Villa Ro Greece

Santorini’s quintessential combination of beautiful bougainvillaea-draped houses, glistening Aegean and bright blue sky appear in all their glory at one-bedroomed Villa Ro in Imerovigli.
From the sea-facing terrace, balcony and outdoor spa tub, this cliffside retreat boasts panoramic views over the caldera and craggy coast. Inside, the interior is minimalist and modern with custom-made furniture and a soothing palette of beiges and greys elegantly offset by classic dark wood features.
The luxurious villa is split over two levels with a stylish open-air dining area, comfortable lounge and fully-equipped kitchen on the upper. The lower level further offers unsurpassed romance and luxury, with the sleeping and bathroom combined into one.
The king-size bed has a comfy Tempur mattress for a peaceful night’s sleep, and the bathroom includes a generously-sized walk-in shower, double sink so couples can brush their teeth together and a beautiful bathtub made with local black marble. The latter is ideally placed beside a window so you can enjoy the serene vistas with a spa-like soak.
Compact, yet light and welcoming, Villa Ro is the perfect villa for a couples holiday together – or even for an indulgent honeymoon. Gather around the al fresco dining table and watch a magical sunset over a glass of wine (picked up from one of the famous local wineries), stretch out on the cushioned seating area in the sun or cool off in the pool, which appears to be floating on the sea’s surface. Inside, a television, internet and air conditioning all round off the homely amenities.
Tucked away in a secluded cove, yet within a short stroll from the centre with local tavernas and seafood restaurants, Villa Ro is an ideal hideaway for privacy or exploration. When it’s time to leave your island haven, coastal and aquatic adventures beckon. Wander the cobbled streets and browse the boutique shops, visit the exciting ancient sites or swim in the sea’s crystal-clear waters. Imerovigli is a beautiful village on the island of Santorini. It’s adjacent to the capital Fira and is most famous for its beautiful sunsets, welcoming atmosphere and cube-shaped houses lining the jagged cliffs.
Foodies will love the local tavernas and restaurants, serving everything from freshly-caught seafood to traditional moussaka, while nature fiends can rejoice in the breathtaking surrounds.
Spend your afternoons wandering the cobbled streets, browsing the boutique shops selling everything from souvenirs to home-made goods or visiting the sapphire domes in Imerovigli centre, a short stroll from the villa. Stop off for a traditional Greek coffee or a bite to eat.
By night, the village is usually quiet, and you can enjoy a drink or your meal under the stars. If you’re after a livelier evening atmosphere, the popular village of Oia with cosy café-bars playing lounge music is about a 10-minute drive away or you could go to the capital, Thira, with its upbeat bars and clubs.
Thira is also known for its shopping, and the capital’s streets are packed with clothes, shoes and ceramics, while Oia has lovely art galleries and places to pick up handmade pottery and amber trinkets.
To experience the beauty of Santorini from new heights, the walking trail from Thira to Oia is an ideal option. It usually takes about three hours, depending on how often you stop for pictures, and goes along the majestic edge of the caldera, through the charming village of Firostefani, past the monastery of Agios Nikolaos and ends at Oia. On the way, there are little churches to see and plenty of tavernas for rest stops. For a shorter route, you can start the trail in Imerovigli itself.
Boat trips can take you to explore the island’s volcanic features and sandy swimming beaches. Adrenaline junkies might like to part in water sports like sea kayaking and parasailing, and scuba diving is also a popular choice in Santorini.
There are nearly forty dive sites, mostly around the caldera and its islets. Aspronisi with an abundance damselfish, a World War II wreck between the two Kameni islets or the well-preserved freighter with parrot fish is top choices.
