Als Mansion

Als Mansion by K&K is an extravagant captain’s house built with the traditional Oian architecture that gives out an authentic 18th century sense of Santorini. Its name is inspired by the ancient Greek word for “sea”. This totally private villa can accommodate up to 8 people in its cozy rooms. The courtyard and the terrace with sea view will make you want to stay in Oia forever. Als Mansion is just a few steps away from the grand caldera and the center of Oia where you can find numerous shops and restaurants. It’s just a few steps from Oia’s Bus Terminal and one of the free parking spaces of the village. Feel the allure of the prosperous last century in Santorini  with the vintage cutlery and furniture and the traditional decorative items without missing any of the modern amenities.

Although a tourist spot, Oia remains an exceptionally artistic, hardly touched village. A model of architecture, finesse and charm, Oia has its own fanatic followers: those who know how to appreciate what is different and unique. The residential complex of Oia was the first one in Greece to be listed as an architectural monument (in 1976 by EOT/ Hellenic Tourism Organisation). The village is divided into two sections by a central road (Nomikos Street): one faces the caldera and the cliff and it is where the yposkafa (cave houses) residences are, while the other contains “conventional residences”, the so-called kapetanospita (Captains’ Homes). The canavas are carved in the volcanic rocks and used to be where ship crew members lived. On the other hand, kapetanospita  (such as Als Mansion) used to be ship owners’ homes. The morphology of yposkafa was determined by local materials and the use they were put to. Quiet yet cosmopolitan, Oia is chosen by those who seek serenity, calmness and luxury in their holidays. This is why here are some of the best places to stay on the island, as well as luxurious restaurants, exquisite galleries and a wide range of shops.
