Perched on a cliff in Imerovigli, this chic hotel boasts spectacular sea views, luxurious rooms, private plunge pools, and impeccable service for a dreamy getaway.
"Along whitewashed steps zigzagging down the side of the caldera in the village of Imerovigli, this tiny (for now) hotel looks out not only on a serene blue horizon but also, in the near distance, a pinnacle of rock topped by the ruins of an ancient castle. The hotel’s exterior is classic, clinging-to-the-cliffside Aegean, and the rooms minimalist modern, with a touch of art here and there to break up the otherwise all-white decor. The service is as attentive as one would expect with only 20 rooms." - CNT Editors
"Grace Hotel, Auberge Resorts Collection, sits on the very edge of a cliff; viewed from above, it looks like a sunbather languidly dangling a limb over the lip of the island's famous caldera. The hotel offers 23 rooms, including two infinity suites new for 2024, plus two pools perfect for lying beside and taking in the spectacular views. All the rooms have terraces and are decorated in classic white. The hotel is not suitable for the elderly or those with mobility issues (there are 149 steps to negotiate), or children (under 14s are not allowed). Book room number 46, a honeymoon suite, for complete privacy. —Timothy O'Grady" - Lauren Burvill
"Grace Hotel is a cliffside property offering sensational views of the ocean and Skaros Rock. Guests can enjoy the infinity pool or book a suite with a private plunge pool and patio. The hotel's restaurant, Varoulko Santorini, serves divine Greek cuisine with some of the best views on the island." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Oozing elegance, this pristine white boutique hotel looks out over enigmatic Skaros Rock and the caldera. T+L readers proclaimed Grace Hotel, Auberge Resorts Collection to be Europe’s best hotel in 2021. Located in Imerovigli, the resort features a sizable infinity pool and, for the deepest pockets, a sprawling villa." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Standing on the private patio of your room makes you understand exactly why tourists flock in droves to this Greek Island. The sweeping views of the caldera are like watching a moving postcard in slow motion. And while you can capture this view from many spots on the island, here it remains uninterrupted by crowds that descend from all over the world."
