The quiet
side of
Santorini

Looking for Santorini without the crowds, the queues and the hotel corridors?

Sienna is a small eco resort of seven independent homes in an olive garden at Exo Gialos, two kilometres from Fira, on the island’s quiet eastern slope.

Every villa has its own entrance and a secluded terrace; most have a private pool with a sundeck. Inside: vaulted Cycladic ceilings, thick cool walls, full kitchens, stone basins and ceiling fans.

Xenonas Luca
the apartment

The hidden gem of the resort: a newly built, fully air-conditioned apartment of 80 m² with two bedrooms — a double and two singles — a full kitchen and a large furnished balcony. No pool of its own, but the whole garden around it, and the same quiet.

Services

With homes like these, the service has to live up to them. Our small team is on site every day and arranges whatever the stay needs.

Most of it is optional and depends only on your wishes: groceries delivered to the kitchen, a car waiting at the door, a boat for the day, a table booked where the locals eat.

Bathroom with stone basins, towels and toiletries ready
