Awesome vacation

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Nov 8, 2017
This is a beautiful property with an amazing staff. It is located on the southern end of Santorini above the village of Akrotiri. An excellent location to explore Santorini from without being in the middle of the major tourist areas. We rented an ATV that was delivered to the property. This was the perfect way to see the island, and we found some beautiful hidden beaches. The restaurant at the hotel was fabulous. The chef, Christos and waiters Thanos and Maria gave us personalized service and awesome food. Charis , the hotel manager was always available to us and provided invaluable advice and guidance. Theodore, the grounds keeper always had a smile and helpful hand. The staff at Kalestesia made a perfect vacation even better.
Date of stay: October 2017
Room Tip: WE had a north end room with an amazing view of the caldero.

Tucked away in the beautiful southern part of the island atop the most gorgeous hill Kalestesia Suites is straight out of a dream. I had been dreaming of Santorini for over 15 years and Kalestesia was where we ended up booking our honeymoon. I was ecstatic with the service—Harry takes such great care of his guest! Giving us suggestions where to eat, what to see, getting us transportation, and making sure we had the best possible time.

The Chef there takes great pride in his work and his food is fantastic! He’s so wonderful to talk to as well.

The facilities are beautiful, the property is well maintained, they even send you off with breakfast the day you leave if your flight is before regular breakfast hours. This team goes above and beyond to ensure you have the absolute best time in Santorini and I am so glad we stayed at this wonderful place.

Where to start? The hotel is located in the village of Akrotiri in the south of the island, which is somewhat less popular with tourists than Thira or Oia. What this means is that you will be staying in a beautiful hotel located in a quiet village, with the most stunning view of caldeira out your room. The room itself is more of a Cyclades-style white house, which adds to the authenticity of the experience. The fantastic Charis (hotel manager) was there for every question/request that we had: he helped us rent our car, gave us dozens of suggestions for places to visit, and recommended the best restaurant we went to on the island.

Kalestesia Suites (and Santorini) were hands down the highlight of our stay in the Cyclades.

Where do I even begin! Kalestesia Suites was by far the best part of our 4 week European holiday. Not only are the team at the hotel amazing, friendly and so attentive but the the view from every part of this boutique resort is breath taking. The best part about this place is that is its tranquility! While there are many places on the island, which are full of tourists, this resort is the complete opposite and offers a more relaxing atmosphere. The only downfall was that we did book a room with a jacuzzi however it did not heat up so we could not jump into it. This was well made up for after notifying the manager. Thanks so much to the entire team for our trip to Santorini extra special.xxx

Kalestesia is truly a dream - the location is amazing, incredible views and extraordinary service. I stayed in two different rooms, both wonderful in their own way, but probably what stood out most of all was the exceptional service. Every member of the staff was so friendly and welcoming it made it very hard to leave. Oh! And meals at the restaurant outstanding too, delicious food and way too much of it to possibly finish. I truly can't say enough about Kalestesia and hope to return next year.

At first you are simply overwhelmed by the view. When you then discover your room you will say “if I had an apartment in Santorini, THIS is how it would need to look”. It’ll be impossible not to take at least 100 photos of the pool - from every angle at every time of the day. Most probably you’ll be on your own, after all only 9 other rooms could be possibly compete with your pool seat.
That is, if you don’t run into the 20+ friends that we surprised the Kalestesia team with. And this is where the Hotel REALLY impressed us: Christos the Chef learned very quickly how to cook for 10 times more guests than they were used to - with local produce, simple yet outstanding, making us wish every day to be back.
Efcharisto for making us feel like being a well connected local and spoiling us with your genuine service.
