Delve into the soul of the caldera by staying in this beautiful and cosy beach house, nestled in Armeni Bay, the hidden gem of Oia! Accessed either on foot through 300 steps, or by our private boat service. Perfect for those with adventurous mind and energy!
This cute and cosy beach house, is located in a truly unique spot of the caldera, at the foot of the cliff where stands Oia. It is located in the small, and picturesque Armeni bay, which only numbers a few houses, a restaurant and a pier where private yachts dock. The villa is located only few steps away from the sparkling blue waters. What makes Armeni Bay special, is that is not accessible by car. The two options for accessing Armeni bay are the following: 1)There is a path of 300 steps, linking this small port with the centre of the village of Oia. It is a 15-20 minutes hike through steps. You would need to be reasonably fit and like exercising for these steps. 2) We have our own private boat, and captain, for transporting our guests, upon check in, check out and during their stay. We offer this service (included in the price of the house) in order to be able to accommodate guests that are not willing to use the steps. From Armeni bay, the boat will drop you off in Ammoudi bay. Ammoudi bay, is also a small bay with seafood restaurants. However it is also accessible by car, as there is a proper road. From Ammoudi bay you can either use your car/scooter/atv or take a taxi in order to explore the rest of the island. It is only a 2 minutes drive from the village of Oia. In the village of Oia, you will find a great variety of shops and restaurants.
The beach house consists of three levels. The ground floor features a small dining area and kitchenette. A bedroom with a double bed and an en suite bathroom are located at the back. The second level is an open loft with two single beds (can also be prepared as a large double bed). The third floor is a bedroom with an en suite bathroom. The bedroom offers a double bed, a single bed and one small single bed that can sleep a child. The private terrace right at the seafront is perfect for lying back with a good book; sunbathing and enjoying home cooked meals. The beach in front the house is a volcanic pebble beach, perfect for swimming and kayak excursions to the nearby small bays. We provide the kayaks! In addition, you could always, walk up to the village of Oia, and enjoy the local sites there, or rent a car and explore the rest of Santorini. This beach house and its location, are both very special, and are ideal for sea lovers and people who are looking to escape the pressures of fast paced living.

PLEASE NOTE that in rare cases of bad weather conditions we cannot use the boat. During the touristic season that the house operates (mid April - mid October), bad weather conditions are rare, but can still occur. We always follow the instructions of the local port authorities and our guests' safety is our top priority. In such cases our guests can either use the steps to go to the village, or we offer alternative accommodation in the main town of Oia.
