The 15 Best Hotels in Santorini of 2024

"Istoria is a 12-suite retreat located in Perivolos, offering a private and intimate experience with its charming cream-colored building and soft, rounded corners. Each suite has a unique name translating to 'story' in different languages, and all come with Greek bath amenities, plush bathrobes, and super soft linens." - Travel + Leisure Editors

28 Editor-Recommended Greek Island Hotels

"The designer digs Istoria means ‘story’ in Greek. And when Antonis and Kalia Eliopoulos drove down a narrow track to Perivolos beach to explore socialite Christina Tassou’s abandoned mansion and stables, they saw the chance to tell a very different one; not of Santorini’s hotel-clogged western caldera but of human obsession and the wild, black sands of the remote southeast. At the age of 15, Tassou caught the attentions of a Saudi sovereign, 35 years her senior, at the Greek royal court where her father was equerry. The king doggedly pursued her across Europe but to no avail. To trim a very long tale, she eventually escaped here and seems to have preferred horses: her home was hung with oil paintings of her five steeds. Captivated by her epic life, the maverick hoteliers behind Mystique and hilltop Vedema engaged Athens-based Interior Design Laboratorium to create a barefoot retreat, a homage less to Tassou than to organic storytelling by design. The departure from the whitewashed hotels and Jet Skis of Oia, and the physical isolation here, are reinforced by a stripped-down ethos which allows the original stone structure—and wilderness itself—to dominate. Its translucent waters are arch-framed from 12 suites, six of which are converted from the original stables, where nature’s palette is repainted in blush plaster, polished cement floors and clay-toned linens. On a taverna-less part of the coast, quantity is replaced with an impressive strike of quality at Mr E, the invention of Noma alum Alexandros Tsiotinis. Ingredients for his retellings of classics are sourced from Tassou’s former gardens. Her spirit remains in little reminders: water troughs and bridles are the hotel’s art. But the showpiece here is the 98-foot slate pool, with the caldera-rivaling drama of monolithic Mesa Vouno range rising behind. It’s said to be the largest pool on the island—or perhaps that’s just a fable. Either way, Istoria opens a new chapter in Santorini’s story. —Roxy Kavousi-Walker" - Becky Lucas

The hotel staff were welcoming, and very helpful. The room was cool and spacious, comfortable and clean. The pool was gorgeous and the pool area well staffed and maintained. Access to the beach was fantastic too.|The restaurant offered a nice varied menu, we would have breakfast and lunch there, though we did have dinner on the first night but we were the only guests which was a shame. I hired a car through the hotel and needed to amend a boat booking which the reception staff were great at handling. They also helped recommend and book restaurants on different parts of the island, all of which were very good.|We used the spa which was also very nice and calming experience. We had a fantastic break.

Istoria Hotel||||Perivolos||||10-year anniversary trip.||||1019796460||||My husband and I recently stayed at Istoria during our Europe tour., and we can honestly say out of all the hotels we stayed in; Istoria was by far our favorite. From day one the staff made us feel welcome. They ensured that we had everything we needed and arranged Transporation for us throughout the island. Our suite was clean, spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable.||The breakfast every morning exceeded our expectations, and we looked forwarded to the omelets and fresh fruit every morning. We loved spending time by the pool and the close walk to the beach made our stay even better.||I highly recommended Istoria, and we look forwarded to coming back one day.

My husband and I stayed in the Storia suite for our honeymoon and had an amazing experience. Our room had stunning views of the Black Sand Beach and the hotel pool was absolutely incredible. The suite itself was beautiful, but the service provided by the hotel staff is what made our experience so memorable! Everyone was so kind helpful, and they always greeted us with the biggest smiles. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Istoria hotel is a very stylish yet relaxed, it has a peaceful chill vibe from the moment you walk in. The suites are gorgeous, the pool is so serene and the black beach is breathtaking. The food was also great, especially the breakfast. |However, the best part of the hotel is the warm and friendly staff! They went out of their way to make sure that our stay was perfect. I have never felt more at home at a resort than I have at Istoria. A special shout out to Stelios. He is an amazing bartender whose cocktails were great and his company even better. We left feeling like we had made real connections and memories to last a lifetime. Can’t wait to return!

We made friends! The hotel Manager was viable and interacting and really wanted to know your thoughts and views on the hotel, the bartender Stelios was awesome, with local tips and makes a mean Drink. Location was clutch. You cannot go wrong with this Hotel. We are in our 50's. and tour the Mediterranean often.

Our stay at Istoria was nothing short of perfect. Every part of the experience was five-star, from the stunning design to the incredible views. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome—always helpful, kind, and attentive. The atmosphere is peaceful, the setting is breathtaking, and the level of service is truly top of the line. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in Santorini. Highly recommend!

A stay at the sleek Istoria gives you volumes more than you pay for in bliss, comfort, and elegance. It is managed to perfection by George, a genuine professional with a playful twinkle about the eyes. The staff is attentive and kind, without being overbearing. The breakfast and drinks are luxurious. The spa is sublime. If you come to Santorini, stay here.

This stunning property is full of so many stories, you can tell from the design elements chosen here. That's what drew me to choose Istoria for my holiday, but the enchanting black beach, crystal waters, delicious food and unforgettable staff are what made my stay so wonderful. I'm definitely coming again, asap!
