Hooked on: A Room with a View

When you have a place with stunning ocean views like these, why spend much on decor? You have a perfect focal point right there outside, these gorgeous rooms are the perfect example. A simple clean interior with a stunning view, I certainly would not say no to this place, would you?


The dream of owning a place like this is a distant dream for me, so for the time being I will settle for a holiday similar to this in a gorgeous hotel, how about the Canaves Oia Hotel in Santorini? I'll leave you to enjoy the views...




Breakfast on terrace? Yes please! Happy Friday! Hope you'll have a relaxing weekend :)

I am now sitting at work, researching precisely when the best time of year to travel to Greece is and how much I'd have to budget to afford such a tempting and gorgeous vacation. I'm infatuated with the pictures you put on your blog, you've got such an incredible eye for beauty.

Happy Friday!

I love the images from Greece! I have a postcard from ages ago of this view exactly. It's so dreamy!

I agree..., with an ocean view like that as the focal point, you don't need much more..., just a bed, comfi loungers and a table. How wonderful.

Anonymous said...

Aww, I would just love to have a bed right next to the view! Imagine waking up to that every morning? :)

Christina said...

This is so amazing. Though the bedroom frightens me a bit. I would feel as if I were going to drown just from looking out the window. Happy Friday!

Things That Inspire said...

There is truly no better place than the ocean! Whenever I visit the ocean, I often think to myself 'there is no place I would rather be in this world'.

When I was a teenager, I was an exchange student in Greece for a summer. It was wonderful - the host family had a modest vacation home in a seaside town on the Mediterranean, and we would eat fresh apricots and figs from the garden. This post brought back some good memories!

T said...

TAKE ME THERE! It looks so amazing! (:

Julia @ Hooked on Houses said...

Ahhhh. Wouldn't it be fab to have one of those views?! It's fun to dream. :-)

unitb612 said...

Velvet and Linen said...

These are amazing images, Tina.
I must say the first one stopped me in my tracks!
What a wonderful way to spend the weekend.

Lemon said...

Greece always looks so clean and blue! it must be the best of mornings to wake up with a view like that, the morning sun slanting and shimmering across the water and glinting in your sleepy eyes!

Jenny said...

Beautiful! We don't have a view of the ocean, but our home has atrium windows that look out to the woods. It is so nice not to look out at houses.

I spent my 1st anniversary on Santorini. (We were living on Crete at the time.) It was magical.
