Villa Fabrica is unlike most Santorini hotels, which are typified by the organically shaped white-cube architecture and bedrooms located in dark caves. Still, a deep understanding of the location’s history underlays its design. The white polished cement and eco–friendly materials are a canvas to the splendor of Fabrica’s high ceilings, natural light, and minimalist furnishings. Some of the mill machinery left in situ, sculpture-like, became part of the décor, giving the property a unique, quirky character.

“The whole renovation effort was based on the notion of ‘inserting’ a new use (vacation housing) in the old structure while maintaining the spatial qualities of the original architecture.”— Yannis Kaklamanis, architect.
Villa Fabrica is made up of four distinct housing units, but its layout means that it can be split into two separate, private villas. The villa can be rented as a whole, too, offering a perfect retreat for an unforgettable wedding or a big family reunion.
Fabrica sleeps up to 20 but typically accommodates 14 and 6 guests respectively when split. There is also a public space with an extra full kitchen and a large dining area that oversees the pool.
Two impressive pool terraces and various additional alfresco arrangements at Villa Fabrica offer plenty of space to lap up the brilliant Greek sunshine. The two pools and terraces offer wonderful views of the caldera and the entire island—benefitting from the high-ground location just underneath the historically important Castle of Pyrgos.
“[The] architecture of the buildings and the almost unobstructed views of the site creates a challenging place to work on and compose an overall spatial experience for vacation living”— Yannis Kaklamanis
The picturesque village of Pyrgos Kallistis—or simply Pyrgos (literally translated as “Tower”)—where the hotel is located, truly enjoys a magnificent setting.
Pyrgos is perched on the island’s highest point, offering views of Santorini in almost all directions. The village’s medieval walls, narrow streets, and hidden passages contribute to the charm of the place.
Looking for a unique Santorini getaway? Villa Fabrica has everything you need—amazing caldera views, lots of space, and a cozy, stylish vibe. Whether you’re traveling with family or friends, this is the perfect spot to relax, unwind, and soak up the island’s magic.
