Explore Santorini
We are an international couple with roots in the Netherlands, Germany and in Greece. Our work took us all over the world, we met on a business trip and decided to start exploring the world together. We get most of our creative energy from being outdoors, close to the sea and under the sun.
With our passion and attention to detail, each property transforms from a house into a home. And slowly slowly throughout your stay the surroundings become so familiar - we believe that you will change from being a visitor to becoming a local.
We have created three unique houses that have been curated with respect for the village, its inhabitants and the surrounding architecture. Experience the magic for yourselves.

Vima Suites
Vima Suites is a private house set on the highest point of the village. It has a spacious patio with shade given by the ever-blooming pink bougainvillea. Two traditional cave rooms have been converted into comfortable bedrooms with en-suite bathroom and give panoramic views over the village and the Aegean Sea. Two other caves form the kitchen and a lush indoor pool to provide luxury and comfort combining traditional architecture and modern elements.

Vima Villa
The local techniques were guiding us during the design of Vima Villa, while we added modern elements to create a unique atmosphere. The soft shapes of the built furniture blend into the scenery while materials like wood and marble work together despite their contrast. The spacious patio invites you to unwind in the shade of the vine while the hot tub provides a relaxing refresh with a panoramic view over the Aegean Sea.

Vima Home
Vima Home has been a family home for centuries. We carefully renovated the property by combining modern elements with the traditional space design to create a unique experience. The organic shapes of the cave-style rooms create a cozy atmosphere in the interior, while the patio of the villa invites you to relax under the colourful Bougainvillea or to daydream overlooking the Aegean Sea.

Our Story
We strive to inspire you by giving a different point of view. Let us share how we imagine your stay by relating the traditional, local and conscious Santorini experience.
The traditional village of Emporio is located on the Southern part of Santorini and is yet untouched by mass tourism. Its picturesque white-washed houses have been built around the medieval castle and the church of Holy Mary on the top of the hill, creating a uniquely serene atmosphere surrounded by locals. While the priest is calling for prayer on Sunday, you can hear the goats descending from the mountain with their bells ringing in the distance.

Rooted on the island, our aim is to share with you the places, people and experiences that we love. We grow our own organic fruits and vegetables on our farm land - for you to taste, but also to supply the restaurant of Sebastian's dad: a little tavern next to the sea, so pure and authentic in its taste and philosophy. There you might meet locals such as the master potter Andreas, who will teach you a lot about life and make you feel the art of pottery in a private pottery class.
