Tucked away within the medieval village of Megalohori, the enchanting Vedema, A Luxury Collection Resort has evolved from a 400-year-old wine cellar and a 100-year-old mansion into an authentic, Cycladic-styled property. Dedicated to the needs of seasoned travellers, Vedema houses 46 spacious suites and villas, all with their own terraces and many with jacuzzis or private pools.
Inspired by and built around the 400-year-old winery that dominates the heart of the property, the resort resembles a traditional fortified Greek village made up of 46 sophisticated villas and low-rise small handcrafted houses.
Striking white welcomes guests into all the accommodation options of Vedema Resort. Polished wooden shutters throughout pay homage to native Santorini style and draw attention to the elegant atmosphere. In all rooms, characteristic wooden doors open to a private terrace or patio that overlooks the enchanting resort gardens. On the other hand, the Presidential Villa, originally a captain’s house, is a century old neoclassical mansion designed by the celebrated Greek decorator Aggelos Aggelopoulos.
Winemaking lies at the heart of the property, which is no more evident than in the name, Vedema, meaning “harvest”. Even today, the vineyards that surround the hotel are nurtured to produce their own special vintage, available for guests to taste in the Canava Wine Bar.
