OUR STAY AT THE CARPE DIEM HOTEL

When you hear the word Santorini, I’m pretty sure your mind is picturing Oìa. But what if I told you that there’s a place that has such different view of the island, but is as spectacular as the famous coastal town? And what if, on top of that, I’d mention that it was awarded as the world’s best honeymoon hideaway?

I’m talking about the visionary Carpe Diem Hotel, built on top of a hill in the scenic village of Pyrgos. Only around 10 mins drive from airport, port or Fìra and just 30 mins from Oia, this hotel gives you a 270 degree view of the island.

This adults-only, couples-only, ultra-private spa resort with a 1-1 guest to staff ratio offers the higheststandards of bespoke butler service! The architecture is remarkable, with Santorini’straditional whitewashed buildings with their thick walls to reflect the scorching heat of the summer and a minimalist design, it creates a magnificent contrast with the sky and the Aegean Blue.
