Glistening Cycladic volumes frame sea views at this cliffside Santorini vacation home – now for sale through Welcome Beyond.

Oia Villa is a traditional cave home that’s been dug into the Caldera Cliff in the heart of Oia village – the most photogenic of the island’s postcard hamlets, 15 km north of Fira. Its owner has transposed their own Scandinavian traditions to the Greek island, renovating the property and its neighbouring dwelling as minimalist retreats for slow-living.

The one-bedroom Greek island home is listed for €625,000 and has a bedroom and lounge with seating and cubbies carved out of ancient stone. Arched cut-aways allow light to flow from the large terrace into the depths of the bedroom, amplified by the simple colour palette.

While the Santorini property is on the small side, there’s potential to connect it to the neighbouring villa – also for sale for €575,000 and pictured below – to make a larger family home. And due to its serene setting, the property is a popular holiday let offering commercial income.
