Villa Thalya is one of two soulful residences in one private estate. A sublime setting, surrounded by rock and vine, sea and sky. Offering a new perspective on a world-famous destination.
Our elegant residences honour the site’s historical significance. A spectacularly scenic walk leads to the village of Pyrgos, a tumble of houses that cascades around a hilltop castle. High above the drama of the caldera, Pyrgos is the essence of lesser-known Santorini — an unspoiled village where local life slowly unfolds year-round in the whitewashed alleys.
The estate overlooks the beautifully restored stone chapel of the Apostles, and the evocative ruins of Martinou, the oldest Greek school on Santorini, which was founded in 1799. Little known footpaths connect the property to the authentic villages of Pyrgos and Emporio, the cliff-top citadel of ancient Thira, and Profitis Ilias monastery, poised on Santorini’s highest peak.
Surrounded by vineyards, organic kitchen gardens for farm-to-fork feasts, hiking trails, and sensational 360-vistas in all directions. Two perfectly private residences that can be rented separately or together. With all the concierge services to make your stay on Santorini seamless, and chefs, chauffeurs, masseurs and more on request.
