Imerovigli is probably the town/area of Santorini with the most impressive hotels
I’m always saying to people visiting the island that Imerovigli is probably the best option to stay while in Santorini, because you get these amazing famous views to the caldera, you don’t get millions of tourists on your rooftop, you have amazing views to the sunset and you have awesome hotel and suites options.
Hands down, Imerovigli is the area of Santorini with some of the most seclusive, quiet and impressive hotels on the island.
It is probably the best option for being more seclusive and quiet without any tourist eyes you may have in Oia.
In Imerovigli you probably get the best private jacuzzis and pools on the island so it’s also a great option for honeymoons or romantic getaways, as well.

VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW:
- Imerovigli is a small quiet village 20mins walk from the capital town Fira
- Imerovigli has some of the best and most luxurious hotels of the island and it can be a great option if you want to avoid the crowded and very touristic Oia or you don’t want to be at the capital Fira
- Imerovigli has amazing views to the caldera/volcano but not direct views to the famous Santorini sunsets as its viewing direction is slightly towards the inside of the volcanic lagoon and not on the west, where the sun is setting.
- Best Hotel in Imerovigli: Grace Hotel Santorini (wow! look at this pool…)
- Best Private Villa in Imerovigli : Grace Villa (seriously?)

So…without further ado, here are my recommendations of the Best Hotels of Imerovigli (in random order) :
1. Hotel San Antonio
Hotel San Antonio and its suites are romantically decorated and enjoy views of the caldera from their veranda. San Antonio is one of the most photographed hotels of the island but it comes at a hefty price, so be warned.

2. Astra Suites
Astra Suites is located on the edge of the cliffs of Imerovigli and its suites and rooms have some of the best views of the Caldera and the volcano lagoon. All the suites have their own private balcony where the breakfast is brought to you every morning (that can be the ultimate relaxing experience). Some people say that the sunset views from the Astra Suites is even better than watching it is Oia. Can’t argue that… When you are searching for luxury in Santorini, you can’t go wrong with Astra Suites.
