The House of Sea is a suite with one double bedroom, one bathroom, a small sitting area and a side-view patio (32 sq.m). It has a characteristic atmosphere of romance, with hints of distant destinations and evidence of the lure of the sea. Memories of the sea spring up directly and indirectly from among the furniture and objects. Each one of the hand-painted wooden chest covers that once belonged to Mytilenian seamen has a story to tell. Fabulously framed English, Italian and German nautical maps, ranging in date from both the 16th to the 19th century adorn the interior. The Greco-Roman bathroom has been lined with pristine white marble, accented with black detail. There is a collection of 19th century charcoal sketches of male nudes by an anonymous Greek artist, an 18th century Russian icon depicting the stern figure of St Nicholas, patron saint of the sea, and there is one of the great Picasso rare ceramic pieces bearing three incised relief fish, which even the most demanding of visitors would not expect to find in a hotel.
LEER MÁSThe House of Porcelain is a suite with one double bedroom, one extra room, one bathroom, a sitting area and a dining area (43,50 sq.m). A collection of valuable white and blue 19th century Minton and Royal Copenhagen porcelain plates worked and painted by hand is the characteristic feature of this suite; they are displayed in an authentic china cabinet from the same era. The warm lemon colour of the walls makes the atmosphere particularly hospitable and shows off the furniture, decorations and works of art to the best possible advantage. Among these are: elaborate Venetian mirrors, an 18th century icon in an old marble frame, a French engraving from the last century, a traditional gate-leg dining room table; an authentic Corfiot commode, a typical card-table and wonderful 18th century ecclesiastical table in the entrance hall. On the wall behind the Napoleon bed is a magnificent piece of silk embroidered with gold thread; flanking the bed on both sides are specially designed. Through the arched windows in the dining room one can see the breath-taking landscape, the meeting of sea and sky in a vast blue world with the volcano somewhere in between. A refreshing island breeze brings one back down to earth, but the sense of greatness remains...
LEER MÁSThe House of Nureyev is a suite with one double bedroom, one bathroom, a small sitting area and a private sea view veranda (32 sq.m). This is the suite usually preferred by honeymooners, perched as it is above the others in a dancer's pirouette. The name is derived from the collection of sketches depicting the late, great Rudolf Nureyev in his various appearances in Athens. This house is the only one to have its own veranda overlooking the caldera, which is also visible from the bathroom, through the arched doorway of the house. Among the other features of the bathroom are the rare Isnik ceramic tiles. The decorative objects and furniture here illuminate aesthetic and conceptual aspects of Greek history: an ancient amphora, a Byzantine icon, an engraving. Two Venetian candelabra, an antique engraved island sofa. The dining room table is a noteworthy piece: the baseis a 19th century marble column; the top is a transparent surface of bevelled plate glass above which rises the remaining marble column to round its form. Luxury, elegance, and exceptional quality: all are interwoven harmonically to make an ideal holiday retreat offering comfort, peace and aesthetic appreciation. Inside are rare collections and works of art; outside is the magical landscape of Santorini.
LEER MÁSThe House of Winds is a suite with two double bedrooms on two floors, two bathrooms, and a large sitting area (80 sq.m). A collection of engravings contained in the travel book by James Stuart and Nicholas Revett.The Antiquities of Athens London (1762-1816) depicting the ancient Tower of the Winds has given its name to this lovely house. Its rooms have high, vaulted ceilings, an airy light blue on the walls, and timeless elegance in the authentic Santorinian period furniture: beauty, harmony, consistency of decor. Hanging from the ceiling of the living room is a silver Venetian oil lamp adorned with cherubim. Also from Venice are the carved wooden lamps on tall stands that flank the main entrance. A Corfiot commode is surrounded by Biedermeier chairs, while drums from ancient marble columns rest comfortably next to modern furniture, functioning as side tables. In the bedroom, where comfort is paramount, decor is provided by ceramic Tanagran dolls; three rare photographs of the Tower of the Winds can be found in the dressing room. In this environment, a piano is certainly not an accidental detail: it provides yet another means of expression, enabling the imagination to take wing.
LEER MÁSThe House of Portraits is a suite with two double bedrooms on two floors, two bathrooms, and a large sitting area (71 sq.m). This is the core of the initial 18th century structure around which the five luxury houses of The Tsitouras Collection have been built. The name derives from the collection of beautifully framed portraits gracing its walls, alongside oil paintings and engravings of philhellenic subjects. The specially designed furniture, although modern, blends in beautifully with the various Tsitouras Collection pieces. These include: two large tables consisting of wood and bronze bases and heavy polygonal marble tops; a 19th century wooden baptismal font which has become a marvellous coffee table; an old console, and two superb chests from Mytilene. The decorative objects have been selected with great care and superb taste: two elaborate 19th century candelabra, antique mirrors in gilt frames, Russian icons, ancient oil lamps, carved wooden cherubs and other gilt pieces from an icon screen, bust of Sappho by an Italian sculptor. The House of Portraits is characterised by a mysterious, dream-like quality with haunting echoes of past lovers.
LEER MÁSThe Tsitouras Collection's new property in Santorini is a small luxury villa on the edge of the cliff, right 30 meters down the 1780 mansion. The TC Villa with private terrace and a private pool (7m x 5m) is by far our most luxurious accommodation. It consists of 2 double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a small sitting area and a guest room with bathroom (total interior: 90 sq.m) When you walk in, you’re so dazzled by the beauty that you’re unsure whether the vision before you has just risen foam-flecked from the sea or wafted in on the air. In fact, the building stands firmly on the black Theran land, flirting with the salt air and caressing the sky. Sulphur, salt, water... Elements with the power of alchemy join in the exciting game of transmutation that its owner knows so well... Inside, the villa consists of a sitting room, a fully equipped kitchen and three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, all carefully laid out to activate the feeling of comfort. Outside is the blue of the pool that appears to merge seamlessly, symbolically into the open sea. The decorative style is well known. Spare, elegant, luxury. Works of art from Dimitris Tsitouras´ favorite periods - ancient Hellenic, Byzantine and modern Greek - adorn the most unlikely corners, creating surprises everywhere. Furniture, objects, icons, paintings and sculptures, all provide visual stimuli and aesthetic associations, against a mythic, incredibly beautiful backdrop. Plato´s lines in the Sophist are absolutely fitting: ...We’ll tell how, on one side he creates a real house by building it, and on the other side, a second by painting it, like a beautiful day-dream...

