Azzurra

The concept: Volcano view cave villa

Imerovigli is Santorini’s most luxurious village on the cliffside, with panoramic views of the caldera and volcano — close to Fira, yet far enough to feel removed from the busiest spots. Azzurra sits here—a thoroughly modern cave villa, with a private volcano-view terrace, cool handcrafted mosaics, marble floors, warm wood tones and white-washed walls. This luxury Santorini villa is perfect for up to 4 guests who want to enjoy the famous view in privacy and style while still be within walking distance of the main restaurants and shops.

Outdoors

As you come down your private steps from Azzurra’s gate off the cliff path, you are greeted with a private stone walled terrace, lounge spots and a swimming pool with jacuzzi jets. Imagine relaxing with a glass of local wine, with a blue-domed church and the volcano stretching before you.  There are loungers and a table for alfresco dining arranged across the terrace, while on the upper level, you will find another private veranda for quiet moments. There is also a gate by the swimming pool to enter the villa by the lower cliff path as well.

Interior

The indoor and outdoor spaces are a harmonious extension of each other.  The vaulted arches of this unique cave residence create a bright open-plan space inside. There is a comfortable and cool sitting area with a fully equipped kitchen and dining table for 6, while the house extends back to the open plan main bedroom with a king size bed and a luxurious ensuite double shower bathroom carved in stone. On the upper level of the villa, at the top of the stairs, you will find the second double ensuite bedroom, opening onto its own veranda.

Good to know

Imerovigli is the highest village on the caldera cliffside, and the views of the volcano are truly impressive. You can walk along the cliff path leading to Fira, the main town, or even up to Oia in the north, along the hiking path. And only 800 meters from the villa you will find the famous Skaros Rock ; if you feel adventurous you can take the 200 steps down to the Theoskepasti church, for striking views back across the caldera.
