Sheltered from the Cycladic winds, the traffic free village of Megalochori provides a peaceful and sought-after alternative. The romantic Villa Ivi once provided the villagers with a safe haven from marauding pirates who invaded the island. Today the villa, with its cool vaulted interior, provides an enchanting holiday home. Near to the picturesque village square with its Venetian architecture, the Villa Ivi is approached through painted blue doors which lead into a pretty and private cobbled courtyard. Olive trees in large terracotta pots add a lovely atmosphere as you enter and the outdoor heated Jacuzzi is perfect to relax in after a day at the beach. Quant blue doors lead from the courtyard into the open-plan living area which houses the lounge, dining room and well-equipped kitchen. The spacious master bedroom, with high domed ceiling has a view of the courtyard. A large bathroom, with modern amenities serves this bedroom. The second bedroom is a guest house that has its own entrance from the courtyard. The double bedroom is of a comfortable size and a small flight of stairs lead to the en-suite bathroom with shower. This is a great villa for one or two couples or a small family wanting a private retreat from which to explore the island. Location of the home : Megalochori is a lovely village located in the centre of Santorini, with white painted houses, beautiful churches, narrow cobble streets and a quant village atmosphere surrounded by vineyards. It provides a perfect base from where to explore the island of Santorini. To get to the best beaches of the island (Perivolos, Vlyhada, Red Beach) is just a 10 minutes’ drive. At the same distance is the capital (Fira). The village starting becoming popular the last years and has excellent restaurant options from traditional local tavernas to more gourmet options. A local bakery , mini-market, hairdresser and suparmarket are also available. You can also enjoy a visit to the local winery Gavalas for wine tasting (3 minutes distance from the villa).Closing I would say that Megalochori is a true reflection of the local Santorini experience! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Massage ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Limo/town car service - Car not required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee - Chef service - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - DVD player - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Change of bedsheets (on request) - Change of towels on request - Concierge services - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board - Safe ### Location highlights - In a village - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina ### Things to do - Basketball nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Parasailing nearby - Rock climbing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - At least 80% of food locally-sourced - Bed sheets changed on request - Housekeeping (on request) - Locally-owned and organised tours and activities - Towels (changed on request) - Unit size: 1,076 square feet - Vegan dining options - Vegetarian dining options ## Similar properties ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/60000000/59770000/59768300/59768300/w1621h1080x1y0-66a5aeb5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Queen's house with jacuzzi and sea view Santorini - Hot tub - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Laundry 10 Exceptional 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-23&endDate=2025-11-24&selected=59768300&PinnedHotelID=59768300&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27130000/27120700/27120697/3e354292.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Michelangelo Beach Villa with Sea View Oia - Hot tub - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 41 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-23&endDate=2025-11-24&selected=27120697&PinnedHotelID=27120697&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/30000000/29880000/29872800/29872718/24a5916d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Gabriel House On The Beach.

Our hosts (especially Ester) were very helpful and responsive, and a cleaning lady came each day to keep things looking great. There is a small cafe right across the street which has great food and live music every night (usually mandolin and guitar music). There is a 24 hour bakery up the street so you can always pick up the essentials. We had a blessed and adventurous honeymoon, and staying at this villa was a huge part of the greatness of the trip. ##### Joel P.

We really liked staying in this small town with bakeries and small restaurants within walking distances. A short drive took us anywhere we wanted to go on the island, so the location was perfect. The property manager met us at the beginning and end of our time and was very helpful with recommendations for the island. The cave house was comfortable and had everything we needed. We did not cook or eat here, but it was equipped if you want to. We loved having a hot tub to relax at the end of the day. A cleaner came in every day and took away garbage and changed the towels. A nice alternative to the busy caldera area. ##### Lois P.

The town and house could not have been anymore cooler than it was. One suggestion is a hand rail for the bathroom stairs in the guest room. The experience was amazing and Ester is so pleasant. Not a place for anyone with mobility issues but that could be said for all of Santorini. Lots of hills but very beautiful. ##### Rodger T.

Clean, well equipped and comfortable. Our host Ester was waiting for us on arrival with plenty of helpful information about the surrounding area, and available if any questions arose during our stay. Visiting different parts of the island is fairly easy from here, using the local bus services but I would advise renting a car if possible. In my opinion this Villa was located in the best part of the island as it was quiet and peaceful away from the crowds and within easy travelling distance to all of the places of interest. There are also lots of lovely friendly restaurants and cafes close by. Fabulous Villa. Would definitely recommend 👌 ##### Nikki G.

