Fabulous Santorini Home

The location in Fira is spectacular, right in the heart of the shops and restaurants. An amazing view from the steps outside the front gate. The home was well furnished and Maria and Christina took care of us as if we were family. I would definitely recommend this villa for a family or larger group.

Villa Murat - perfect vacation spot!

Our stay at Villa Murat was the most amazing vacation we could have hoped for. This was for several reasons. Our host, Christina, was so easy to work with. Every time I had a question, she responded immediately. She met us upon arrival and welcomed us, walking us through the villa and explaining the in's and out's of the place. She gave us great recommendations and helped us organize our plans and make reservations at restaurants, etc. Maybe the biggest impact on our trip though, was Maria, our housekeeper. I cannot sing Maria's praises enough! She readied an amazing breakfast for us each day. One night she even cooked us an amazing dinner when our private chef had to quarantine due to sickness. Maria tidied the property everyday and was available for any special requests we had. She even made my birthday special by decorating the villa that day and ordering us a beautiful cake. On the whole, Villa Murat is a dream vacation, from the beautiful, unique property to the service provided by Christina and Maria. We could not have been happier and plan to return at some point. Thank you to our hosts!

Simply the Best

I have to start with the property manager Christina. She met us there on our arrival and from that day forward was always readily available to help us with anything we needed. Thanks to her my daughter had a beautiful birtday cake waiting on our arrival with a wonderful breakfast. She got us great reservations everywhere. She has even been so kind as to help us claim our lost baggage that arrived one day after we left! I would go back there again just to see her. The place is also gorgeous. Sunset views from both the main deck and rooftop. Beautiful interior -meticulously clean. The place is far enough away from the center of town that there is no noise at night but close enough to easily walk to everything. The housekeeper Maria came every day to make us breakfast and to clean dishes. I have never been to a VRBO where I never had to lift a finger. Five stars all the way for this place.

About the host

Hosted by Christina Dimopoulou

Why they chose this property

Filomen Murat, my French grandmother, inherited this villa from her uncle Theofanis Tripolitis. The titles of the family house reach back to before the 1900's. This makes it one of the oldest and most historic houses of Santorini. Its construction is estimated at about 1850-1875, but due to the lack of archives the exact construction date cannot be verified. These kind of houses in the Aegean Sea islands, are rare and unique. They are called “Kapetanospita” (Captain’s Houses) and they are equivalent to American Mansions, since they were the largest private buildings until the 1970's, and only Captains (boat owners) could afford to build and sustain them.

Villa Murat takes its name from my grandmother Filomen Murat, who holds the coat of arms used as the Villa logo from her direct ancestor Antoine Murat. Antoine Murat was appointed Viscount by his first cousin, Joachim Murat, King of Naples and son in Law of Napoleon Bonaparte I, Emperor of the French 1804-1814

What makes this property unique

Personal guest attendance by the Villa Manager responsible for settling your requests for the days you will stay on the island (car rental, restaurant bookings, excursions etc), free wireless Internet access, Bell boy service.
