This hotel truly exceeds expectations—far beyond a typical 5-star experience. Located just outside Fira and Oia, it offers peace and privacy without sacrificing convenience. The views are breathtaking, especially at sunset when the caldera glows in golden hues. We stayed in a junior villa—spacious, beautifully designed, and quietly luxurious. The breakfast was exceptional: fresh local ingredients, diverse options, and a lovely atmosphere. What really made our stay unforgettable was Nikos. He didn’t just offer helpful tips—he felt like a local friend who knew every hidden gem on the island. He arranged private dining experiences, guided tours off the beaten path, and even helped us connect with authentic artisans and musicians. Navigating Thira’s narrow, winding roads can be tricky, but with the hotel’s transport support, getting around was stress-free. Whether you're arriving from the airport or port, access is smooth and quick. This isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s an experience that stays with you long after you leave. Highly recommended for travelers who value authenticity, comfort, and genuine hospitality.
Staying at Petit Palace Suites in Santorini was an absolute highlight of my trip. The staff went above and beyond—friendly, helpful, and genuinely passionate about making your experience memorable. They assisted with itinerary planning, helped book local tours, and even arranged car rentals at surprisingly affordable rates (around €40), which saved me a lot of hassle. The breakfast was excellent—fresh, diverse, and delicious. There’s also a shuttle service available, though limited in frequency, it’s still a nice convenience. What really stood out was the attention to detail: complimentary toothpaste and shaving kits are rare in Europe, but here they’re provided—such a thoughtful touch. The rooms are well-equipped, clean, and stylish, and the location is perfect—close to attractions yet quiet enough for a peaceful stay. Overall, this hotel exceeded all expectations. A truly exceptional, beautifully designed place with incredible value. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Santorini.
Stunning views from the room—every morning started with a breathtaking view of the caldera, and the sunset was absolutely unforgettable. The property has a charming, rustic vibe, though some areas could use a little renovation. That said, the overall atmosphere is cozy and authentic. One minor issue was a faint sewer odor in one of the rooms, but it dissipated quickly after opening the windows. Location is excellent—just a short walk to the town center and all the main sights. If you're looking for a peaceful, scenic stay without breaking the bank, this place is definitely worth considering. Great value for the price, and the views alone make it memorable.
This is one of the best value stays I've had in Santorini! While it's located on the southern part of the island—away from the main towns—it’s actually a plus if you're looking for peace and quiet. The huge swimming pool is stunning, and the small indoor heated pool is perfect for cool evenings or early mornings. The rooms are spacious, well-designed, and very comfortable with a modern, minimalist vibe. Staff are friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. Even though it’s not right next to the village, getting around is easy—just a short drive or a nice walk to explore the area. I loved the balance between relaxation and convenience. If you want a peaceful retreat with great amenities and excellent service, this place is absolutely worth considering.
