San Antonio ★★★★

Sculpted into the volcanic rock of the island, this is a completely unique setting that will wow you from the moment you arrive. You will be greeted at the entrance where the San Antonio chapel resides, purportedly bringing luck to all who come to stay here, and journey through a cave to this luxury sanctuary – one of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World. Located on a plateau near the village of Imerovigli, this area is known as the ‘balcony to the Aegean’ thanks to its clifftop setting that offers breathtaking sunset views.

And you’ll be able to make the most of it: from the infinity pool to the elegant restaurant terrace to your very own open sky balcony, these varying shades of blue provide the backdrop to each blissful moment. In keeping with the cool tones of santorini’s landscape, the hotel has been elegantly designed in neutral shades with terracotta tiling underfoot, full-length white curtains billowing in the breeze and a large bed whispering of afternoon siestas.

If you wish to tear yourselves away from this haven, there is much to discover. After admiring the sea from afar, it’s a must to head down to the beach to immerse yourself in the warm waters. And a visit to nearby towns and villages will give you an opportunity to experience the local culture where the warmth of the people is infectious. For an escape full of serenity, romance and unforgettable sunsets, the San Antonio **** awaits.
