Grace Santorini is a sophisticated boutique hotel that resides in the quiet village of Imerovigli, on the island's north-west coast. Perched on the lip of the famous caldera, it boasts uninterrupted views of the Aegean; those famous Santorini sunsets have never looked better. It's a firm favourite with honeymooners and romancing couples; be aware though, that due to steep, rocky access, this hotel is unsuitable for young families and the unsteady.

The facilities

The restaurant is top-notch, serving high quality contemporary Greek cuisine on a sweeping terrace area. The poolside bar is perfect for evening cocktails, and makes the most of those sweeping caldera views. There's a choice of two pools too, including the newly built infinity pool, and for gym bunnies, there's a small fitness centre.

The rooms

Each of Grace Santorini's 17 guestrooms shares the same elegant, white-on-white palette as its communal areas. All are impeccably equipped, with air conditioning, minibars, private safes, flat screen televisions and nightly turndown. Deluxe Rooms boast private plunge pools and delicious Korres products grace the bathrooms.
