1864-The Sea Captain’s House designed by PATSIOS architects, is one of the few places to stay in Santorini, Greece where you truly get the feeling you are in a real house. The two-storey mansion is partly caved into the cliff, while its facade is a combination of renaissance inspired upper level, made out of dark volcanic stone and a more traditional, island style lower level, washed in a creamy colour. The interiors are a blend of characteristic elements of Cycladic cave houses and of 19th century mansions. via: decoholic.org
