“We live in paradise, but someone cannot enjoy paradise when alone. We need guests and friends to have the absolute perfection.”
Nestled amidst the iconic cliffs of Oia, Santorini, Fanari Villas Santorini stands as a testament to luxury intertwined with history. This exquisite retreat, curated by the present-day patron, Emmanouil (Manolis) Darzentas, preserves the traditional character of the settlement of Oia while offering a glimpse into the rich heritage of the Darzentas’ and Barbarigos’ families.
The roots of the Darzentas’ family trace back to a branch of the Byzantine Argyros’ family in the mid-9th century AD. While the Barbarigos family hails from Venice, leaving a lasting legacy on Zakynthos and Santorini.
