From the moment I arrived, I could feel the history and charm of the place. The villa itself has a beautiful minimalistic, rustic architecture that perfectly blends with the peaceful surroundings. The location is ideal, full of character, with stunning views, yet still close to everything you might want to explore on the island. Pyrgos completely stole my heart. It’s one of the only hillside towns in Santorini where locals still live, and you can really feel that authenticity in the atmosphere. The small streets, cozy restaurants, and hidden historical spots make it such a special place to wander around. The house staff were also incredibly friendly and helpful! they truly went above and beyond and made the stay ten times better. As a chef, these experiences were incredibly valuable to me. From discovering the town’s traditional cuisine through its local restaurants to actually learning and cooking those dishes in a beautiful, traditional Greek kitchen, it was an unforgettable culinary journey. The wood oven and fresh ingredients from the market brought out flavors I’ll never forget: simple, pure, and absolutely delicious. Evenings on the rooftop terrace were pure magic. Time just seems to slow down as you watch the sun set over the island. If you’re looking for something truly authentic and memorable in Santorini, I can’t recommend the Historical Villa Santa Croce enough. It’s a rare gem, full of beauty, history, and heart. And if you’re looking for a peaceful, relaxed time, I’d recommend visiting in early September, when the tourist season is slowing down and the towns are less crowded.Posted on Martha Jordan PardoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We absolutely loved our stay at this villa in Pyrgos! The house is a real gem, it has kept its original Greek architecture, so you feel immersed in Greece every second you’re there. At the same time, it’s super comfortable and luxurious, with a pool, jacuzzi, two kitchens, a terrace, and even a bathtub with a stunning view over the island. Our host told us the story of the villa. It once belonged to a wealthy local family and was carefully rebuilt following the neighbours’ memories of how it used to be. That made the experience feel truly special and authentic. We also got to cook with the traditional green stone oven. The flavours were unforgettable! Every morning, we’d have breakfast on the terrace, eating spanakopita from the bakery next door while admiring the breathtaking view of Santorini. Pyrgos itself is such a charming, traditional village, full of cozy cafés, real Greek restaurants, and picturesque little streets. It’s calm, authentic, and only a short 7 minute drive from the beach. It was a truly Greek experience we’ll never forget!Posted on Martha JordanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Villa Santa Croce is a true hidden gem in Santorini. It feels wonderfully intimate and personal. The rustic, typically Greek design makes you feel immediately at home, surrounded by authentic charm and beauty. The interior pool is the perfect spot to cool down during the day, while the exterior jacuzzi lets you enjoy the magic of Santorini nights under the stars. Every corner has been created with so much love and care, making the whole place warm and unforgettable. If you’re looking for a stay that combines comfort, authenticity, and heart, this is it.Posted on Jean lignierTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

From the moment we arrived at Villa Santa Croce, we knew we had discovered something truly special. Nestled in one of Santorini’s most picturesque corners, this heritage villa perfectly blends timeless elegance with modern comfort. The architecture and interior design pay homage to the island’s history, with carefully preserved details that reflect authentic Cycladic charm — think stone walls, arched ceilings, and handcrafted touches throughout. Yet, every modern amenity was thoughtfully integrated, from the luxurious bedding to the kitchen with a real wood oven and spa-like bathrooms. What made our stay unforgettable was the peace and privacy. The villa feels like a secluded sanctuary, yet it's conveniently located near great restaurants, local shops, and the famous Santorini views. Mornings on the terrace with a coffee and evenings watching the sun set into the caldera were simply magical. Special mention to the host, who went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional — offering helpful local recommendations and ensuring everything ran smoothly. We left feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and already planning our return!Posted on Emily WheelerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Concerning our short stay in June 2024, I must tell that the villa is absolutely stunning and elegantly decorated. The private pool and outdoor terrace with hot tub were highlights of our stay. I highly recommend Villa Canta Croce to anyone looking for a unique and luxurious getaway in a stunning historical setting. I totally recommend this unique place to anyone.Posted on Angelo Loy (adi padi)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Living in this beautiful home was magical. Every corner of the house is enchanting. From the terrace at the top that overlooks the entire island and on which I was able to do a wonderful yoga practice under the blue dome at six in the morning watching the sunrise, to the small pool with jacuzzi on the lower terrace, elegant and cosy, to the pool hidden in a cave on the lower floor. The bathroom of the apartment at the first floor is particularly beautiful. Made with tadelakt including the bathtub. It is a house that smells flowers. And that smilesPosted on Helena BoddenbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a lovely time at the wonderful Villa Santa Croce. The peaceful atmosphere and tranquil location, close to the historic city center of Pyrgos, made our stay exceptional. A special highlight for us was the pool on the terrace with a beautiful view over the island. Highly recommended!Posted on stella barakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our stay at Villa Santa Croce was beyond magical ! The Villa is within easy walking distance from the main square at Pyrgos in Santorini. A secluded courtyard leads to the spacious rooms and living area, all beautiful restored in traditional style and decorated with hand picked tableware and linen. The Villa offers plenty of space, with outdoor jacuzzi on the upstairs apartment and an extra inside cave pool downstairs. The evenings are peaceful offering stunning views across to Oia. Highly recommended! we would chose to stay there again !
