The Red Winehouse | Old winery converted into a stylish villa | close to Oia
The Red Winehouse: A Blend of History and Modern Comfort
Step into history and enjoy the charm of a 19th-century winery, thoughtfully redesigned to offer modern comforts in the heart of Santorini. The Red Winehouse is a beautifully restored wine estate that seamlessly combines traditional architecture with sleek, minimal design. Located just 10-15 minutes on foot from the vibrant village of Oia, this private villa offers perfect balance of island tranquility and proximity to Santorini’s most iconic sights.
The Space This spacious 240 sqm villa is spread across two levels, providing an open and flowing layout that’s perfect for both relaxing and socializing. The heart of the house is the impressive main canava (winery cellar), with its high ceilings and domed roof, providing an airy and light-filled space. The large living area, with a dining space and open-plan kitchen, is ideal for gathering with loved ones. With plenty of seating options, you can unwind here during the day, or enjoy a homemade meal together in the comfort of this historical yet modern setting.
The villa features two private bedrooms, each with its own charm, as well as additional sleeping areas on a mezzanine and in a semi-open space. This layout comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests, making it ideal for both groups and more intimate getaways.
A private courtyard of approximately 100 sqm offers multiple seating corners where you can relax, enjoy a book, or sip local wine. The private terrace boasts breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea and the quaint village of Finikia – the perfect spot for watching the sunset.
The Design The Red Winehouse is a true example of local craftsmanship, built with Santorini’s unique volcanic materials, including Aspa (volcanic ash) and Poria (red volcanic stones). These materials give the home an authentic feel, while the concrete floors blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces, enhancing the sense of openness.
The main canava hall, originally designed for wine production, now serves as the villa’s main living-dining area. Built-in stone benches, once used to move wine barrels, now provide additional stepped seating in this spacious and unique part of the home.
More Specifically - On the upper ground level:
Master Bedroom: King-sized bed with an en suite bathroom, offering a serene space to rest.
Second Bedroom: Two connected single beds, perfect for friends or family. Both bedrooms open onto the upper patio, offering direct access to the outdoors.
Second Bathroom: Conveniently located next to the second bedroom.
- On the lower ground level:
A spacious living area with a dining table, open-plan kitchen, and comfortable seating.
Semi-open Sleeping Area: Double bed, perfect for a cozy retreat.
Mezzanine Sleeping Area: Double bed, ideal for a quiet night’s sleep.
Decorated in a minimalist style, the Red Winehouse strikes a perfect balance between comfort and style, with a fully equipped kitchen and plenty of space to entertain indoors or outdoors. Whether dining under the stars in the courtyard or preparing a feast with fresh local ingredients, this is the ideal place to make memories with friends and family.
Guest Access Guests have exclusive access to the entire villa and all its amenities, both inside and out.

Get away to Santorini
Owner arranged pickup at airport and met us at drop off to walk us to the house. She personally showed us around the property and small neighborhood. Great open living room space. Enjoyable outside patio, great for reading and playing cards. Easy 20 minute walk into Oia. So many restaurants to chose from. We had an issue with getting into the house with the key, and the owner came directly over to help us, very responsive

The property was absolutely amazing, far surpassing our expectations!!
Finikia is a lovely village without the crowds found in Oia and Fira. The hosts were great and very helpful with arrival/departure transfers, restaurant and activity recommendations, and overall information about the rest of the island. Checking in an out was also very easy.
Highly recommend staying here for a unique Santorini experience without the crazy crowds!!

Finikia winery house
This house is perfectly located in Finikia with a 5 minute walk to beautiful Oia. We were a group of 7 and the house was big enough for a group of that size. Erofili was very responsive to our needs. My only suggestion to improve the house would be to have perhaps a comfortable couch or chairs for lounging. All in all a great place in a perfect location.

Beautiful and spacious property
We were 4 adults. Great kitchen and amenities. Received a lovely welcome package with wine and cheese and fresh fruit. Location was perfect and very close to Oia for the beautiful views.
Two watch outs: it’s not air conditioned. Main areas stayed cool but the bedrooms are hot. Second is it’s a long walk to the property. You need to be ready for the hike in. The path is not clean and has poo along the path that you need to watch for.
Overall great property and experience. I would strongly recommend.

