Why we like it: superb volcano views, romantic, quality, large infinity pool
OUR REVIEW
The most special of Homeric Poems' suites, the Grand Suite is a very splendid way of staying in Santorini - it is the choice you might make when you choose to spend a bit and get, well, a lot more - it is beautiful. But standard rooms are more than just fine - they are smart, bright and well presented. The themes are all rounded walled steps up and down between rooms, suites and the pool. The views are spectacular - The View is yours!
Positioned at the central caldera-edge part of Firostefani, hardly as much as a stroll away from cafes and good restaurants and a walk further along takes you past the neighbouring hotels into the busier village of Fira (one village rolls smoothly into the other).
A luxurious hotel in the true Santorini style - the images you may have of Santorini will only be enhanced and enriched when you stay here.
An exquisite pool, bar and traditional painted wood sun lounger chairs, pristine painted steps and walls. Also possible to request, with us, a room not so many steps down from the entrance if this is an important feature for you. Breakfast is served in your room or on your terrace.
Parking is easier than some hotels (though in peak season Santorini is busy and everything takes more time!).
