Pros:

This hotel is truly enchanting. Its beautifully conceived design offers guests an exceptional sense of space and privacy. Perched at the highest point of Imerovigli, it provides breathtaking views of the world-famous sunset, while the gentle sea breeze enhances the feeling of peace and well-being.
The staff are attentive, professional and genuinely friendly, making every interaction feel warm and effortless. This commitment to excellence is also reflected in the dining experience, where every dish is thoughtfully prepared with great care and attention to detail.
We returned home with wonderful memories of the time we spent there.

A truly unforgettable stay with stunning views, exceptional service, and a unique charm that made it feel extra special.
Pros:

We had an absolutely incredible stay at Kivotos Santorini. The property is unlike anywhere we've stayed before—quirky, unique, and full of character.

What really made the experience exceptional was the staff. They were so warm, attentive, and genuinely cared about making our stay perfect. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and the personal touch they brought to everything made us feel incredibly welcome.

The location was ideal. It's in a quieter town between Fira and Oia, so you get to escape the crowds while still having a fantastic choice of restaurants, cafés, and amenities within easy walking distance. It really is the best of both worlds.

And the view... simply breathtaking. Waking up to those stunning panoramic views every morning was unforgettable and one of the highlights of our trip.

We couldn't recommend Kivotos Santorini more highly and would return in a heartbeat.

Cons:

Nothing to fault.

Vienas iš nuostabiausių viesbučių kuriame lankėmės
Pros:

Nuostabi viešnagė, ypač vaizdas iš liukso kambario. Skanus net labai maistas, pusryčių pateikimas į kambarį. Ačiū personalui už rūpestį bet kokiais klausimas.
Labai rekomenduoju haiką iki miestelio Oia. Labai geras 7 km takas nuo viešbučio.

Excellent stay with the most amazing views.
Pros:

My stay at Kivotos Santorini in Imerovigli was absolutely unforgettable—an experience I can’t stop thinking about.

The setting alone is breathtaking, with some of the most stunning views I’ve ever seen. Waking up to that scenery each day felt surreal. The on-site restaurant was fantastic, and the included breakfast was a true highlight—delicious, beautifully presented, and the perfect way to start each morning.

What truly made this stay exceptional, though, was the staff. Every single person I encountered was warm, attentive, and genuinely caring. A very special thank you to Maria, who made me feel so incredibly welcome from the moment I arrived—her kindness and attention to detail did not go unnoticed. The reception team and the entire staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect throughout my stay.

I left feeling so grateful for the experience, and I already cannot wait to return. Kivotos Santorini is truly something special.

Cons:

Nothing. It was perfect.

An experience unlike any other that you will never forget!
Pros:

It's hard to capture in words the experience we had staying at this bespoke and beautiful hotel. The location is fantastic and we would, without hesitation, highly recommend staying at Kivotos Santorini Hotel in Imerovigli. The architecture and unique design of the hotel, pool, restaurant, and rooms are unbelievable. The pictures on their website are very accurate but still can't do it justice - you just have to experience this hotel!

The hotel and rooms are kept spotless. The food and views at the restaurant were exceptional, and the staff who served breakfast, room service, and dinner were true professionals. We also indulged in massages with the therapist, Laoura Gini... she is highly experienced and excellent! Try the sound therapy/Chakra balance- very, very cool :)!

The views from every room are just out of this world. Again, pictures just can't do it justice... Every morning, I could not wait to wake up and greet the day from our room's terrace with my coffee... overlooking some of the most panoramic, breathtaking views we have ever seen.

All that being said, it was the people who truly make this hotel world class and an experience that we were so very lucky to have had. Every single person made this exceptional, one of a kind hotel something truly special and hard to capture with words ... i.e. Kivotos's General Manager greeting us when we arrived; the personal interactions with the concierges/Reservation team (thank you again ladies for all of your exceptional, personal assistance while we were in Santorini !); the housekeeping team that left our room spotless every day and the lady who did turn down service at night and left us special chocolates and treats... caring, sincere, exceptional, warm and welcoming...

What can I say, don't hesitate to book your stay at this unique, elegant hotel.

Cons:

Nothing. I can, without hesitation, highly recommend Kivotos Santorini Hotel.
