Our unbiased review
Walking down the pale grey steps towards the collection of traditional white houses that make up the Santorini Perivolas Hotel, you become aware that this retreat is just a little quieter, more secluded and perhaps even more charming than any other boutique hotels in Santorini or Oia village. Due to this more isolated feeling, the view over the cave-like houses, red cliff face and out towards the sea and the Santorini Caldera itself becomes seemingly more enchanting – as if it has been laid on just for you.

Moving though the bedroom takes you into a large bathroom where a glass door opens out directly into the private swimming pool you passed as you entered, complete with astounding view out to sea. The Perivolas suite is so ‘free-form’ you would think the architect had drawn the design by hand and left it untouched.
