About this property

Spacious Luxury Private Villa - Pool - Ocean Views

Welcome to ‘The Winery Estate’ a unique blend of traditional architecture, history and style coupled with modern convenience. Accommodating 12 guests with indoor and outdoor facilities it is a perfect blend of location, comfort and convenience for your stay in Santorini.

The Winery Estate is ideally located in the peaceful village of Megalochori - One of the true gems of Santorini. The property’s location means an easy stroll will take you to the picturesque village square, which plays host to an array of quaint tavernas and shops, along with a mini market and a locally renowned bakery. Its central setting allows for a short drive to all parts of the island, including the Caldera, Fira, Oia, Amoudi Bay and the beaches of Perissa and Kamari. The Winery Estate is the perfect base for all your activities on Santorini and ensures easy access to the best that the island has to offer whilst also providing a relaxing and peaceful getaway when required.

Dating back to the 17th century, The Winery Estate was originally called 'Canava Beko' and exported its wine all over the Aegean. You will notice that the floors are all ever so slightly sloping so when the wine was pressed, it would naturally run into the large pits in the ground, called "muster pits", from here it would be paled out and once in the barrels it would be stored lined up on each side of the main chamber (now the living room and kitchen). These centuries old muster pits are still visible in the property however are covered with glass that supports up to 300kg of weight. The property retains many of the original features, even the old metal pulley which would hoist the barrels on to the backs of donkeys for transport and is still hanging from the ceiling in the living room.

Around 1930 Canava Beko stopped producing wine. The property was abandoned and fell into disrepair, which was the condition in which we found and fell in love with this unique property. Starting in 2008 Canava Beko has undergone a loving 7 year restoration and modernisation bringing the property up to an immaculate standard to ensure a comfortable and carefree stay for all guests for what is now lovingly called ‘The Winery Estate ’

Furnished with care and attention to detail with pieces chosen to compliment unique architectural style, the property comfortably accommodates 12 guests in complete privacy.

The main house sleeps 10 guests with 4 air conditioned bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and features a large fully equipped kitchen including all appliances, cutlery and crockery as well as a lounge and dining area with a open fire place to comfortably accommodate all guests. The lounge area features a flat screen TV, Netflix and a DVD player with a broad selection of films for those stay indoors nights. Laundry facilities, linen and beach towels are provided.

In addition, the ‘Bergonia Suite’ is a fully equipped, self-contained cavern house accommodating 2 guests, with bathroom and jacuzzi, kitchenette, a dining terrace, and its own entrance off the pool terrace, perfect for romantic nights in.

Outside, the estate includes 3 large private terraces: The Pool Terrace, with a large pool (40sq meters), loungers and pagoda; the Roof Terrace with a pagoda, hammock, loungers and dining area, perfect for all day sun worshipping or siestas in the shade and the Main Terrace, with a double, built in barbecue and a dining space for 12 guests as well as a comfy seating area with shade. All terraces have stunning views over the local vineyards and family churches in the village as well as the ancient windmills of Vlychada and the Aegean Sea beyond and are perfect for relaxing, dining and entertaining.

The Winery Estate truly is an exceptional residence that should not be missed and is sure to make your holiday to Santorini a memory to treasure.

The host was super helpful and friendly and much appreciated. Santorini is a wonderful place, there were nice shops and cafes nearby. But the acoustics made sleeping impossible, any cough or door opening echoed throughout the place like a concert hall. I was also not prepared for the barking dogs, meowing cats and crowing roosters all night long. There was so little hot water that only one or two people got hot showers per night.

Thank you for your feedback and for your kind words about our hospitality. We’re glad you enjoyed the location with its nearby shops and cafés. Our villa is set in a peaceful natural environment away from the busiest areas, which many guests appreciate for the calm and tranquility. At the same time, being surrounded by nature does mean the presence of animals such as dogs, cats, and roosters, which are unfortunately outside of our control. Regarding hot water, we use solar heating, which is usually very efficient here in Santorini, given the climate. For times when the demand is higher or when the sun is limited, we also have an electric water heater available to ensure guests’ comfort. We appreciate your comments and will continue working on improvements to provide the best possible experience. We truly value your input and hope to welcome you again in the future

Perfect for our group

We loved the Winery Estate for our annual "sisters vacation". Megalochori is more relaxed than other towns, which was just what we wanted. The pool, which got lots of use, was always clean. The house was so comfortable and inviting after a long day of sightseeing. We enjoyed the sbort walk to the bakery/grocery everyday. Our host was always very pleasant and helpful. We had a wonderful and memorable experience at the Winery Estate and would highly recommend.

