The Red Winehouse | Old winery converted into a stylish villa | close to Oia
The Red Winehouse: A Blend of History and Modern Comfort
Step into history and enjoy the charm of a 19th-century winery, thoughtfully redesigned to offer modern comforts in the heart of Santorini. The Red Winehouse is a beautifully restored wine estate that seamlessly combines traditional architecture with sleek, minimal design. Located just 10-15 minutes on foot from the vibrant village of Oia, this private villa offers perfect balance of island tranquility and proximity to Santorini’s most iconic sights.
The Space
This spacious 240 sqm villa is spread across two levels, providing an open and flowing layout that’s perfect for both relaxing and socializing. The heart of the house is the impressive main canava (winery cellar), with its high ceilings and domed roof, providing an airy and light-filled space. The large living area, with a dining space and open-plan kitchen, is ideal for gathering with loved ones. With plenty of seating options, you can unwind here during the day, or enjoy a homemade meal together in the comfort of this historical yet modern setting.
The villa features two private bedrooms, each with its own charm, as well as additional sleeping areas on a mezzanine and in a semi-open space. This layout comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests, making it ideal for both groups and more intimate getaways.
A private courtyard of approximately 100 sqm offers multiple seating corners where you can relax, enjoy a book, or sip local wine. The private terrace boasts breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea and the quaint village of Finikia – the perfect spot for watching the sunset.
The Design
The Red Winehouse is a true example of local craftsmanship, built with Santorini’s unique volcanic materials, including Aspa (volcanic ash) and Poria (red volcanic stones). These materials give the home an authentic feel, while the concrete floors blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces, enhancing the sense of openness.
The main canava hall, originally designed for wine production, now serves as the villa’s main living-dining area. Built-in stone benches, once used to move wine barrels, now provide additional stepped seating in this spacious and unique part of the home.
More Specifically
- On the upper ground level:
Master Bedroom: King-sized bed with an en suite bathroom, offering a serene space to rest.
Second Bedroom: Two connected single beds, perfect for friends or family.
Both bedrooms open onto the upper patio, offering direct access to the outdoors.
Second Bathroom: Conveniently located next to the second bedroom.
- On the lower ground level:
A spacious living area with a dining table, open-plan kitchen, and comfortable seating.
Semi-open Sleeping Area: Double bed, perfect for a cozy retreat.
Mezzanine Sleeping Area: Double bed, ideal for a quiet night’s sleep.
Decorated in a minimalist style, the Red Winehouse strikes a perfect balance between comfort and style, with a fully equipped kitchen and plenty of space to entertain indoors or outdoors. Whether dining under the stars in the courtyard or preparing a feast with fresh local ingredients, this is the ideal place to make memories with friends and family.

About the host
Hosted by Vagelis

Hello and welcome to my Vrbo listing! My name is Vagelis, and I am thrilled to be hosting you in my beautiful villa in Finikia, Santorini. I am a proud local of the island and have a deep love and appreciation for its history, culture, and natural beauty, while providing guests with a luxurious and memorable experience is my passion. The villa is a reflection of my love for comfort, style, tradition and attention to detail. Having put my heart into every aspect of its design and decoration, I can ensure that guests have everything they need for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. I am always available to answer any questions and provide recommendations for restaurants, activities, and attractions. I look forward to welcoming you to my villa and to the unique island of Santorini!
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Foinikia because it's a peaceful yet authentic village, perfectly nestled just steps away from Oia's bustling streets. Here, you can genuinely feel Santorini's traditional charm and beauty without the crowds. What we enjoy most is strolling through the narrow cobblestone paths, discovering hidden churches, charming tavernas, and experiencing unforgettable sunsets away from the tourist hustle.
What makes this property unique
The Red Winehouse is truly special because it blends Santorini’s rich history with modern comfort. Originally an old winery, we've preserved many of its traditional features, such as the beautiful stone arches, wine storage niches, and the distinct volcanic architecture. This authentic atmosphere, combined with spacious rooms, a tranquil courtyard perfect for gatherings, and thoughtful touches that reflect the island’s wine-making heritage, make it stand out from other properties. It's not just a place to stay—it’s an experience.
