Spiti Barbara, Santorini (Thira) Greece.
Spiti Barbara is a 220 year old traditional cave house situated in Firostefani, about a 10 minute walk from the main town, Fira. The house is designed for 4 people. Each room has a queen and single bed and so can accommodate a couple or 2 singles. There is a bathroom off the main living room and shower/laundry and toilet across the courtyard -typical of the architecture of the time. There are two rooftop terraces with magnificent views over the Caldera. The courtyard with its well established olive tree provides a cool and private place to sit. The house has been sympathetically renovated to provide a modern standard of comfort whilst retaining as much as possible, the traditional and typical architecture of a cave house.
The house is located just below Efterpi Villas and just above Dana Villas. Small supermarkets which are open in season, are very close, but the main town of Fira is only a 10 minute walk, along a scenic pathway.
