There are so many wonderful Greece hotels to choose from. Santorini island boasts an array of luxury boutique hotels, many quaint B&B’s and even specialty lodging. I definitely recommend staying in a hotel on the caldera side of the island, specifically for the views of a lifetime! This guide will help you navigate the areas and hotel choices! Remember to book early (3-6 months) in order to guarantee your favorite Santorini Greece hotels since most have a limited number of suites. Guide is listed first by town and then by classification (luxury to value). Likewise, each individual town in my blog also contains the corresponding hotels. Enjoy your stay and one of the many Santorini Greece Hotels.
OIA HOTELS
There are a few places that I compare to heaven on earth. Oia is a village on the cliffs of the caldera. It has sweeping vistas and simply amazing views! The village is absolutely charming, to say nothing of the friendly locals! Whitewashes houses, blue domes and a jigsaw of walkways. Oia is my FAVORITE place in all of Santorini and one of my favorites in all the world. Read more about Oia here.
Pezoules of Oia
All suites have terraces with stunning views!
My amazing terrace view
Luxury: Words cannot describe this boutique hotel well enough! The view from Pezoules is STUNNING! Built into the cliffs of Oia, each suite has its own patio with jaw dropping views. The rooms are sparkling clean and beautifully decorated! You will be overjoyed with these accommodations!! The owner, Dimitri, is a wonderful host along with his entire staff! The “Pezoulesitini” drink upon arrival is delicious. I love the location of Pezoules because it is located right in the heart of Oia, although it is tucked away in its own magical world. There are steps but someone will carry your bags up and down for you. The infinity pool is also a wonderful bonus after sightseeing beautiful Oia! In conclusion, you will NOT want to leave.
Tip: There are only seven suites, so book early!
