About This Property

THE RIGHT TO LIVE IN PARADISE
1830. The Santorinean family Sigalas builds a sheepfold hewn in the rock, in the settlement of Karterados in the center of Fira, to hide their animals when pirates raided the island. Forty-seven years later, the cave is converted into a home to house the large family with the children and grandchildren who expected to be given pancakes with sugar every night. One and a half centuries later, the home that remains today a home, near that a separate place for the goats, the grandmother’s house and a canava, the family winery where the year’s crop was stoically aging in oak barrels, were converted into a luxurious, intimate lodge with three suites: Canava (= winery), Eutopia (=seeking of the best possible world), and Lala (=grandmother in the Santorinean dialect). A conversion that paid meticulous attention to preserve the original character of the complex.
1956, the island's powerful earthquake rocks the house and the family receives grant money from the state for restoration and the creation of an additional, new home adjacent to the cave house. The rebuilding process commences in 1964 when all the family members, from the father to the youngest grandchild, go to the beaches of Santorini. There, they collect tiny sea pebbles and remodel with them the former sheepfold into a home, maintaining the small space for the animals in the caves and putting them in at night. This material, the pebbles of the sea, in combination with the theraic earth and the porcelain, provides the home with static strength and geometric stability. It is the same building material, the same soil, with which the Suez Canal was built.

Lala White Cave Suite
In an atmosphere of a unique comfort and luxury, the bathtub and its equipment are located right next to the jacuzzi pool and face the living room to bestow the exotism and elegance that your vacation on the island needs to have. The jacuzzi plunge pool along with the cinema right above the jacuzzi of the Lala suite, uniquely complement the hospitality by creating the transcendent:
One of the most unique cinemas in Santorini and around the word that exists in the privacy of a room. Grab a bottle of wine from your in-room wine bar, place it next to the jacuzzi as you enjoy your favorite movie while swimming and be blissfully marooned in the most cherished gateaway of your life. It is here and it is now that the days are counted like dreams.

Lala Suite can accommodate to adults and a child from 12-17 years old with an extra cost 25€.
