6 luxury hotels in Imerovigli – and how to choose

The luxury hotels in this selection cost between 200 € and 900 € a night, on average 321 €. All six state an entry rate.Kivotos SantoriniKivotos Santorini · SantoriniOne orientation note first, because it is genuinely needed here: all six hotels carry ‘Santorini’ in their name, none carries ‘Imerovigli’. You are in the right place all the same – Imerovigli is the village on the highest point of the caldera rim, between Fira and Oia.

Our travel advisors’ insider tip

Imerovigli documents its rooms better than almost any other destination we know – and that is precisely why you see something here that stays invisible elsewhere.

First the starting point: 50 of the 52 categories carry a square metre figure, 96 per cent. Among 185 destinations compared that is 2nd place – only Mykonos, at 53 of 53, is more complete.

🚩 And now what that openness reveals: the smallest documented unit measures 10 square metres. Not as an outlier – there are two of them. The largest measures 350. Between smallest and largest sits a factor of 35, in a village with six hotels.

🚩 We checked where else that happens. Among 184 destinations compared, only seven have a smaller documented unit – and they are cities, every one: London, Paris, Venice and Edinburgh among them. There the small room is the norm and nobody is surprised. Here it sits among hotels charging 900 € a night.

What that means for your booking: in Imerovigli the price tells you nothing about size, but the catalogue tells you almost everything. That is the good news – you can know beforehand what you are getting. You only have to look.

The reason for the small units, incidentally, is no flaw but the way the village is built: some of the rooms are cave rooms cut into the rock. The largest suite in the selection is tellingly called Cave and measures 265 – same construction, different format.

Our advice: tell us the square metre figure you do not want to go below. Here, for once, that is a question we can answer immediately.

Where to stay in Imerovigli: caldera, sunset, cave suite

The entry point is the On The Rocks Santorini at 200 €, followed by the San Antonio Santorini at 223 € and the Gold Suites Santorini at 273 €.Katikies Chromata SantoriniKatikies Chromata Santorini · SantoriniAbove them follow the Katikies Chromata Santorini at 369 €, the Kivotos Santorini at 612 € and the Vora Santorini at 900 €.

Our recommendation is the Katikies Chromata Santorini: with 19 it carries the most categories in this selection and therefore the widest choice of layouts – in a place where rooms differ this much, that is the most practical starting point.

We give no distances – neither to Fira nor to Oia or the airport: the data holds none.

What the categories reveal: the outlook is unusually well documented here too. Only twelve of the 52 categories leave it open – 23 per cent, where at many destinations it is over 80.

23 name the sea, nine expressly the sunset – the motif this village is known for really is in the catalogue. Four name the caldera, five are called only View.

52 categories: the best hotels in Imerovigli from the inside

Together the best hotels in this selection carry 52 room categories, and 50 of them state a square metre figure96 per cent.San Antonio SantoriniSan Antonio Santorini · ImerovigliDocumented are: a Wellness suite at 350 square metres, a Cave suite at 265, a Kivotos suite at 200, and the Omikron, Alpha and Ro suites at 105 each.

At the other end stand two units of ten square metres each and one of 20. That is no transcription error but the way this village is built – and it is why we advise you to look at the figure beforehand.

For ten of the 52 categories the record does not say whether it is a room or a suite – 19 per cent. Well documented as the areas are: a gap is a gap, and that is why we give no suite count here.

🚩 About the third column we have to say something at this destination that we otherwise never say: do not rely on it here. Several hotels in this selection carry contradictory information on the minimum stay – one source says two nights, the other says none.

So on this page we deliberately give no figure. Our travel advisors confirm the minimum stay in writing with the hotel before every booking. Especially if you want to stay a single night, ask us – that is the most expensive assumption you can make here.

When it is at its best: in May and June and in September and October. Our recommendation is May: the days are already long and the paths along the caldera rim are still walkable without having to step aside.

In July and August the village is full, and that counts double here: Imerovigli sits on the narrowest stretch of the rim. From November to March many places close – we tell you beforehand what is open.

And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year exactly as in the busiest.

🚩 Two lines fall short, and there is a reason: points or status benefits appear at only two hotels, a welcome gift at only one. That is not about quality but about the structure of the place: Imerovigli is a village of independently run hotels. Only a hotel inside a programme can credit points – and here exactly two are.

And the loyalty side: two remain – the Katikies Chromata Santorini with Leaders Club and the Kivotos Santorini with I Prefer.

For collectors, Imerovigli is therefore not a rich destination. For everyone else it changes nothing: breakfast, upgrade and the flexible check-in times apply here without a gap, and without any membership.