Nous sommes aussi atypiques car contrairement aux usages de Santorini nous sommes restés une semaine. Globalement Santorin vaut de rester une semaine mais vous aurez quelques soirs où vous voudrez rester au calme. Le problème vient de la petite maison qui donne sur rue face à un café qui fait concert jusqu’à minuit ou 1 heure chaque soir. Les fenêtre n’étant pas isolées c’est comme si nous assistions au concert chaque soir. Je ne peux donc pas recommander cette location pour 2 couple restant plus de 2 nuits. Le 1er soir on va au concert donc pas de problème. La maison principale est très belle et parfaitement insonorisée. La cour est agréable et fraîche. La location est bien équipée. Je recommande pour 2 personnes sauf si des travaux sont effectués ou pour de très courte durée ##### Luc C.

Ester was very helpful in greeting us and walking us through the important things to know about the property, although we weren’t expecting to have to walk (with our luggage) to the Villa from the closest large intersection. The Villa is in the heart of Megalochori, within walking distance of several great restaurants (Avlogyros was one of our favorites), bars, and ice cream places. The washer was very helpful to have as we were easily able to wash our clothes. We would have liked for the host(s) to have detergent on hand, but it was easy to buy at the local convenience store. The area tends to be a little buggy, but that can almost be expected when many villas are built into the sides of caves lol. Our only complaint was the keys/doors. There is a lot of wiggling and finagling that needs to be done to gain access to the Villa. If guests are ever in a hurry to gain access, the locks are not conducive to prompt entry. Overall the Villa was great for the price and Ester’s accessibility throughout our stay made the trip enjoyable. We felt very safe throughout our stay. Megalochori is a charming neighborhood with a good mix of locals and tourists, as well as easy access to buses and other transportation. Thanks Petros and Ester! ##### Marc R.

The town lacks the breathtaking views, but gives you more of a sense of how the locals live, since it's not overrun by tourists. There's a small town square with restaurants and a mini-mart . Less than a five-minute walk away, on the main road, is the bakery, which serves baked goods , food and cooked meas. It's also the landmark for tourists and the bus stop, from which you can catch a bus to the beaches, Akrotiri, Fira, etc. The house it self is clean spacious and wll equipped ##### George S.

Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Amanda L. 11 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Beautiful village, very poor communication with owner This property was a cave house built into the underside of a beautiful church. The village was very quaint and much quieter than other areas of Santorini. Unfortunately, the communication with the owner of this property was very poor. She never did initiate contact with me, despite me sending many messages through the Home Away and trying to call her directly. I did reach her by phone once and she said she would get back to me with answers to my questions. The day before we travelled, since I hadn't heard back from her I contacted HomeAway directly. This was a three hour experience of being on hold, getting disconnected and starting over from the beginning about five times. I did eventually receive an email from the owner, with no apology for the lack of communication ,and with basic arrival info. She did provide a phone number and email to contact the concierge, Ester. The email for Ester was incorrect and bounced back but I was able to reach her directly by phone the day before we arrived. Ester was great! She helped with arranging our car rental, a short 12 hours before our arrival! She met us near the property and recommended things to do. Ester did say that the she was also having trouble contacting the owner and was afraid that something was wrong. A couple of other items to note: The heated jacuzzi was ice cold when we arrived and it took more than 24 hours to heat up to a "warm" temp. This was a key feature of the property that lead us to choosing this rental so it was disappointing that it was not ready for us. Also, the internet was very very weak. We could check email with a lot of patience but that was about it. The parking area is a public lot outside the village. It is about 300 meter walk from the villa. The villa is separated into two different buildings as noted in the description. The stairs in the guest house leading up to the bath are a bit daunting at night, as other reviews stated. Some safety precautions should take place. Even a flash light provided would help. The bath tub in the main house is only for show. It is too big to fill up and does not have a stopper. The water heaters need 20 minutes each to warm up for showers which takes some planning. Overall, we enjoyed our stay as the village is wonderful. Ester was very helpful once we were able to contact her. However, due to the lack of communication and the stress this caused leading up to travel, I cannot recommend this property. ##### Amanda L.
