About this property

Spacious Luxury Private Villa - Pool - Ocean Views

Welcome to ‘The Winery Estate’ a unique blend of traditional architecture, history and style coupled with modern convenience. Accommodating 12 guests with indoor and outdoor facilities it is a perfect blend of location, comfort and convenience for your stay in Santorini.

The Winery Estate is ideally located in the peaceful village of Megalochori - One of the true gems of Santorini. The property’s location means an easy stroll will take you to the picturesque village square, which plays host to an array of quaint tavernas and shops, along with a mini market and a locally renowned bakery. Its central setting allows for a short drive to all parts of the island, including the Caldera, Fira, Oia, Amoudi Bay and the beaches of Perissa and Kamari. The Winery Estate is the perfect base for all your activities on Santorini and ensures easy access to the best that the island has to offer whilst also providing a relaxing and peaceful getaway when required.

Dating back to the 17th century, The Winery Estate was originally called 'Canava Beko' and exported its wine all over the Aegean. You will notice that the floors are all ever so slightly sloping so when the wine was pressed, it would naturally run into the large pits in the ground, called "muster pits", from here it would be paled out and once in the barrels it would be stored lined up on each side of the main chamber (now the living room and kitchen). These centuries old muster pits are still visible in the property however are covered with glass that supports up to 300kg of weight. The property retains many of the original features, even the old metal pulley which would hoist the barrels on to the backs of donkeys for transport and is still hanging from the ceiling in the living room.

Around 1930 Canava Beko stopped producing wine. The property was abandoned and fell into disrepair, which was the condition in which we found and fell in love with this unique property. Starting in 2008 Canava Beko has undergone a loving 7 year restoration and modernisation bringing the property up to an immaculate standard to ensure a comfortable and carefree stay for all guests for what is now lovingly called ‘The Winery Estate ’

Furnished with care and attention to detail with pieces chosen to compliment unique architectural style, the property comfortably accommodates 12 guests in complete privacy.

The main house sleeps 10 guests with 4 air conditioned bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and features a large fully equipped kitchen including all appliances, cutlery and crockery as well as a lounge and dining area with a open fire place to comfortably accommodate all guests. The lounge area features a flat screen TV, Netflix and a DVD player with a broad selection of films for those stay indoors nights. Laundry facilities, linen and beach towels are provided.

In addition, the ‘Bergonia Suite’ is a fully equipped, self-contained cavern house accommodating 2 guests, with bathroom and jacuzzi, kitchenette, a dining terrace, and its own entrance off the pool terrace, perfect for romantic nights in.

Outside, the estate includes 3 large private terraces: The Pool Terrace, with a large pool (40sq meters), loungers and pagoda; the Roof Terrace with a pagoda, hammock, loungers and dining area, perfect for all day sun worshipping or siestas in the shade and the Main Terrace, with a double, built in barbecue and a dining space for 12 guests as well as a comfy seating area with shade. All terraces have stunning views over the local vineyards and family churches in the village as well as the ancient windmills of Vlychada and the Aegean Sea beyond and are perfect for relaxing, dining and entertaining.

The Winery Estate truly is an exceptional residence that should not be missed and is sure to make your holiday to Santorini a memory to treasure.

Beautifully renovated villa
We were extended family staying in Santorini for a family wedding. The Villa was beautiful and has been sympathetically restored. As it is an old winery it is amazingly cool in the heat of the day. The Villa has everything you need and I love the way they don’t skimp on anything. The Villa owner Sarah was so helpful in advance & also her manager Pedros was always on hand for queries. Sarah arranged for her driver Panos to pick us up from the airport and then he made himself available to take us everywhere all week. He was a star!

Spacious villa in a lovely traditional village
Lots of outside space, comfortable beds and Sarah is superb. Some appliances and bathrooms could do with updating but when we had an issue with the dishwasher it was replaced the next day

Relaxing at the Winery Estate
Sarah was extremely helpful in the run up to our trip and organised the car hire, which was essential for exploring the island, as well as the taxi to / from the airport. The house itself is large, with lovely views and outside areas for relaxing. The five bedrooms are all well appointed, although we didn't use the separate one by the pool, which is pretty much self-contained. UK Netflix was an added bonus for the children, who also slept in the platform bedroom above the kitchen, which they loved as it was like a tree house. The kitchen had lots of equipment so cooking was easy. Others have noted the steps up to the property, which were no problem for us, and the driveway is steep and narrow, which I imagine could intimidate some. Having the village and the bakery a short walk away was great, and we ate out three times in Megalochori at different places - all excellent. In short, it's a great place to spend time, but also a convenient central location to explore the island, from Perissa black sand beach in the south to Oia in the north. It's in a 'real' bit of Santorini, with locals living around, as well as donkeys, horses and mules to pet and feed next door! I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

An amazing stay
Our stay at the winery was excellent from start to finish, Sarah is a great host she sent a taxi to pick us up from the airport and drop us off again free of charge. She arranged car hire to be dropped off at the villa the next day which we found very useful. The villa itself is fantastic the option to take a dip in the pool everyday was great. The villa is minutes walk away from a bakery and the village square which has an array of tavernas and local shops. Overall we had a blast and would definitely come back.
