About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Incredible caldera views! Full sunset, private, spacious - in the heart of Oia
100 sq meters of traditional cave house - 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, spread over 3 levels of 100 square meters of private terraces. At Oia's heart - incredible volcano, caldera & all year round sunset views, easy access, and remarkable privacy - just breathtaking!
The traditional cave home style of the villa is complemented by antique Santorini furniture and natural fabrics. Opening off the well-equipped kitchen and framing the view of the caldera, our unique dining loggia may soon become your favourite room in the house. There are 3 ensuite bedrooms, two on the main level, and one with a separate entrance off the intermediate terrace. The space and privacy our villa offers, along with the infinity plunge pool, light-filled rooms, the uninterrupted caldera views and central location, place it in a category of its own.
As we are at the top of the village, access to our property is remarkably easy. There are hardly any steps to reach us, although there are steps in between the levels of the villa. However, we can arrange a porter service for you baggage if needed.
Furthermore, the bus station is 10 minutes walk away, and the nearest car park is only 40 metres from our door.
The villa includes a landline phone with free calls to landlines throughout Greece. You will be able to call us anytime you need advice, and we also provide detailed information about Oia and Santorini, and recommendations of things to do. A variety of drinks and snacks await you in the complimentary welcome basket and coffee, tea, etc are replenished daily.
Daily housekeeping is also included.
By the Mill is available to rent throughout the year and is well equipped for the cooler months, with heating, warm duvets and the ever present caldera and sunset view, 12 months of the year.
Air conditioning, umbrellas and shady tents ensure you are protected from the heat in the summer months, and the temperature of the plunge pool can be adjusted to suit your preference.
Oia is the jewel of Santorini, one of the most beautiful islands in the world. Apart from the amazing caldera and volcano views, 'by the mill' has the added bonus of year round full sunset viewing from the privacy of our 3 spacious terraces. You are within minutes walk of Oia's wonderful restaurants and numerous boutiques, or take the steps down for a swim in Ammoudi bay, visible from our villa, and enjoy some barbecued fish for lunch.

Simply the best
It's impossible to describe the ten days we spent here and do it justice! Our private, beautiful, comfortable villa had its own perfect sunset view (without any need to go further than the private plunge pool or the deck) and we had everything we needed or requested from the owner and her amazing "family" of support during our entire stay. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't spend your whole Greece vacation on Santorini. Just tell them you're staying By the Mill!

Stunning!
This property was absolutely stunning. We traveled with our adult children and had a blast. Everything was beautiful, clean and beyond our expectations. Judith was great with communication and the drivers we used through her were great and very helpful! We highly recommend this property and hopefully will be back some day . Thank you!

Great stay at By the Mill!
Our stay at the villa was spectacular! Great space, and the view of the Caldera was beautiful! The host, Judith, was the most gracious and accommodating host that I have ever worked with! I had a lot of questions before our stay, and she always answered quickly and even reached out to our sunset sail company to see if they offered towels. I would highly recommend staying at this villa for so many reasons!

AMAZING
We loved our stay at By the Mill! When the gate was opened to the view it made me gasp….pictures can’t describe how gorgeous it is! Judith was very helpful advising us on activities, reservations, transportation, etc. The location in Oia can’t be beat…steps away from shops and restaurants, but much more private than other villas that we passed by. I loved drinking coffee each morning in the outdoor dining room off the kitchen, and we enjoyed cocktails each night on the upper terrace with an unbeatable view of the sunset. We were truly sad to leave this morning, but we will look forward to returning.

A mix of serenity, perfect, beauty and fun
We had 3 couples, and the space was great. Yes, one couple had to sleep in single beds, but the overall home was a great place for 3 couples. We enjoyed the town, we enjoyed the pool, the patio, the local restaurants, and everything. One morning we walked to the local store, we brought back some fresh breads to eat while we had coffee.
The home worked very well. The owner was helpful, and we used the recommended transportation. "Let Billy", I'll never forget that statement. They worked so hard on our baggage. We had good wifi. We slept well. Being able to take a shower while looking out to the Aegean sea sounds weird, but quite luxurious.
I wouldn't plan on doing much laundry here, but there is a working washer and a line to dry clothes. We did a little laundry, but there isn't a dryer and the weather doesn't dry clothes to well.
I wouldn't change a thing. If I can ever stay in Santorini again, I hope this is where I can stay.

This property was even better than pictured. Amazing view perfect accommodation and walking distance to everything you could need. The restaurant recommendations from Judith were perfect and the pictures of the property does not do the property justice. It was private but also close to everything. It was our little oasis. We will be coming back 1000%.

I know a lot of other reviews probably say amazing, but there right. As usual pictures don't do it justice, it's stunning. A great combination of being very close to all the activities in Oia but not right where all the tourist crowds are. Would definitely book this again.
