The Blue
Angel Villa is perched high on the cliff top above the spectacular
Caldera in the most cosmopolitan area in the main town of
Fira. The owners have spent the last 2 years meticulously
renovating this traditional “canava” into a luxurious Santorinian
retreat. The Villa has been refurbished to the highest standards;
decorated with handmade Italian tiles and traditional stone
work combined to create an eclectic mix of all the modern
conveniences without losing sight of the simplistic Cycladic
style.
This 17th century canava (cave house) is furnished to a high
standard in the traditional style of the Cycladic islands.
Approached via an intimate and inviting courtyard, one enters
a vast living area complete with high vaulted ceilings in
the traditional Santorinian style. The dinning room is serviced
by a well equipped galley-style kitchen.
A hand-made, stain glass door leads to the master bedroom
with a large, circular King-size bed, cool white walls and
an Italian tiled floor. Accommodated within this bedroom is
a large Jacuzzi set with mosaic glass tiles. The en-suite
bathroom has all the modern amenities, including a large overhead
shower and a hand-made marble basin.
A curved staircase leads from the open-plan living area to
a mezzanine floor with a double bed. A moon shaped window
gives an exceptional and romantic view of the Caldera. The
third double bedroom-or suite- has a private seating area
with a fire place and is reached both by a separate entrance
from the courtyard and an internal door leading to the main
living space. There is a small kitchenette and a mini-bar.
The en-suite bathroom is spectacular with its large circular
bath, with an overhead shower and a recessed hand-made ceramic
gold-leaf basin.
Two terraces complete this rare find and offer breathtaking
views of the western part of the island and of the ancient
volcanic rock that stands magnificently. This area is sure
to entice you to sample a glass of the island's famous wine
and provides a wonderful platform from where to enjoy the
famous sunset, whilst savouring the magic of Santorini.
