Day 6: Welcome to Greece | Santorini

Nestled atop the caldera cliffs of Firostefani (just 5 minutes walk from the island’s capital), the hotel offers an intimate and luxurious escape that marries traditional Cycladic charm with opulent comfort. This boutique hotel, housed in a meticulously restored 18th-century mansion, provides breathtaking panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and Santorini’s iconic sunsets, making it a dream destination for travelers seeking tranquility and beauty.

Each of the five uniquely designed suites is a masterpiece in its own right, adorned with rare antiques, exquisite artwork, and bespoke furnishings that reflect the island’s rich history and culture. The suites are named and themed after various elements of Greek heritage, such as the House of Sea, the House of Nureyev, and the House of Porcelain, ensuring that each stay is a unique experience filled with character and charm.

The hotel’s personalized services are tailored to cater to the desires of each guest, providing an unparalleled level of hospitality. From private dining experiences under the starlit sky to bespoke excursions around the island, every detail is thoughtfully curated to create memorable moments. The infinity pool, set against the dramatic backdrop of the caldera, offers a serene oasis where guests can unwind and soak in the stunning scenery.

For those seeking culinary delights, the hotel features a gourmet restaurant that celebrates the flavors of Mediterranean cuisine, using locally sourced ingredients to create dishes that are both innovative and deeply rooted in tradition.

Whether you are lounging on your private terrace, exploring the vibrant local culture, or simply indulging in the luxurious amenities, the hotel promises a stay that transcends the ordinary, offering a sublime blend of history, art, and sheer beauty. It’s more than just a hotel; it’s a timeless sanctuary where every stay is an unforgettable journey.

Selected Room: The Villa (Breakfast included)

The Villa with private terrace and a private pool (7m x 5m) is by far the hotel’s most luxurious accommodation.

Inside, the villa consists of a sitting room, a fully equipped kitchen and three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, all carefully laid out to activate the feeling of comfort. Outside is the blue of the pool that appears to merge seamlessly, symbolically into the open sea.

The decorative style is well known. Spare, elegant, luxury. Works of art from Dimitris Tsitouras´ favorite periods – ancient Hellenic, Byzantine and modern Greek – adorn the most unlikely corners, creating surprises everywhere. Furniture, objects, icons, paintings and sculptures, all provide visual stimuli and aesthetic associations, against a mythic, incredibly beautiful backdrop.
