De Luxe Class Hotel Resort Accommodation
The Hotel consists of 5 Houses. The Houses have a capacity of 2 to 5 persons each, and are named after the unique collection that dominates the interior. These 5 units of unique beauty combine high aesthetics with modern functionalism. Their architectural elements - domes, vaults, arcades, inner windows, skylights - characteristic patterns of the order that prevails in Santorini, are emphasized by tasteful decoration, modern furniture and antiques, as well as ancient amphorae, Byzantine icons, old travel maps, paintings and nautical chests.
The House of the Sea: In this most introspective of the Tsitouras Houses the sea is reflected in an ancient shell-encrusted amphora, Seamen's Chests, Nautical Maps and fittings from old-time Ocean Liners. The walls are a creamy co lour. It is a House with depth, with secret corners and mystery. Its treasures however are not buried, they are there for you to enjoy. One of them is a Picasso Plate with incised relief fish, a collection of 19th century Charcoal Nudes, a Wreath by contemporary artist Giorgos Palividas and an 18th century Russian Icon. It also has special Tsitouras touches: the silk upholstery, framed silk scarf, snow white cotton sheets and towels bearing the characteristic embroidered Tsitouras Collection wreath, and above all the beauty, comfort and tradition for which Tsitouras is justly famed.
The House of the Winds: A collection of engravings of the ancient Tower of the Winds in Athens gave this House its name. It is a House with high vaulted ceilings, an airy light blue on the walls and the timeless elegance in the authentic Santorinian period furniture. Its interior window, typical of Santorini, looks down from the groin-vaulted Bedroom above. The drums of ancient marble columns that serve as table bases lend touches of antiquity. The House of the Winds also bears signs of the Island's Venetian connection in the carved wooden lamps that flank the front door and the silver oil lamp hanging from the ceiling. Just outside the door is the incredible vista of the sea, Caldera , islands and sky. Is this beauty real?
The House of Portraits : This is the core of the initial 18th century structure around which the five Luxury Houses of The Tsitouras Collection Hotel have been built. It is the most social House as you are in the company of the collection of Portraits that grace its walls. Dominating the Living Room under its barrel-vaulted ceiling is a 19th century portrait of Teresa Makri, the fair maid of Athens who won Lord Byron's heart. As all Tsitouras Houses, the House of Portraits is characterized by an elegant combination of objects in different styles from different eras, from ancient oil lamps to elaborate 19th century gilt Candelabra, Russian Icons, antique Mirrors, and sparse classic modern furniture. All reflecting the beauty and grace that will make your time with us truly unforgettable.
The House of Porcelain : A collection of valuable white and blue 19th century Minton and Royal Copenhagen porcelain plates is the characteristic feature of this House. They are displayed in an authentic China Cabinet from the same era. The furniture includes many collector's items juxtaposed in a cosmopolitan, unique style: a Traditional gate-leg Dining Table, an authentic Corfiot Commode, a wonderful 18th century Ecclesiastical Table in the Entrance Hall. Architecturally, an interesting House with unexpected corners and niches. Through the arched windows in the Dining Room you can look out over the breathtaking scene, the meeting of sea and sky in a vast blue world with the volcanic Island somewhere in between. The mere act of having Breakfast in this Room is an artistic experience.
The House of Nureyev : The most romantic House of them all, favored by Honeymooners for this reason, it is perched above the others in a dancers pirouette. This house has its own private Veranda overlooking the Caldera. Its name comes from the sketches of Rudolph Nureyev that chronicle his many appearances in Athens. The decorative objects and furniture illuminate aesthetic and conceptual aspects of Greek history: an ancient Amphora, a Byzantine Icon, two Venetian Candelabra, and an antique carved Santorini Sofa. The Dining Room Table is a noteworthy piece: the base is a 19th century marble column; the top is a surface of beveled glass over which the remaining marble column continues. The predominant color is lilac, which pours through the skylight in the Bathroom bathing the whole House in a softly colored light.
