Tsitouras Collection
Perched on a cliff overlooking the sea, the caldera, and volcanic islands, The Tsitouras Collection is a small, exquisite hotel on the Cycladic island of Santorini, in the Aegean Sea. It is located in Firostefani, just 700 metres from the main town of Fira, which can be either a scenic walk or a quick taxi ride.
The House of the Sea 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 TC wreath, and above all the beauty, comfort and tradition for which Tsitouras is justly famed.
The House of the Winds interior window, typical of Santorini, looks down from the groin-vaulted bedroom above. Touches of antiquity are lent by the drums of ancient marble columns that serve as table bases. 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.
Dominating the House of Portraits 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.
A collection of valuable white and blue 19th century Minton and Royal Copenhagen porcelain plates is the characteristic feature of the House of Porcelain. They are displayed in an authentic china cabinet from the same era.
The House of Porcelain furniture includes many collector’s items juxtaposed in a cosmopolitan, unique style: a traditional gate-leg dining room table; an authentic Corfiot commode; a wonderful 18th century ecclesiastical table in the entrance hall. It’s an architecturally interesting house with unexpected corners and niches.
The House of Nureyev's 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, an antique carved Santorini sofa.
