About this property

Calderimi Traditional Family House

We would like to welcome you to our beautiful island of Santorini, to experience the hospitality and the friendliness of the local people and our old traditions which are only known in our island.

Our family owns two old houses in the old, traditional area of Fira, which is the capital of Santorini. We have recently renovated them and we did our best to ensure that they would keep their character and unique style: high ceiling roofs and white washed walls, made of thick stone, to keep the rooms cool during the summer and warm during the winter. As the old inhabitants didn't have access to wood as a building material, they used to 'carve' their houses and their furniture into stone hills or caves.

It's a perfect place for couples,families, elder people, and everyone who will appreciate one of the most beautiful and quiet areas of the island, while being just a breath away from the main square and the magnificent caldera view.

Calderimi house is 60 sq.m. and it can accommodate 2-3 people.
It consists of 2 bedrooms, one with a queen size bed and the other one with one single bed. The second room can host one more person. The kitchen, big and comfortable with a dining area, is fully equipped and has all modern facilities. The bathroom is made according to the local traditional style and painted in a yellow ochre.

The house has also a private terrace with table and chairs, decorated with flowers and plants.

perfect place to stay in Santorini
The apartment is in the ideal location close to restaurants, shops, sightseeing, and everything you could possibly want to do in Santorini. Vivi was incredibly helpful in answering all of our questions, suggesting restaurants to eat at, and recommending places to tour.

Must Stay in Marvelous Fira/Santorini
My husband and I, enjoyed our stay in this beautiful apartment. It is located a short walking distances to Caldera, restaurants, shops, the old port (a great place to enjoy a sunset diner), and it’s very close to the main bus terminals (if you want to venture on your own to other parts of the island).

First visit to Santorini
We had a wonderful stay at this property. It is located in a quiet area of Fira, but close enough to the caldera rim to walk to restaurants and bars. Easy walk to bus station to access other parts of island. The host's recommendations for restaurants and catamaran sunset cruise were perfect. Thank you!

Perfect
My partner and I booked this place very last minute but the host was very quick to respond and get us in! The house was so amazing and a great location. A little off the road from the main street so it was quiet but a minute walk to get to all the restaurants.

Nice place to stay in Santorini
Vivi was very nice. The house is very close to the tourist area of Fira and is very quiet at night. The cake Vivi left for us was delicious too. The house is charming and we enjoyed the outside patio. Vivi was very flexible with check in and out. Thank you for such a nice stay in Fira.

Our stay was WONDERFUL! our host, Bibi, was extremely gracious and helpful — providing delicious honey cake upon our arrival; helping to make transportation arrangements to and from the ferry port, and providing luggage storage after we checked out. The property was very clean, comfortable, and charming! We strongly recommend that you consider staying there if you are in Fira, Santorini!

Lovely, authentic property
This property was well equipped and very homey. The hostess was very attentive and helpful. Additionally the home was very well located with easy access to the best spots on the island. We enjoyed sitting outside soaking up the sun. We appreciated Vivi organizing transport to and from the ferry port. Highly recommend.

Séjour de 4 nuits en juin 2023
Logement rustique proche de la station de bus (pratique pour visiter le reste de l'île) et du centre ville. Lits confortables mais pas de volet ni de store dans les chambres. Ventilateur au plafond de la chambre et climatisation uniquement dans la pièce avec un lit simple mais cela était suffisant. Problèmes: serviettes de toilette tachées, moisissures sur le plan de travail en carrelage de la cuisine, insectes écrasés sur les murs de la salle de bain, lave linge moisi. Cela a été signalé à la propriétaire pendant notre séjour, qui n'a montré aucune considération. Peu d'aménagement dans la cuisine: 2 plaques électriques et peu d'ustensile de cuisine (1 casserole et 1 poêle). Tapage nocturne le samedi soir jusqu'à 5 heures du matin (boîte de nuit ou soirée organisée à proximité) sinon les autres nuits ont été calmes. Le rapport qualité/prix est décevant mais cela n'est sans doute pas un cas isolé à Santorin. On a apprécié de pouvoir déposer nos bagages avant le check-in.

Très belle expérience
Un super accueil de Andréas et une belle conclusion avec Vivi. Des hôtes très accueillant (merci aux gâteaux de Pâques de Vivi) , emplacement super : très calme tout en étant très proche du centre de vie de Fira et du Vieux Port. La literie est super, le logement est spacieux et ressemble à 100% aux photos. La terrasse est agréable, mais nous n'avons pas eu la météo idéale pour en profiter au maximum :( Il manque juste peut être d'ustensiles de cuisine, mais c'est mon côté français certainement :) En conclusion : je conseille ce logement !

Wonderful apartment to explore Santorini
We (couple) booked the studio for a week and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Vivi is a warm and generous host and the studio (one large bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom) is very comfortable and spacious for a week long stay. It is centrally located near the caldera for the well known and stunning views and bars / eateries. It is also close to the bus station, local bakery and grocery shops. Despite it's central location it is in a quiet area of Thira. Transfer from the airport was easy too. We highly recommend this property. Thank you again Vivi.

Convenient location with a stellar host.
Vivi was a wonderful host, going above and beyond to facilitate our first visit to Santorini. The AC kept the interior nice and cool, and the bathroom is wonderfully authentic. Be aware the listing is showing two different units — be sure you know which one you are booking! Also, note the only chairs are outside or at the kitchen table. There is no sofa or lounge chairs for relaxing, and it gets quite hot in the front patio without shade; however there is a patio umbrella shared with the other unit that helped a lot. For a stay in Fira, this is ideally located.

A very well presented, comfortable and welcoming property in an ideal location for shopping and buses, but also far enough away from the two main roads so there was no traffic noise. Very welcoming owners. Useful literature available for sights to see and places to go.
