Step into the authentic side of Santorini, away from the busy tourist spots and into a little local town called Messaria with all its charm, right in the middle of the island. This is where you'll find St. Alexander, a collection of four traditional villas of different local styles that in recent years have been lovingly renovated and decorated by their owner.

The villas lie in the quiet part of Messaria, in a small neighborhood called Vlachia, with winding island alleyways that reflect the intimate Cycladic island lifestyle and enchanting atmosphere. The four villas – Poseidon, Aphrodite, Triton and Calliste – will all greet you with the warmth of their magical spaces and rooms. In the center of these traditional villas lies the little church of Agios Alexandros (Greek for Saint Alexander), which features beautifully painted frescoes and gave its name to the St. Alexander Villas.
