Mansion Sophia, is located in the peaceful traditional village of Megalochori, a short drive away from the best attractions and beaches of Santorini and just a short stroll from the central square of the village with its pretty churches and picturesque Venetian bell towers. The village, with its winding cobbled pathways, is free of traffic. Mansion Sophia was built around the mid-19th century and inhabited by one of the feudal landlords of the island at that time. These merchants and landlords became wealthy exporting the unique Vinsanto wine, which the island still produces. Megalochori had a particularly strong link with Odessa in Russia, in fact many of the church bells which still toll in the village today are from Russia. The access to the house is through large wooden entrance gates that open into a secluded and very pretty private courtyard, with garden and a beautiful Moroccan-style swimming pool. There is also a smaller courtyard where the guests can enjoy dining «al fresco». The mansion has been beautifully renovated to provide all modern amenities, respecting in the same time its original character and style. Double doors lead directly from the courtyard into a spacious living and dining area with superb high vaulted ceilings and original polished wooden floors. Mansion Sophia has two bedrooms that share one bathroom with modern amenities, one living room and one well-equipped kitchen. It is equipped with all modern amenities including air-conditioning in both bedrooms, free internet access, satellite TV & DVD, Ipod and Ipad docking station and a complimentary mobile phone. Mansion Sophia is the perfect choice for an unforgettable honeymoon or for guests who desire total privacy and relaxation in a stylish and romantic environment.

About the area

Pyrgos Kallistis, located on the enchanting island of Santorini, Greece, is a destination that captures the essence of Greek charm and beauty. This picturesque village is perched atop a hill, offering panoramic views of the island, the sparkling Aegean Sea, and the surrounding vineyards that produce the island's famous wines. Travelers are drawn to Pyrgos for its well-preserved medieval architecture, with narrow winding streets, traditional white-washed houses, and blue-domed churches that create a postcard-perfect scene. The village is crowned by a Venetian castle, known as Kasteli, which is one of the five fortified settlements on the island. Exploring the ruins of this castle provides not only a glimpse into the island's history but also some of the most breathtaking vistas in Santorini. Pyrgos is also celebrated for its authentic Greek atmosphere, less crowded than the more tourist-heavy spots of Oia and Fira, yet brimming with local culture and tradition. Visitors can enjoy leisurely strolls through the village, stopping at quaint cafes and tavernas to sample traditional Greek dishes and the exquisite local wines. For those interested in the spiritual heritage of the island, Pyrgos is home to several Byzantine churches, each with its own unique history and charm. The Monastery of Profitis Ilias, situated on the highest point of Santorini near Pyrgos, is a place of serenity and spiritual reflection, with a small museum showcasing ecclesiastical artifacts and offering yet another vantage point for stunning views. During Easter, Pyrgos transforms into a spectacle of light, as thousands of candles are lit throughout the village, creating an ethereal glow that illuminates the night sky. This tradition is a highlight for many visitors, encapsulating the rich cultural tapestry of the village. Art enthusiasts will find delight in the local galleries, where the works of Greek and international artists are on display. These art spaces often host exhibitions and cultural events that add to the village's vibrant artistic scene. In essence, Pyrgos Kallistis is a treasure trove of history, culture, and natural beauty. It offers a more tranquil and authentic experience of Santorini, making it an ideal destination for travelers seeking to immerse themselves in the island's traditional way of life while enjoying all the scenic splendor that Santorini is renowned for.
