Why we love it
The setting
At Imerovigli — the highest point on the island's western cliffs — Grace Santorini perches right on the caldera edge. Built into the slope, the whitewashed place steps downward — most rooms and the terrace open straight onto the volcano and the water below. Fira is a short drive south, and the famous Oia sunset spot is about twenty minutes up the coast. The setting is quiet rather than busy, which suits a stay built around the view rather than nightlife.
What to expect
This four-night stay is built around a suite with a private terrace, with breakfast included each morning. Rooms are pale and minimal, with sea-facing windows and direct access to the outdoor space. The infinity pool runs along the cliff edge, and the on-site restaurant serves Greek and Mediterranean dishes with the same caldera backdrop. Service is the part guests mention most, with staff who handle bookings and transfers without fuss.
Things to do nearby
Saint Nikolaos Holy Convent is the closest point of interest, about 598 metres away. The Catholic Monastery of the Dominican Sisters and Megaro Gyzi cultural centre both sit around 1.6 km off, and the Thira Archaeological Museum is 1.7 km away in Fira. The Santorini Old Harbour, reached by the Fira cable car or the donkey path, is also about 1.7 km from the hotel. Wine estates and the black-sand beaches on the east coast are a short taxi ride.
Best for
Couples and honeymooners who want the caldera view, a private terrace and a calm base away from the crowds. Less suited to families with young children or anyone after a lively night out.

A week, loosely planned
Suggestions, not orders. Tour ideas to mix and match for your trip.
Arrival and terrace view
Arrive and settle into the suite, then take in the caldera view from your terrace. An early dinner at the hotel restaurant is an easy way to end the first evening.
Clifftop walk to Fira
Walk the clifftop path from Imerovigli towards Fira, stopping at the Thira Archaeological Museum. Spend the afternoon by the infinity pool before heading back out for dinner in town.
Oia and caldera boat trip
Drive up to Oia for the lanes, galleries and the well-known sunset over the water. Book a caldera boat trip with a stop at the hot springs if you want time on the water.
Wine estate and departure
Have a slow breakfast on the terrace and pack in a final swim before checkout. A short visit to a nearby wine estate fits well before heading to the airport.
