Beautiful, beautiful property. Amazing rooms with amazing views. The hotel offers transportation to town and around areas which is greatly appreciated since driving around and getting ubers/taxis are difficult. You have amazing sunsets in Oia and at Canaves Epitome.

Phenomenal hotel - amazing view of the sunset. Far better than staying on the caldera. Quiet, gorgeous view, and a pool that made us not want to leave the hotel.

AMAZING PROPERTY!!!
This is the best hotel we’ve ever stayed in. The views of the sea are unreal! The room is so beautiful and thoughtfully designed. The restaurants on site are fantastic! The customer service is so kind and helpful! The only problem with this hotel is you will compare it with every hotel you ever stay at again. I can’t recommend this property enough!! It’s just phenomenal!

Amazing experience. From the moment you walk in they will cater above and beyond your needs. What makes this place special compared to the usual places that Santorini has to offer is its exclusive view of the sunset. Breakfast was also amazing as there were lots of options as well as great food. 11/10 would recommend and come again.