Great Family Week in Santorini

A family of 11, we loved our week. The Villa was very pretty and in a less busy area, walking distance to the cute town of Megalochori. The host and villa manager were very helpful before and during the trip and gave great suggestions. Particularly some of the restaurants. All of the rooms were very cute and the pool was great to have. We enjoyed sailing, the archeological site in Akrotiri, sunset at the heart of santorini, a nearby winery and some of the beaches. A magical week!

Beautifully renovated villa

We were extended family staying in Santorini for a family wedding. The Villa was beautiful and has been sympathetically restored. As it is an old winery it is amazingly cool in the heat of the day. The Villa has everything you need and I love the way they don’t skimp on anything. The Villa owner Sarah was so helpful in advance & also her manager Pedros was always on hand for queries. Sarah arranged for her driver Panos to pick us up from the airport and then he made himself available to take us everywhere all week. He was a star!

Gorgeous, Blissful & Happy Vacation

How luck are we - was our consistent refrain during our stay. The villa was gorgeous and much larger than we pictured. The property is well maintained and being close to horses and mules added to the magic of our stay. The only downside was we had to request housing to come at least every other day to empty our trashcans. Since you cannot flush TP this was something we needed. We also had to request the pool cleaners a few times. These were small issues and overall one of the most beautiful places we have ever stayed. The host and house manager were lovely. The house manager stocked our fridge prior to arrival so we had yummy snacks and water the moment we arrived. If you need a fabulous villa in Megalochori this is the spot!

A fab week’s holiday!

Despite some very unseasonal weather for May - rain and cold wind - we have had a fantastic week and we were sad to leave. The room above the kitchen is great for children (not toddlers) but not really suitable for adults as there is little floor or hanging space and access is by a fairly steep spiral staircase. Petros the property manager was exceptional in his care and going the extra mile for us. One of our party needed medical attention during the week and Petros’s help was invaluable. We are truly grateful and quite frankly, don’t know what we would have done without him! With Petros’s support we were still able to have a fantastic stay in The Winery Estate. Would recommend!

Fantastic Stay

The property is a special place and the owners did such a wonderful job in keeping some of the old winery intact and included in the decor. There are several steep stairs to climb to enter the house which was fine for us but may be an issue for some with mobility challenges. As this is a cave home it can get a bit loud inside (acoustics) when everyone is laughing, playing games but I’m not sure how this could be softened some. The home was well stocked and located in a small town away from the really busy part of the island which we all appreciated. We got to see chickens, roosters, cats, donkeys, horses and even homing pigeons pretty much every day which added to the uniqueness of the property. You will need a car if you plan to explore the island and you should! There is so much to see! Sarah was very quick to respond to our questions and anything we needed and we appreciated her recommendations on restaurants. We also used her recommendation of a local driver Panos to do a day tour and he was wonderful! Fantastic stay overall and would certainly recommend booking here for a family or group! Thank you for your hospitality and allowing us to stay in your beautiful home.

An amazing holiday!

This spacious and beautiful villa was the perfect spot for my husband and me, our adult children and partners as well as my sister and husband. It is renovated in a spectacular manner and no effort was spared to make it appealing and comfortable. Sarah the owner was full of information and responsive to any question or need. She and Petros arranged a yacht trip for all of us, initiated as a surprise for my husband and me by our children. It was glorious. The south end of the island is every bit as stunning as is Fira and Oia. Petros took very good care of every need during the week and he was a wealth of information about the island. On his recommendation, of our group walked up the hill to Pyrgos to see the sunrise. One of our daughters ran every morning to a new place and was so pleased by the variety of landscape afforded her. We all enjoyed the restaurants in Megalachori, the bakery was fabulous and one of the restaurants was a perfect spot for morning coffee. The pool was always sparkling clean and each of us enjoyed having a dip sometime during each day. Some of our party did the walk from Fira to Oia and raved about the experience. Two of them even walked back to Fira! We loved Persia beach, swimming and snorkeling there. Panos the driver was available any time we asked for his services. He was prompt and very professional. Thank you to all who contributed to a wonderful week away in the glorious Santorini sun.

