The Vasilicos, Caldera Heritage Suites

We had the most incredible 3-night stay at The Vasilicos, and we can’t say enough about how special this place is. From the moment we arrived, the warm and friendly team – Vanessa, Chris, Dimitris, and Daphne – made us feel completely at home. Their hospitality and genuine kindness made the experience unforgettable.||The location is absolutely perfect: close enough to walk (20 minutes or less) to fantastic restaurants, yet wonderfully tucked away from the crowds. It felt like a private retreat, offering peace and seclusion without sacrificing convenience.||And the sunsets… absolutely unreal. Watching the sun dip into the sea each evening from this spot truly felt like a slice of paradise on earth.||If you’re looking for a combination of beauty, comfort, and heartfelt hospitality, The Vasilicos is everything you could dream of. We’re already looking forward to returning.

I've been to Santorini about 15 times and The Vasilicos was my favorite stay yet. I give a lot of credit to Dimitris and his staff for their excellent accomodations. They were happily and readily able to provide us all we needed with a comforting profressionilism. And my goodness, the view alone is worth it. the building is designed to offer your own little piece of Santorini while you are there. I'll certainly be back. ||-Steve

The Vasilicos was one of the most amazing hotels we have ever been. The view of the Caldera was extremely stunning and we were pretty much happy just staying on our terrace, relax in our pool or on the comfortable sunbeds. The breakfast there was so good and we got everything we liked :) The room was perfect, we felt so comfortable. Particularly the shower was quite unique and a very positive surprise. All in all the hotel felt just great and we can definitely recommend it for a romantic and relaxing stay in Santorini. We'd go to no other hotel anymore. The absolute best part was the team! They provided every support from arranging transfers to and from the hotel, preparing a beautiful surprise for my wife in the room, to little ice creams and water throughout our stay. We felt that everyone really cared that we have the best stay and that the experience at the Vasilicos is simply great. Thank you so much, we felt part of a little family there!

We stayed at The Vasilicos in mid-June, and it was, without a doubt, the most incredible experience we’ve ever had on a vacation. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the sheer beauty and serenity of this place. The views were jaw-dropping. Every glance out over the caldera felt like a dream. It was like living in a postcard.||What made our stay even more special were the people. Demetris and Chris went above and beyond to take care of us. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made us feel special. Whether it was helping us plan the perfect day or simply checking in to make sure we had everything we needed, they made every moment feel effortless and personal.||We stayed in the Belvedere suite and it was elegantly designed with a blend of modern luxury and timeless charm. Every detail was thoughtfully curated, and we felt an immediate sense of peace and relaxation the moment we walked in.||If you’re going to Santorini, this is the place to stay. You won’t regret it!||-William and Sara

An unforgettable stay! I think the best view on the island. Possibly one of the best views in the world. The sunset is unbelievable. It is so private and so peaceful there. The staff are top notch, the rooms true to island architecture. Very relaxing, calming stay. Close to many outstanding fine dining experience restaurants. The service was unbelievable. Chris, would notice when I was up early and magically he would appear with my morning cappuccino. The breakfasts are wonderful. I would definitely stay there again. The pool outside our room was so welcome, perfect temperature. Look no further best hotel on the island.

Our stay in The Vasilicos was unmatched. By far, the best experience we have had and we don’t know how we will settle for less! From the beginning we were greeted with such warmth and generosity. Kris would go above and beyond to assist, remembering little details to almost anticipate your needs. ||We stayed in the Efta suite and the location was remarkable. We had our private little balcony and plugs pool which was perfect for spending the day or watching the sunset. The room was beautiful and equipped with all the amenities you could need. ||The location was just stunning as it is right at the Imerovigli view point, not too far from the main town and just a short walk to Fira as well. ||Thank you to Kris, RJ and the rest of the staff for the best stay. We definitely would love to come again! |- Jason and Alison

We stayed in The Vasilicos for 6 nights for the first half of our honeymoon. We couldn’t have gotten a warmer welcome from Vanessa and Chris when we arrived, we stayed in The Belvedere suite, it was so spacious, beautifully designed and we had so much outdoor space to ourselves. We ate often in the Pink Sophia Maria which was just delicious. Our only regret is not staying longer! Thank you Vanessa, Chris and team!!

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A True Santorini Sanctuary Staying at The Vasilicos was an unforgettable experience—intimate, elegant, and filled with heart. With only 7 beautifully appointed suites perched above the caldera, the property offers the most spectacular sunset views—without the crowds of Oia. Its location in Imerovigli is perfection: peaceful yet close to wonderful restaurants (Surupo was a favorite!), charming shops, a great pharmacy, and cozy cafés. But what truly made our stay extraordinary were the people. Dimitris and Chris are incredible hosts—warm, attentive, and full of local insight. Every detail was thoughtful: spotless rooms, dreamy beds, strong showers with lovely toiletries… and the breakfasts! Chris worked magic each morning, navigating 70 steps with a tray of handmade Greek pastries, Naxos cheeses, yogurt, fresh juices, “Greek press” coffee, and his daily surprise brunch bread and cookies—pure joy. Evenings brought wine, light bites, and the calming beauty of our private space. Whether we were diving, hiking, or simply taking in the view, The Vasilicos welcomed us back like family. If you’re looking for old-world Santorini charm with luxurious comfort and deeply personal care, make The Vasilicos your home away from home. We can’t wait to return!
