Perched dramatically on the edge of Santorini’s legendary caldera, Villa Alectrona occupies one of the most privileged positions in Oia.

Amenities
Living Spaces
The villa offers one principal living area arranged as a cosy yet elegant lounge with an adjoining dining space. Spanning approximately 120 square metres, the interiors are shaped by whitewashed walls, soft architectural curves, and carefully framed openings that draw the caldera into view. Natural light floods the space throughout the day, creating an atmosphere that feels calm, expansive, and intimately connected to the horizon.
Bedrooms & Laundry
Three beautifully appointed bedrooms accommodate guests in quiet comfort. Each bedroom features a king-size bed that can be configured as twins if required, alongside built-in storage and a private en-suite bathroom. The aesthetic is clean, serene, and uncluttered, allowing the setting to take centre stage. Daily housekeeping is included, with additional laundry arrangements available upon request for longer stays.
Kitchen & Dining
The fully equipped kitchen supports both relaxed self-catering and private chef experiences arranged through the concierge. The adjoining dining area provides an intimate indoor setting, while the terraces offer an extraordinary alfresco alternative overlooking the sea. Pre-arrival grocery stocking and curated in-villa dining experiences can be organised to ensure every meal feels seamless and considered.
Bathrooms
The villa includes 3 en-suite bathrooms, one of which features a bathtub for extended soaking. All bathrooms are finished to a high standard and stocked with essentials.
Entertainment
Entertainment at Villa Alectrona is intentionally understated, allowing the setting itself to remain the focal point. Satellite television, an iPad, and an iPod docking station are available, supporting relaxed evenings indoors. The true spectacle lies outside, where sunset becomes the evening’s centrepiece.

The villa is fully air-conditioned, maintaining comfort during Santorini’s warmer months while preserving the cool, calming ambience of the interiors.
