Why we like it: central Fira location, one-of-a-kind, quality, romantic atmosphere
OUR REVIEW
Sipping an espresso coffee a moment after arriving, sitting at a table near the pool, the view draped like magic - the Santorini view of the sea, the volcano and the blue hues, the air fresh and life appears as if suspended in the experience.
If you are one of the select few who stay in one of the 4 Cosmopolitan Suites room types, there are only 14 rooms in total, you will enjoy the pool which sends your view across its shimmering surface to the dance of sunlight reflected in the Aegean sea, your gaze will always be brought back into focus to the tip-top of the dormant volcano and the sweeping arc of the village around the rim of the caldera - one of the great Must-See views of the world.
Relax, swim, sip a drink, dine and select a wine (Santorini produces some excellent wines).
The familiarity of a small select hotel such as Cosmopolitan Suites, blended with the quality of its rooms, view areas and service
and the few steps (there are always steps in Santorini if you choose to move!) to cafes and splendid restaurants and the throngs of shops in Fira village which is the main shopping area of Santorini.
Though it is calm and contained here at your hotel, you can enjoy the life of the place - Fira - and watch visitors from all over the world marvel at goods for sale and the donkey-width streets, the volcano-stone cobbled pathways and more.
Your luggage will be taken down to your room or suite. Enjoy the winged armchairs for a moment's pause, and then you can relax and peak at the view or visit the infinity pool and cool down to prepare to absorb all that the Santorini experience can offer. There is of course the bar or the restaurant to satisfy you. Or at some stage, start exploring the other cafes (one is right next door) and restaurants (see our guide to Santorini).
