Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Overall a great stay, but a few areas for potential guest to consider. The hotel needs some signs on the surrounding roads to find it, there is a very very steep hill for 400mtrs to reach it. Room pictures suggest more privacy than reality ….. path to other rooms is in front of you. Breakfast was great, staff friendly and amazing. Quiet location…. a car a must if you want to be easily mobile.

Anisah

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Very disappointing experience overall. Genuine concerns were raised respectfully but management were dismissive, defensive, and unwilling to properly listen or accommodate. Communication quickly became uncomfortable and unprofessional rather than solution-focused. The property descriptions were also misleading in our experience, particularly regarding the level of privacy between room categories. It became apparent that some rooms offered significantly more privacy despite being described in materially the same way. Overall, customer care felt very poor and the experience left us uncomfortable enough to leave on the same day.

Hotel location great but not value for money

This hotel does not warrant any more than a 3 star rating due to several areas which could be improved. Bathroom was tired , whitewashed walls starting to go mouldy in places and a yellow bath which obviously started off being white. Wi-Fi only accessible on one extreme end of balcony and not inside . No privacy on the balconies. Restaurant meals although keenly priced, not great quality and very limited choice. Limited places to sit and have a pre dinner drink if the wind is blowing or there is adverse weather conditions.

Small exclusive hotel as it's just 10 suites which all have the panoramic view and personal pool. Clean minimalist décor & scenery is very relaxing. The friendly owners and staff always ready to meet your needs which were few as the complimentary inclusives were very generous.The free parking was a great bonus for us as we hired a car to explored the island but if you don't want to drive Pyrgos town is walkable where there are plenty of good Restaurants/cafes etc. Good location for exploring the island but away from tourist crowds when relaxing

A combination of space, privacy (which becomes increasingly difficult to find on the island) and comfort, next to Santorini most preserved and authentic village Pyrgos.

Absolute paradise

I found this hotel listed in a magazine article as a top place to stay in Santorini. We booked the non-refundable option (as it was the only one available) and crossed our fingers. Our stay at 5 night/6 days and it was at the tail end of our honeymoon (after Italy) and we were really looking forward to relaxing and doing nothing. The location is on the quieter side of the island and is quite secluded from the action. Upon our arrival we were greeted by Thrassus (apologies if I misspelled) who was the main contact/concierge while we were there. He personally made our stay spectacular, providing us perfect restaurant recommendations to suit our needs, setting up transportation and excursions, and even helping us out with a minor issue we had when my purse was taken and we lost our keys (and therefore our transportation back to the hotel) while we were out for the day. He sprung into action, sent someone to come get us, called the police for us and had wine waiting for us when we got back. This was above and beyond anything we've ever experienced anywhere else in the world. The room was incredible and the resort was so quiet and peaceful. They truly cater to whatever you need and go out of the way to make your stay unique and so special. The food (especially the bespoke breakfasts) is delicious and the spa treatments are wonderful. I recommend the Indian head massage and any of their body scrubs. The owner is also wonderful. Family run hotel and a luxury hotel of the world.

Best Hotel Ever

This is the most beautiful hotel I have ever seen. Each room has a spectacular view of the island and a private heated pool. The location is close enough to stores and local dining so walking is an easy way to get around. The town is generally pretty quiet, so it's very easy to get a good night of sleep. The hotel staff was absolutely amazing. The provide a delicious gourmet breakfast, and cater to your every need. Thrasos would ask us our plans each day and was very helpful with giving us guidance for areas to visit.

Simply beautiful

We stayed 5 nights at the Carpe Diem, as we were celebrating my fiance's 40th birthday. The Hotel was exceptionally clean and the staff were so attentive to our needs. We enjoyed a huge chocolate birthday cake and red wine that they arranged for us to celebrate his birthday. The Hotel is very quite and secluded and set away from the surrounding towns therefore be prepared to take a taxi or hire a car! The Hotel food was lovely and I understand they will be adding more variety and choice. Just one observation, if you want a dip in the pool, make sure you choose a heated pool!
