Fodor's Expert Review Perivolas

Nomikou, Ia, Santorini, 84702, Greece Fodor's Choice

A travel magazine favorite, Perivolas lives up to the hype and then some. That infinity pool still makes you gasp and the rest of the hotel is no slouch. The twenty houses have been converted from old wineries and stables in archetypal yposkafta (vaulted cave) fashion, with clever nooks for beds, sculpted walls, and sumptuous bathrooms; all are simply but handsomely furnished with handmade wooden pieces and weavings. Quietly glamorous and very private, you will start to fantasize about living here forever.

Even more exclusive and guaranteed to unleash your inner rockstar is the hideaway from the same owners across the water in Therasia, only accesible by helicopter or boat. Like the lair of a James Bond baddie, it is utterly stunning.

PROS

  • the best infinity pool on Santorini
  • attentive but relaxed service
  • beautiful and tranquil surroundings

CONS

  • lots of steps
  • a walk to town
  • high-roller price tag
