The Vasilicos, Caldera Heritage Suites

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.

What an unforgettable stay at The Vasilicos!! A spectacular boutique hotel with the most unbelievable views of The Caldera and Santorini overall. We stayed in the Pergola suite and the terrace was our safe haven! Protected by the pergola, and high within the overall hotel, we were able to enjoy wonderful breakfasts and take in the views every morning, cool off in our private pool in the afternoons and enjoyed a fantastic private dinner during the sunset all from our terrace. The suite itself is beautiful and pristine. What made the resort top tier was the incredible staff!! They are attentive, caring, and truly went above and beyond. Dimitris, the manager and concierge, and Chris, operations, are truly the kindest people. We absolutely loved getting to know both of them. RJ was attentive and ensured everything within our room, pool, etc. were set up for the day and kept pristine. The entire staff are wonderful people, and work tirelessly to ensure we had a 5 star stay. ||We did not want to stay in Oia as we were looking for Caldera views but a more quieter location - what a perfect decision that turned out to be. Imerovigli is a 7 minute walk to Fira and a 20 minute drive to Oia (or a hike which we LOVED doing). We also recommend visiting Ammoudi Bay (below Oia) ||You will not regret staying at The Vasilicos and we were so sad to leave!

Do yourself a favor and book the Vasilicos now if you are traveling to Santorini. Dimitris and his staff were incredible. The attention to detail was unmatched. The property itself provides incredible views of the Caldera. The location is in between Thira and Imerovigli, so it's not as busy as staying in one of the main parts of town. A quick 15 minute walk in either directions puts you in one of the towns. If we ever return to Santorini we will definitely be staying at The Vasilicos. Thanks again to Dimitris for making our family's stay a memory that we will cherish forever.

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

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

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 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!

Our stay at The Vasilicos was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the service was impeccable — warm, personal, and made us feel like family.

Huge thanks to Kristos, RJ and the entire team for making every moment special.||This is more than a hotel — it’s an experience. We can’t imagine staying anywhere else in Santorini!
