Ducato Wine Village, 19th Century Mansion & Pool
In Megalochori, this historic mansion once housed a winemaking family above their winery and cellar. Restored interiors, antique furnishings and original wine-production features preserve its story, while five double bedrooms accommodate up to ten guests. A separate poolside studio adds privacy, while the courtyard, swimming pool and rooftop terraces offer space to unwind overlooking the village and vineyards. The village square is a short walk away, with WiFi and air conditioning adding comfort.
About the Home
Once home to a prominent Santorinian winemaking family, this historic mansion has been carefully restored while retaining much of its original architecture. The upper floor served as the family residence, while the ground floor housed the winery and cellar, where Vinsanto wine was produced and exported as far as Russia. Today, the building's vaulted interiors, arched doorways and original wine-production troughs preserve this connection to Megalochori's past. Inside, whitewashed curved walls, natural textures and carefully chosen antique furnishings complement the original stonework. The mansion accommodates up to ten guests across five bedrooms with double beds and three bathrooms. Arranged across two floors, the main residence has a kitchen and bathroom on each level, offering a comfortable layout for families and friends travelling together. Beside the swimming pool, a separate studio houses the fifth bedroom and its own bathroom, providing additional privacy while remaining connected to the main residence. Air conditioning and WiFi add everyday convenience. Outside, the private courtyard and swimming pool provide space to gather and relax. A hammock and furnished outdoor areas offer places to unwind, while the rooftop terraces overlook Megalochori's traditional rooftops and surrounding vineyards. 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 mansion forms part of Ducato Wine Village, a collection of restored historic residences, each with its own story and connection to Santorini's winemaking heritage.