Paying tribute to Santorini's culture and history, The Tsitouras Collection boasts a sophisticated hospitality scenario enhanced by the island's most coveted location. Perched atop a majestic thousand-foot cliff in Firostefani village, it overlooks one of the most spectacular views in the Mediterranean. Let your gaze hover over the Akrotiri and the island's rugged coast, to finally focus over the imposing volcano as the sun dives like a ball of fire in the horizon behind the island of Thirassia. As if this was not enough, this sanctuary of tranquility, art and sophistication is just a stone's throw from Santorini's bustling capital. This means that you will have the privilege of being less than a ten-minute walk from the vibrant nightlife, restaurants and elegant boutiques of Fira, and still be able to admire the island's majestic landscape in total serenity, even in August.
Santorini can be reached by direct flight during summer months and throughout the year by plane via Athens International Airport (El. Venizelos) with Olympic or Aegean Airlines. Both companies fly daily to the Island with frequent flights available from early in the morning till late in the evening during the summer, and at least twice a day in the winter. For those who enjoy traveling by boat and want to experience the unique arrival at the Island that is best seen from the sea, there are several Catamarans daily (app. 4/5 hours) or Ferryboats (app. 9 hours) to accommodate you.

NicoleTue 20 Aug, 2019 | Amazing hospitality!We spent our 1 year wedding anniversary on Santorini. We actually stayed at two excellently regarded 5 star hotels, but when we return we would only stay at Tsitouras. Everyone we interacted with was so kind and genuine. Really in a class of its own! | 5 |
JuanSun 28 Oct, 2018 | The BESTI have traveled all over the world but I have never been treated as well as George treated my family. We truly felt that George welcomed us as his family. The hotel is beautiful, historic with spectacular views of Santorini. The service is 5 star. George is very knowledgable and set up a full day itinerary for us which we had a blast and got to know Santorini as a "local". We visited Athens and Mykonos but this part of the trip was by far the best. I would hope to visit Santorini again and there is no doubt this is where I would stay. Paradise! | 5 |
ChrisulaThu 25 Oct, 2018 | A n amazing experienceThe hotel was exceptional aesthetically, perfectly located and in customer service.

George and his team went above and beyond to ensure our stay was unforgettable. 6 star experience can?t wait to return! | 5 |
MarySun 23 Sep, 2018 | Best Hotel, best host!From the moment we were picked up from the airport and then met by George at the hotel we were made to feel very special. A fantastic location, an amazing room, an unbelievable view and a very special host. We enjoy our week's stay in the House of Nureyev (suite) very much and the staff made us feel very special. We would not stay anywhere else in Santorini! One of the best Hotels we have ever stayed at. Thank you George for making our stay so memorable. | 5 |
GregThu 20 Sep, 2018 | The perfect hotel for SantoriniWhat a wonderful place this is. George and Eleni created such a magical and beautiful place in Santorini. Farostefani is the perfect place to be for peace and quiet yet walking distance to town. Oia is a nightmare to stay due to overcrowding. Tsitouras is an amazing hotel, beautifully decorated and great and helpful staff. Magi earned a special mentioned as he is simply wonderful! Thank you Tsitouras for a wonderful stay. We can't wait for our next visit. | 5 |

KevinWed 25 Jul, 2018 | What a beautiful vacation!First of all, Eleni and George are wonderful, inviting hosts, who take great pride and have genuine enthusiasm in making your stay the best possible. Really couldn't ask for anything more, the six of us enjoyed the intimacy of the property and the family atmosphere expressed by all the staff. Eleni and George took care of anything and everything we needed (transportation, tours, reservations,etc.), regardless of where it was on the Island. Thank you very much for making our vacation so special. Kevin and Debra | 5 |
JosephMon 23 Jul, 2018 | A kingdom on a Magical IslandFrom the moment you are greeted as you walk through the front entrance, you feel as though the entire staff has been anxiously awaiting your arrival. And then your first glimpse of the Aegean from every vantage point in the property will take your breath away. There is only one negative about The Tsitouras and that is having to leave. We cannot wait to return. | 5 |
KellySat 21 Jul, 2018 | Absolutely incredible hotel!We loved staying at the Tsitouras! It?s a beautiful hotel and the staff went above and beyond.
