Nestled in the traditional village of Emporio, at the foot of the medieval castle of Kastelli, this exceptional three-storey property offers a rare opportunity to acquire an authentic yet fully equipped and furnished residence in one of the most historic and attractive villages of Santorini. Located in the southeastern part of the island, Emporio is the largest village of Santorini, with a vibrant local community and year-round amenities. The property is conveniently located, just 9 km from Fira, 7 km from Athinios port and 7 km from Santorini airport, offering both accessibility and peaceful village life. The 145 sq m corner property, on a 60 sq m plot, is arranged over three fully independent levels and enjoys plenty of natural light thanks to its southeast orientation. With a total capacity of up to 10 people (3 upstairs, 4 downstairs, 3 downstairs), the residence is equally suitable for private use, and premium rental. Each level functions as a self-contained apartment with handmade built-in beds, sculpted plaster finishes (patita) and elegant Cycladic-style bathrooms with walk-in showers — a flawless combination of tradition and modern comfort. The crown jewel is the vaulted upper-floor suite (approx. 40 sq m), with an impressive 4.7 m ceiling, loft-style bedroom and sea views directly from the bed. The 19 sq m veranda extends the outdoor space with a shaded pergola, built-in seating area, dining area and heated jacuzzi overlooking the Aegean Sea, Profitis Ilias, Kastelli and the traditional village below — an excellent private retreat for sunset evenings. The ground floor residence (51 sq m) offers warm, traditional living spaces and a charming terrace overlooking the sea, while the cave residence (hyposkafos) (54 sq m) provides natural thermal stability and a serene, atmospheric retreat. Architectural authenticity enhances the appeal of the market, while modern amenities — Wi-Fi on all levels, smart TVs, fully equipped kitchens, laundry facilities and air conditioning where required — meet international standards. Flexible rental strategies allow for bookings of the entire property or renting individual units to maximize occupancy and efficiency. Within walking distance are Kasteli (100 m), the village center (300 m) and the free municipal parking lot (150 m). Santorini’s renowned beaches — Perissa (2 km), Perivolos (2.5 km) and Vlychada (3.2 km) — further enhance both the lifestyle value and investment value. Recent infrastructure improvements (2024), solar hot water system, dual entrances and full utility connections make this a ready-to-use property offering strong income potential, long-term value and the rare privilege of owning a modern retreat that embodies the timeless soul of Santorini.
