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.

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.

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.

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!

We loved our suite, the food and the amenities. The staff was incredibly kind friendly and responsive. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY! You will not be disappointed.

If I could give more than 5-stars, I would. The service here is top-notch and really elevated the overall experience. The 24-hour complimentary shuttle service, being able to chat with staff via text at any time, the recommendations they offered for restaurants and nearby activities, the food, the ability to request our private pool be warmed, the gym, etc.
Also, our room itself was beautiful. We stayed in the Hideaway Pool Suite and it felt like it was just my husband and I tucked away on our own little cliff-side room in Santorini with the most romantic sunset views. It was perfect.
