Traditional Canava House– A Cycladic Escape in Thirasia with Caldera Views.

Welcome to a timeless piece of Thirasia’s heritage—an authentic traditional house, part of a canava (winery) - lovingly restored into a serene escape.

Perched above the cliffs of the caldera and surrounded by the untouched charm of this small Cycladic island, the property blends centuries-old architecture with modern comfort.

Ideal for couples and travelers seeking an intimate, slow-living island experience

Originally, built in 1873 , the estate functioned as a small canava (winery & Spirit cellar), consisting of a Rakidio (distillery of spirits), kotetsi (henhouse), a stone-built cistern, stone build wood oven & vineyards .
Today, the main building has been carefully transformed into a fully equipped house, preserving the original character, while offering the amenities of a refined boutique stay.

The house (50sm) can comfortably accommodate a couple in the bedroom (no in-between door). Small children or an extra guest can be accommodated in the extra bed in the living space.

A satellite wifi connection (reliable & uninterrupted) makes this a perfect spot for remote work—ideal for digital nomads, writers, and creatives

Guests will enjoy sole and exclusive access to the entire property. There will be no other guests sharing the premises, ensuring complete privacy and a peaceful, intimate stay.

Guests can stroll through the plot of land and step back in time to experience how wine and spirits were made ( with features like wine presses (patitiria) and built-in benches for barrels (afoures).