Spectacular Grecian Experience.

We arrived after a long journey to this amazing home in the middle of town very close and in walking distances to the adorable town with small shops and fabulous restaurants. We were greeted by a driver named Yanni who picked us up and brought us to a hotel the night before our stay in your home started. He again picked my husband and I up and the next morning to bring us to the winery estate. Mark the house manager greeted us and went over all the details of what we needed and showed us a refrigerator full of snacks, fruits and drinks after out long journey. The house was definitely the Grecian Experience filled will beautiful decor, cave like ceilings throughout, outdoor views and a refreshing pool for our relaxing enjoyment through your stay. Mark was attentive to problems that occurred with an electrical issue and was always very gracious and helpful. I rented this home with my husband and seven friends who tagged along my trip while I enjoyed my oldest daughter’s wedding at a local winery. By the end of the week Mark felt like family. My only problem with the whole experience was the local cat population that multiplied due to the a few of my friends would feed them. They became slightly more aggressive trying to get into the property. My advice would be not to feed the animals.. unless you want Company your entire week every time you venture out to the beautiful outdoor space. I was told that the cats were being relocated so maybe that will not occur in the future. We rented a vehicle with the help of Mark which is the best thing to do to explore the whole island. I would take a take the opportunity to take the walk from Fira to Oia, my friends raves about their experience. I would go to Perrisa beaches to swim, horse back ride along them, rent a yacht or catamaran for an evening cruise if you are interested in the full experience. Everyone was warm and welcoming wherever you went. The winery estate was a fabulous place to come home to at the end of the day to relax at the pool and then walk to the town for dinner. I could go on and on. Thanks you Sarah it was an amazing experience in your home, we will return.

Thank you for your review Lisa, We are very pleased that you enjoyed our villa, the village and that Mark looked after you very well. We do ask guests not to feed the cats as the lady (Maria) across the valley feeds them, but they do prefer shop brought food such as whiskers and will travel over for it. These cats have now been taken to a friends house in the next village. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future Kind regards Sarah

The Winery Estates is the perfect spot for the trip of a lifetime!

What a wonderful place the Winery Estates is and what a beautiful island Santorini is and the town of Megalochori! We couldn't have picked a better place for our group of 10. After reading all of the reviews I just had to stay at the Winery and was not disappointed. Two families with ages 13, 16,17, 25, 26, 27 and 4 adults! There was lots of space at the villa to be together or have some separate space. The one cave house was perfect for my son and his wife who wanted to have some alone time. The location was also perfect for us - close enough to all of the towns by transfer or by bus yet not in the middle of the hustle and bustle. We did walk to the bakery every morning and then again after dinners for ice cream. The ice cream is to die for! We were frequent visitors and got to know the family that runs the bakery. Panos the winery property manager came to visit every morning and was excellent, offering suggestions of things that we might like to do or sights we might like to see. We took a private catamaran ride at his suggestion which toured us through the waters of Santorini stopping to swim at several locations. They brought us to a local seafood restaurant on the shore and had wine and cold drinks and water on board. I can't say enough about how beautiful the sailing was and about our captain Yanni and Chris. In the cold dreary nights of the New York winters I will remember it will fond memories. Sharing it with my family and friends was a special treat I will always remember. We went to a lovely beach in Perissa complete with sushi for lunch and local Greek food and dancing in the evening! Our time at the Winery was comfortable and luxurious. The kitchen was outfitted for cooking and there was an outside grill for our use as well. The pool was wonderful for chilling and relaxing after a day of sightseeing. Our hosts Sarah and Panos had an assortment of cheeses, meats and wines in the refrigerator for our arrival which was lovely. Panos arranged the transfer to and from the airport which made our travel easy. This was a trip of a lifetime! The winery was a perfect villa for our group and the perfect location for us to enjoy the island of Santorini. I only hope to visit again one day! ευχαριστώ Kim, Jay, Rina, Steve, Thomas, Greg, Nikko, Morgan , Coty & Lindsay.

