod dock; phone, safe box and fully air-conditioned.
