Ducato Wine Village, Volcanic Stone House & Pool
Once a traditional wine cellar built from black volcanic stone, this restored residence offers a private stay for two in Megalochori. Original features from its winemaking past sit alongside whitewashed interiors, antique furnishings and modern comforts. Outside, a stone courtyard and private pool provide space for slow mornings or a swim after exploring the island. The village square, with its tavernas and cafés, is a short walk away, while WiFi and air conditioning make your stay comfortable.
About the Home
Built from black volcanic stone, this former canava was once used for the production of Vinsanto, Santorini's traditional dessert wine. Carefully restored as a private residence, it retains original architectural details, including circular wine production recesses now incorporated into the interior lighting. Inside, whitewashed walls, natural textures, earthy tones and antique furnishings complement the original stonework. The residence accommodates two guests, with a bedroom featuring a double bed, a bathroom with a shower and a comfortable living area. Air conditioning and WiFi provide modern convenience while preserving the building's traditional character. Outside, an enclosed stone courtyard offers a private setting for relaxing by the swimming pool. Surrounded by volcanic stone walls, the outdoor space is well suited to morning coffee, an afternoon swim or spending time together after exploring the island. Beyond the residence, Ducato's concierge team can arrange wine tastings, Greek cooking classes, private dining, sailing cruises and personalised island excursions. The wider Ducato Wine Village collection also welcomes weddings and special celebrations, offering group accommodation and event arrangements upon request. Located in Megalochori, the residence forms part of Ducato Wine Village, a collection of restored traditional buildings, each with its own history and connection to the island.

The Neighborhood
Megalochori has long been connected to Santorini's wine trade. Old cellars, whitewashed houses, vaulted passageways and stone courtyards remain part of the village, with narrow lanes leading to its central square. The square is a short walk away, with tavernas, cafés and local shops. Raki Restaurant serves Greek and Santorinian dishes, while local wineries and vineyards reflect the area's traditions. Wooden doors, enclosed courtyards and former wine stores are still visible among the older houses. Santorini's volcanic coastline is easy to explore from here. Thermis Beach, approximately 1 km away, is a secluded pebble beach beneath the caldera cliffs, while Caldera Beach, around 3 km away, offers dark sand and volcano views. Vlychada Beach, about 5 km away, is known for its sculpted cliffs. Perivolos, around 6 km away, offers black sand and seaside dining, while Perissa, about 7 km away, is popular for swimming and water sports. Red Beach, roughly 7 km away, stands out for its red volcanic cliffs. Further inland, Pyrgos, approximately 2 km away, has winding streets and views across the island. At Akrotiri, around 5 km away, you can visit a prehistoric settlement preserved beneath volcanic deposits. Fira, approximately 6 km away, offers museums, galleries, restaurants and caldera viewpoints. Further afield, Oia, Emporio and Imerovigli offer different views of island life. Wine remains part of daily life around Megalochori. Ducato's concierge can help arrange tastings, winery visits, Greek cooking classes and private dining. Caldera cruises offer a chance to see Santorini from the water, while horse riding, guided hikes and e-bike excursions offer ways to explore on land. The team can also assist with personalised outings and enquiries about weddings or special celebrations across the wider Ducato collection, subject to availability. Back in Megalochori, an evening meal in the square or a walk through the village streets brings you back to the local rhythm.
