Hotel Overview
Review of Astra Suites, by Jeroen Bergmans
Astra Suites is an all-suite boutique hotel that has been elegantly clinging to the side of Santorini's Caldera for fifteen years now, growing gradually in size and brushing up its original rooms every winter. Renowned for taking personal care of its guests and paying particular attention to detail, the hotel is located in the serene and picturesque settlement of Imerovigli. With an impressive combination of spectacular views, excellent services and luxurious suite and apartment accommodations, Astra Apartments & Suites is an ideal choice for everything from family vacations to honeymoons.
Be sure to visit the brand new Greek and Mediterranean restaurant of the same name, which boasts a menu of traditional regional specialty dishes, fine Greek wines and decadent desserts. The Pool Bar is ideal for a nightcap, and all of the suites and apartments are kitted out with kitchenettes so that guests are able to eat at their leisure. For a truly romantic evening, ask the boutique hotel to arrange a candlelight dinner on your own balcony.
Weddings at Astra Suites are glamorous, intimate affairs. The boutique hotel offers everything from photography and hairdressing services to fireworks and a Santorini sunset cruise. And wedding guests staying at the boutique hotel will love the shimmering swimming pool and the Jacuzzi, steam room and massage area at the boutique hotel's spa.
The Astra Suites has 16 traditional apartments and 12 luxury suites. Each of the apartments is decorated in Cycladic island style decor, with whitewashed walls, arches and curves. Spacious living rooms and balconies overlooking the Caldera are standard in all apartments, and the Family Apartments have two separate bedrooms and bathrooms to accommodate up to six guests.
Suites at the boutique hotel are decorated in a modern, minimalist style and have roomy bathrooms and living rooms as well as artwork courtesy of legendary local artist Mati. Marvellous views of the Caldera can be seen from private balconies. Specialty suites include the Deluxe Jacuzzi Suites with outdoor hot or cold water Jacuzzis and the Deluxe Pool Suites with a private outdoor pool.
