We said it a couple of years ago, Santorini needed a plan B because it was dying of success with mass tourism. Now recovering from the global pandemic, the island is much calmer. Maybe it's time to visit her.
A new ‘micro hotel’, Vora Villas , inaugurates the third of its rooms or villas carved out of the rocks. An extremely special place to fall in love with Santorini this 2022. Do you want to know more?
In the exclusive town of Imerovigli rises this small hotel with three luxury rooms carved out of the caves -characteristic of the island- and suspended over the sea, on the cliffs that made Santorini famous. The rooms or villas, only for adults , were inspired by the volcanic environment and combine minimalist Cycladic design with custom-made furniture and a calming, chic natural color palette.

Santorini has a peculiarity, and that is that it is not easily accessible, neither for tourists nor for those who want to invest in it. Its orography makes it special even for that, for that reason, construction machinery could not reach Vora's hotel , so for four years its rooms were finished manually. A serious labor of love for the owner, Yannis Bellonias , Santorini native, and Greek architecture and design firm, K-Studio.
“That does not mean that the hotel is too far from leisure: Imerovigli is located five minutes from the capital of Fira ”, they add from the web. This definitely has some advantages: the amazing views of the caldera of Santorini , which from here are incredible.
