Gorgeous stay!

Highly highly recommend this beautiful location! The staff was wonderful, spa amazing and views just unbeatable. We also like the location - close to markets and restaurants and just a quick 10 minute ride to Fira or across the island to the beaches. Also recommend renting an ATV to zip around!

My wife and I only stayed 2 days but we wish it was longer. The views are amazing and the food was the best we had since traveling the last 2 weeks. We went to France and Rome and the food here was on another level. We will come back for at least a week next time. There is shopping and cafes nearby. The service was excellent and rooms were so nice. We did a private jacuzzi and it was worth it. They also gave us a departing gift, thank you!

Gorgeous hotel! Would highly recommend. We only stayed here for one night as it was a last minute booking, but we wish we could have stayed for longer. - The room was beautifully decorated, very clean and had a very comfortable bed. - Our terrace had a hot tub, table and sun beds which were located down a few steps (we loved this as it was a bit more private) and the view was incredible! Clear, wide and unobstructed views of the caldera. It looked like most of the terraces for the rooms (including ours) were not completely private - as you walk through the property, you can see a lot of the terraces, however the hotel felt very exclusive and quiet, so guests and staff only walked by occasionally. - Service was friendly and efficient. - Breakfast was ample and delicious - you preorder the day before and confirm the time you want to have it. It’s served in the restaurant or to your room for a fee. - The main pool is lovely and a decent size. It’s worth noting that it’s quite deep with no “shallow” end. The very edge of the pool is the most shallow at just below 1.5 meters and then it quickly gets deeper. The only minor issue was the AC unit making a loud clicking noise every so often throughout the night which was not ideal for us as we are sensitive sleepers. However, we loved the hotel and had a wonderful stay. If we ever come to Imerovigli again, we'd definitely stay here!

We had a fantastic stay and felt like the staff made sure we were comfortable. Stellar service and waking up to that view was unreal - what an unforgettable way to start the day! We loved that it was within walking distance to many great restaurants, and also a convenient location with prearranged taxis and transfers for activities.

This was an incredible property. It is well located and away from the crazy cruise line traffic, but still central to get everywhere. Be warned there are many many steep and uneven steps you need to navigate to get to the hotel, but they are very helpful in carrying your luggage.

Staff were amazing and could not do enough for us. Breakfast was excellent and you could sit outside in different places. They recommended great restaurants within easy walking distance (think Vivaldi) and we loved doing the walk to Oia but being there confirmed for us that Imerovigli is the perfect location on the island to stay because you get a quieter city and can still see the sunset from the top. Just seek it out.
