History

The Stone House is made of local volcanic stone and it used to operate as a “canava” – a traditional winery and cellar, producing the Santorini signature sweet wine Vinsanto. Vinsanto is known all around the world and for centuries was among the island’s most lucrative businesses. In fact, before the Russian Revolution it was widely exported to Russia to be used as Holly Communion. The name of Vinsanto, given by the Venetian merchants, derives from the words “vin” and “santo” which mean wine and saint accordingly.

The sunken cylindrical troughs, used for Vinsanto’s distilling, have been turned into unique lighting features. Although the house has been renovated, all the elements that tell the story of Santorini’s housebuilding tradition have been preserved and respected in their primal form. This historic building invites you to a perfect accommodation experience characterized by creativity and comfort.
