About this property

SiskosPlace Petros Cottage, Oia Santorini

Cottage Petros (151 m²) is one of the 3 secluded spacious self catering cottages in a private land of 8.000 m², just 150 meters from the quite Koloumbo beach (Cape Columbo).
The untouched Santorini a destination out of the beaten track, we offer an alternative way of vacation in Santorini with simplicity close to nature.
On the North side of Santorini very close of the cosmopolitan Oia and next to the Koloumpo undersea volcano is Siskos Place, a settlement combined of 3 secluded spacious cottages placed in absolute harmony with the environment. They stand in the silent beauty of Santorini's volcanic landscape, in 8.000 unspoiled private square meters of land.

The architecture is strictly Cycladic. All premises are exclusively made out of natural local materials and designed with traditional Cycladic bioclimatic principles so as to provide for coolness during summer without the need for artificial means.

The "SiskosPlace" was built in 2000 by Petros Siskos, a civil engineer, and his 2 sons Alexandros and Elias. The Place was for many years a relaxation destination for the family and friends. In 2015 Alexandros decided to settle in Santorini and open SiskosPlace to guests.

The furniture are collected through the years mainly from Santorini or made to order by local technicians. The decoration includes a variety of art pieces, ceramics, paintings, icons and book collections.

The cottage has a kitchen, living room, bathroom, bedroom and two paved courtyards sheltered by pergolas with marble tables, benches, garden chairs and Hammock. It shares a swimming pool and the sun loungers.

The fauna

The more patient visitor will have the chance to discover a place full of unique creatures. Rare migratory birds, falcons, partridges, owls, crows, dragonflies, hares, hedgehog and turtles.

The flora

Fig, prickly pear cactuses, olive, carob, palm, pomegranate trees dominate the landscape.

Rosemary, lavender, thyme, fennel, oregano, basil, mint, αρμπαρόριζα are some of the native herbs in the garden.

Staying in SiskosPlace's Alexandros cottage, makes you part of Santorini's natural environment, you enjoy the simple and genuine Santorini's life away from the hustle and bustle of this cosmopolitan island.

[The neighborhood]
Kolumbo Beach (Cape Columbo), for many the most beautiful beach of Santorini Island. It is a unique and still unspoiled sandy beach with pebbles, surrounded by cliffs and beautiful natural environment. It offers great views and relaxing moments since it is isolated, the beach is not organised and attracts nudism lovers. You can enjoy the stunning "Oia's sunset" right from Kolumbo Beach or SiskosPlace cottages without the hassle of the crowd.

Nice stay at Sisko’s place

We loved the place! The location was close to Oia, with the amazing sunset but with no one around. Alex was a really amazing host and friend to hang with, he was really generous with us and gave alot of great tips and cues even for other islands! We will remember Santorini for all the amazing views and food, and for Alex as well, we really had a great time, thanks again !

Fantastic country vibe

It was one of the enjoyable experience while renting through VRBO. Location is great, walking distance to the closest beach, short drive to Oia. If you want quite, country leaving vibe and 100% authentic Greece experience it is a place for you. Cottages are located so that you are not bothered by neighbors unless you want too and it perfect for large family gatherings when more then one unit is needed. Pool is big enough for morning laps and just leisure time. But most and foremost the host of the property Alex is a true gem. Instantly he makes you feel at home and every encounter you have leaves you looking for more. We had great long late night conversations which added such needed authenticity to the experience Highly recommended

Beautiful, tranquil cottage with lovely pool and views

We had a fantastic fortnight at Sisko's middle cottage. The atmosphere is very relaxed. The pool is great as are the views and you don't need to go further than the patio to watch Santorini's famous sunset. Alex is a super host with great recommendations for places to go and things to do. We will definitely go back!

Relax, unwind, enjoy

This is the perfect place to go and forget everything! The pool is amazing!!!!! The best thing is to wake up late, enjoy the pool and then late afternoon head into some town to wander about and enjoy a nice meal. The only reason I didn't rate 5 stars is air conditioning (I didn't mind, the bioclimatic aspect was good for me, but my husband prefers modern AC). Alex is a beyond wonderful host, saving us from the vineyards, checking up on us every day and providing us with recomendations. Thank you!!!

Un séjour magnifique

Nous avons passé une merveilleuse semaine chez Alex. Le site est très calme, à l'abri des flots de touristes de Santorin. Alex est un hôte très accueillant, très attentif à ce que notre séjour soit le plus agréable possible, que ce soit pour nous conseiller des restaurants et faire notre réservation que pour nous faire goûter des spécialités locales. La location est conforme à la description, décorée avec soin. La température de la maison est très agréable et les lits sont de très bonne qualité. Nous y avons logé à 8 (4 adultes et 5 enfants) sans aucun problème. Attention toutefois, il n'y a pas de porte entre les chambres, l'intimité est donc limitée. La terrasse toujours ombragée et la piscine sont également très agréables. La plage accessible à pied est très belle et peu fréquentée. Il y a quelques tamaris qui fournissent de l'ombre. Santorin est une très belle île, mais qu'il vaut mieux fréquenter hors saison pour éviter les foules de touristes. Nous avons quand même trouvé quelques endroits charmants comme le village de Pyrgos et la plage de Vlychada. Nous conseillons vivement de louer une voiture car la maison d'Alex est assez isolée. Nous vous recommandons les restaurants de Finikia et le domaine viticole de Sigalas.
