IMPACT

Villa Santa Croce, member of the Historical Hotels of Europe, is part of Santorini’s Cycladic cultural and architectural heritage. The oldest section once served as a defensive tower in medieval Pyrgos and may have connected to Pyrgos Castelli, the Venetian rulers’ residence, via a secret passage.

Destroyed in the 1965 earthquake and abandoned for decades, renovation began in 2017, restoring the ground floor and reconstructing the first floor under the supervision of the Greek Ministry of Culture. Using recycled materials and local volcanic stones, pumice, limestone, and ash, traditional craftsmen revived the villa with respect for historical techniques.

Santa Croce stands as a bastion of sustainability and cultural preservation. Beyond accommodation, it offers a living legacy of authenticity, slow living, and mindful restoration, combining historical charm with contemporary comfort. Each stone reflects passion, resilience, and a dedication to safeguarding Santorini’s unique heritage for generations to come.
