Hotel History

Vedema Santorini Resort is an homage to Santorini's rich past that dates back to 1645 BC. It also plays a crucial role in today's island's future. The resort is located on a vineyard with more than 500 years of history. It was created in 1993 by Antonis Eliopoulos, a son of a distinguished shipping family. He had the vision of making his family's summer property into a first-class resort, reflecting Santorini culture and customs.

He then hired Mary Kavagia (respected architect) and Aggelos Aggelopoulos (interior designers) to build a traditional fortified Greek village. It comprises tiny, handcrafted houses and villas in a Grecian style. An indigenous stone wall surrounds the village. But, the estate's old wine harvest spot was the resort's focal point.

Vedema Santorini, the Venetian word for harvest, is its name. Wines made here are now sold and appreciated internationally. In addition, the resort renovated the old cellars below the village to fulfill essential resort functions, such as a wine tasting room, a private dining area, and more.

Eliopoulos continued to transform the house in 2008. He also completed an interior renovation. This included the construction of large marble bathrooms. Also, he updated technological equipment to include flat-screen TVs and DVD players. Additionally, all furniture was replaced by antique-style island-style items. This hotel has been a top choice year after year because of this fusion.