Relaxing at the Winery Estate

Sarah was extremely helpful in the run up to our trip and organised the car hire, which was essential for exploring the island, as well as the taxi to / from the airport. The house itself is large, with lovely views and outside areas for relaxing. The five bedrooms are all well appointed, although we didn't use the separate one by the pool, which is pretty much self-contained. UK Netflix was an added bonus for the children, who also slept in the platform bedroom above the kitchen, which they loved as it was like a tree house. The kitchen had lots of equipment so cooking was easy. Others have noted the steps up to the property, which were no problem for us, and the driveway is steep and narrow, which I imagine could intimidate some. Having the village and the bakery a short walk away was great, and we ate out three times in Megalochori at different places - all excellent. In short, it's a great place to spend time, but also a convenient central location to explore the island, from Perissa black sand beach in the south to Oia in the north. It's in a 'real' bit of Santorini, with locals living around, as well as donkeys, horses and mules to pet and feed next door! I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

An amazing stay

Our stay at the winery was excellent from start to finish, Sarah is a great host she sent a taxi to pick us up from the airport and drop us off again free of charge. She arranged car hire to be dropped off at the villa the next day which we found very useful. The villa itself is fantastic the option to take a dip in the pool everyday was great. The villa is minutes walk away from a bakery and the village square which has an array of tavernas and local shops. Overall we had a blast and would definitely come back.

Weeding Week Holiday

We stayed at the Winery Estate for one week at the end of August as a group of 8 adults and 4 children (ranging from under 2 to 14 years old) Transfers to and from the airport were included and went off without a hitch, so easy, on time and the air con was welcome in the heat! Arriving to the villa itself, the pictures don’t do the grandeur of the property justice… It’s been restored beautifully and all the rooms are clean and comfortable – As a large group we had more than enough room and never felt like we were on top of one another… The outdoor dining tables are great and meant we could all come together at dinner time. (Some of the best nights we had were all spent together on the terrace!) There is a self-contained double room next to the pool which is gorgeous and such a love nest for a couple… It was perfect for us to have our own space away from the main villa as we were here to celebrate our wedding. The walk into Megalochori is easy and pram friendly – Every night, even if we chose not to eat out, we would still walk down after dinner to the square for an ice cream. Megalochori itself has everything you could need - We did hire a car for a supermarket run which would be necessary if you’re looking to be self-catering and not eat out all of the time. Sarah arranged the car for us so we didn’t even need to think about this when we arrived! The car was dropped off and picked up with no issues - The choice of restaurants in Megalochori and the few bars are plenty if you’re wanting to stay in a more quiet area of Santorini. It’s a beautiful little town with all the blue domes, churches and winding streets you associate with Santorini – There are some stunning views as you walk into the town from the villa. Through the whole booking process Sarah was fantastic and quick to reply to any queries I had, we arranged a car seat, high chair and travel cot for the baby and of course it was all at the villa when we arrived with no problems. Mark the villa manager in Santorini was equally as helpful and ran through everything with us when we arrived and came a couple of times during our stay to check in and confirm pick up of the hire car etc. It was perfect for our large group and really felt like a special property. From start to finish it was fantastic and we’re already wanting to book to come back to Santorini – Even just as a couple we will definitely be taking a look at Sarah’s other properties on HomeAway.

Don’t stay anywhere else!

We loved the house, the pool, the neighborhood, and the entire experience of Santorini. If you want to have a vacation away from the chaos of tourists and cruise ships, stay at this little gem of a house. It was heaven, and so was the neighborhood. Love, love, love! Don’t get sucked in by the flash of the tourist spots. You can still see those places and then escape back to the winery. I give this property my highest recommendation.

Why they chose this property

The Winery Estate is ideally located in the peaceful village of Megalochori - One of the true gems of Santorini. The property’s location means an easy stroll will take you to the picturesque village square, which plays host to an array of quaint tavernas and shops, along with a mini market and a locally renowned bakery. Its central setting allows for a short drive to all parts of the island, including the Caldera, Fira, Oia, Amoudi Bay and the beaches of Perissa and Kamari. The Winery Estate is the perfect base for all your activities on Santorini and ensures easy access to the best that the island has to offer whilst also providing a relaxing and peaceful getaway when required.

What makes this property unique

Around 1930 Canava Beko stopped producing wine. The property was abandoned and fell into disrepair, which was the condition in which we found and fell in love with this unique property. Starting in 2008 Canava Beko has undergone a loving 7 year restoration and modernisation bringing the property up to an immaculate standard to ensure a comfortable and carefree stay for all guests for what is now lovingly called ‘The Winery Estate ’

Furnished with care and attention to detail with pieces chosen to compliment unique architectural style, the property comfortably accommodates 12 guests in complete privacy.
