Villa Io: 3BR Historic Villa with Private Pool

Summary:
Tucked in a peaceful corner of Megalochori, Villa Io is a former village schoolhouse turned stylish 3-bedroom retreat with private pool and authentic charm.

The Space:
Welcome to Villa Io, a unique 3-bedroom villa with a private pool, tucked away in a peaceful alcove just a short walk from the village square of Megalochori. Once a local schoolhouse, this historic building has been lovingly restored into a serene, stylish retreat filled with character and island charm.

The villa is nestled along a picturesque winding footpath, framed by bright whitewashed walls and cascading fuchsia flowers. Just minutes away, you’ll find the village square and its renowned tavernas tucked beneath Venetian bell towers—offering both convenience and seclusion.

Inside, Villa Io features vaulted ceilings, arched passageways, and handcrafted lighting fixtures that blend seamlessly with antique furnishings and minimal décor. The interiors are naturally cool, thanks to the original pumice-stone construction—ideal for hot summer days.

Outside, the vibrant red courtyard contrasts beautifully with the crystal-clear private pool, providing a striking backdrop for sunbathing or stargazing under the mood lighting after sunset. Whether relaxing by the pool or enjoying meals outdoors, this villa offers a private slice of Santorini's history and hospitality.

Perfect for families or small groups, Villa Io delivers a tranquil, authentic Greek island experience, balancing tradition with modern comfort.
