THE LIGHTHOUSE 1 Bedroom / 2 - 3 people Description Located in Oia, in the far northern tip of Santorini and reached by a labyrinth of narrow winding pedestrian streets, this group of villas is situated right on the edge of a cliff, beneath the famous Oia windmill. It is an awe-inspiring location, 180 metres above sea level, with truly spectacular uninterrupted views over the caldera and the sea, and in a unique position to enjoy the renowned Santorini sunsets. This is the perfect spot for celebrating an anniversary or other special event, but note that steep steps both to and within the property make it unsuitable for very young children or the very elderly. The village of Oia with its mix of boutiques, jewellery shops, mini-markets, bakeries, a pharmacy and a good choice of small tavernas, is just five minutes walk away. Private parking is available within a couple of minutes walk. At the base of the cliff, down numerous steps, is the small port of Ammoudi with its tavernas offering fresh fish and shellfish. The villas are part of a hotel complex, constructed in typical Santorini volcanic architecture, with white-washed walls and black rock floors made from volcanic lava. There is much use of arches, framing the magnificent views, and furnishings are in a dark green. The fresh water swimming pool is half open to the sun and half cave covered and has its own Jacuzzi whirlpool area, and a sun terrace furnished with sun loungers. A pool bar next to the sauna serves fresh fruit cocktails, ice cream and other refreshments. On the main terrace, just below the reception, is a dining area where breakfast and light snacks can be enjoyed. Each villa also has its own private terrace overlooking the caldera and the sea. Amenities include direct telephone, satellite television, CD player, safe, hairdryer and air conditioning. Taxi transfers to and from the airport can be arranged, as well as excursions by taxi, bus or boat. Linen change is every two days, and fresh towels daily.
