Villa Anemolia is an eco-friendly vacation rental designed with utmost simplicity by MPLUSM Architects, located in Megalochori, an introverted and quiet village in Santorini, Greece. Completed in 2013, the renovation luxurious villa offers a modest 1,291 square feet (120 square meters) of living space.

This eco-friendly vacation villa can be rented, with rates ranging from $391 – $502 per day, from here.

From the architect: Dealing with a preexisting house, we wanted Villa Anemolia to reach a level of heightened simplicity. The three vaulted rooms were preserved with minimum alterations.

All previous furniture was removed -we chose built-in beds, wardrobes that merge with the walls and wooden sofa beds that flank the living area. Traditional vaulted structures in Santorini are typically cavernous, embedded in the volcanic soil and this building is no exception: windows open only to the side of the courtyard.

Thus we opted for additional light sources: new skylights and small wall recesses with embedded lights offer a dispersal of luminosity from hidden light sources. New planted areas in the courtyard and roof terrace upgrade all outdoor areas and become the primary backdrop for a pleasant stay.

The villa can accommodate 2-6 guests with minimum three-night stay. The villa has two independent bedrooms each with its own private bathroom. The premises is so spacious that two more guests can be accommodated on the sofabeds in the living room which is also very roomy.

The kitchen has all its appliances for your conveniences, also a fully furnished garden. We have a heated Jacuzzi, roof garden for private relaxation with a view of the community.
