Timedrops Monumental Houses, otherwise “happy houses” is a cluster of 5 traditional luxurious houses each one with a private pool and terrace, located at the preserved settlement of Emporio village in Santorini. The name of each house is inspired from a significant period (time drop) in the history of Santorini. The five stone built houses, dating from the early 20th century, have been fully renovated and restored during the last 17 years paying attention to detail and following the traditional unique techniques of the local craftsmen. A great effort has been put in preserving the architectural lines, as well as many original elements of the houses, in order to create an authentic accommodation experience for our Guests.
