We had a 2 bedroom suite with its own swimming pool with a great ocean view. We could watch the beautiful Santorini sunsets. The rooms were very confortable. The breakfast was excellent.

10/10 Exceptional

Simply superb. We spent a total of seven nights on Santorini, split between Fira and Oia, and this was the place where we saw the most beautiful sunsets. Everything was completely comfortable. The service of 24-hour transfers to Oia town and the port was invaluable in Santorini, where transportation costs can be high. They also had a wide array of activities for children, making the experience well worth the price."

True 5 Star Property

A true 5-star experience from start to finish! The property is absolutely stunning, beautifully designed with incredible rooms, multiple pools, and breathtaking landscaping. The service is impeccable; every staff member goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and taken care of. The location is perfect just a 6-minute walk to Oia town, so you’re close to all the shops and restaurants but still get the peace and tranquility of the property. Highly recommend this hotel if you’re looking for luxury, comfort, and world-class hospitality.

Beautiful, beautiful property. Amazing rooms with amazing views. The hotel offers transportation to town and around areas which is greatly appreciated since driving around and getting ubers/taxis are difficult. You have amazing sunsets in Oia and at Canaves Epitome.

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing experience. From the moment you walk in they will cater above and beyond your needs. What makes this place special compared to the usual places that Santorini has to offer is its exclusive view of the sunset. Breakfast was also amazing as there were lots of options as well as great food. 11/10 would recommend and come again.