Great stay in the Red Wine House
My family had a wonderful stay at the Red Winehouse! The house is beautiful and charming, and also quite large. We spent every morning relaxing over breakfast on the large terrace, and every evening enjoying a glass of wine and the cool breezes. The location was perfect since Santorini can be quite crowded. Finikia is a short walk (15min) to Oia and just minutes from the bus stop, but it is away from the crowds. It is a traditional village and full of old Santorini charm. The nearby tavernas we ate at were wonderful. Also the hosts were terrific - Erofili (sp?) was very responsive and helpful both before and during our trip. I highly recommend the Red Winehouse - we would book it again.

Wonderful place to stay
Overall, really loved the space. Plenty of room for party of six. Even though it was hot outside the house was comfortable despite not having AC. Lots of room to relax indoor and outside. Bedding and towels were good. Could use a supply of beach towels. Could use updated cooking pans. Also would be nice if in the lower sleeping area in main room there was a more conventional couch seating area, other than just cushions. A couple area rugs in main area would be a nice addition. We would definitely rent again. We relied on the house contact for recommendations.

Great outdoor spaces!
This property was perfect for us. Close (5 minutes walking) enough to Oía but out of the crowds (and noise) of town.
The home is minimalistic in the ways it’s furnished but has all you need for your stay and the hosts were immediately responsive to all of our questions/needs (I requested a new coffee pot after our first morning and had a brand new one within an hour of my request). The multilevel outdoor spaces were very comfortable and allowed us to enjoy pleasant views while relaxing with a glass of wine.
I would definitely stay here again and recommend the Red Wine House to anyone.

Relaxing in the winery housekeeping and wine
The Red Wine house was delightful. We enjoyed the rustic feel and being in the traditional village was charming and authentic! Taverns and restaurants in the village were the best meals we had on Santorini and we could walk to them and saw some of the best sunsets without fighting the Oia crowds. Irini set up all our airport transfers, met us and provided lots of info. She gave us great recommendations and responded quickly to our requests
Definitely recommend this location if you want to be away from the cruise ship crowds and want to glimpse what is Santorini is really like!!

Wonderful experience!
We loved our stay in the Red Winehouse! The space is unique, spacious, and comfortable...we especially loved the numerous outside spaces to hang out (with great views)! Eleni and Kostos were extremely helpful and accommodating. They set us up with the best experience we had in all of Greece with their friend Pantelis, who took us on his fishing boat to swim into the volcano, into the abandoned villages of Thirasia, onto a delightful beach, complete with two wonderful meals...it was truly an authentic experience that our whole family loved. Thank you Eleni and Kostos and Pantelis...we hope to back one day soon (hopefully for longer next time)!

A perfect, quiet retreat minutes from Oia
The house itself, located a 15-minute walk from the heart of Oia was perfect for our group of 6. We had plenty of space to enjoy each others company without feeling like we were on top of one another, but the best part of our stay was Eleni and her husband, Costas. They welcomed us with open arms to Thira and armed us with advice and recommendations (restaurants, beaches, excursions, etc.) to ensure that we made the most out of our stay!
We had a wonderful stay at the winery. It's decorated in a very spare, open style, with a dramatic great room with lofted ceiling that's even more lovely in person than in the photos. It was perfect for our large group and stayed cool during the heat of the day. Eleni went out of her way to help us with our stay - making dinner recommendations and helping with difficult reservations, helping with our car rental, and welcoming us with breakfast items and homemade preserves. The house is a short walk to Oia, which is as picturesque as anticipated. There are also lovely places to visit in Finikia and a delicious tavern that she recommended for lunch. We did the walk from Oia to Fira one day, which was a highlight of the trip. I recommend renting a car for exploration of the rest of the island and its beaches.

Great property with lots of space and beautiful patio area
Property had plenty of space for 5 and was super happy with it. We were very well taken care of, and got an incredible overview of the island with great recommendations on restaurants and activities from Georgia. Very convenient to Oia, only like a 10-15 minute walk. If you are going to Fira a lot, I would recommend definitely renting a car as it is quite far.
