Carpe Diem Santorini
Needless to say Carpe Diem is a hotel that sees its fair share of honeymoon business. It’s very much a couples sort of place, and it feels even more secluded thanks to its high elevation — what its views lack in dramatic front-row spectacle, compared to the more coastal hotels, they make up for in sheer wide-ranging panorama. The owner is the architect, which means the interiors, however subtle, are always thoughtful.
With just ten suites the vibe is always low-key, and the sleepy medieval town of Pyrgos is charming yet undemanding. Room service breakfast goes practically without saying, and you’ll only see your fellow guests at dinner, or in the bar — a sundown cocktail, with the caldera to the west, is a matter of course.
Please note: Carpe Diem cannot accommodate children under the age of thirteen. Carpe Diem is a seasonal property and is open from April through October.

Guest Score & Reviews
Our 20-point scale is based on post-stay ratings from verified MICHELIN Guide guests. This feedback is important, and plays a role in helping us decide whether or not a hotel should remain in our selection.
The contemporary design – all cool whites and sexy curves. The ideal setting, high on the hill and in the centre of the island, away from the tourist hotspots. The exceptional levels of hospitality and customer service – we loved having a chat with the whole team every day. The spectacular views. The cooling evening breeze. The private splash pool – perfect for a midnight dip. The ridiculously generous breakfasts. The superb spa.
Erini and Nikos made us feel like family, the views of Fira and Oia to the distance were superb and the proximity to charming and low key Pyrgos made us feel less isolated (it's just a short hike).
La décoration sobre et raffinée des communs et des chambres plus que spacieuses. La qualité du service et l'extrême amabilité du personnel.
Everything was magnificent
