Hidden Hills is ideally situated in Mesaria, a picturesque village characterized by a peaceful ambiance, beautiful old churches, some dating back to the 17th century, elegant neoclassical mansions and traditional alleys, where our guests can enjoy relaxing strolls. The privileged location ensures an easy and smooth access to Fira, Santorini’s capital town, as well as the major sights and attractions of the island. What is more, there is a bus stop near to the Arlene Boutique with a frequent bus service, which makes every destination on the island easily accessible, if guests choose to visit Santorini without a vehicle.
The village dates back to the 17th century. In the 19th century it was the industrial center of the island, awash with cave houses and mansions. Today Messaria has a different sense of beauty as it exudes a classy atmosphere. The monumental manor houses of Argyros, Markezinis and Saliveros, which still stand on the village, are the landmarks of Messaria for their distinct architecture and style. The mansion of George Emmanuel Argyros, which was built in 1888 and was partly destroyed from an earthquake later on, has been restored and transformed into a museum that holds furniture and items from the 19th century. It is considered a work of art and is the only mansion that is available for visits. Its ground floor operates as a five-star guest house whose aura will transfer you back to that era.
Other than this lordly accommodation option, there are various hotels and apartments for every budget. This pretty lively and friendly village has also got many shops, super markets, restaurants, cafes and other amenities. What adds to its beauty is the fact that it is surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. Lastly, a visit in one of the two wineries is highly recommended for an ultimate wine tasting experience, as Santorini holds a long wine-making tradition and fine wine varieties thanks to the volcanic soil. The wineries promise memorable flavors and aromas.
