Overall a great stay, but a few areas for potential guest to consider. The hotel needs some signs on the surrounding roads to find it, there is a very very steep hill for 400mtrs to reach it. Room pictures suggest more privacy than reality ….. path to other rooms is in front of you. Breakfast was great, staff friendly and amazing. Quiet location…. a car a must if you want to be easily mobile.

As you walk out of the Hotel there is a challanging and dangerous 45 degree ascent /descent hill to climb

Fabulous view, fantastic breakfasts, lovely staff, your own private pool, super-comfy room, quiet, relaxing - loved every minute!

Great staff, location view, facilities and food.

Very accommodating service from very friendly staff. Location is private and beautiful!

Wonderful views and excellent service

Small exclusive hotel as it's just 10 suites which all have the panoramic view and personal pool. Clean minimalist décor & scenery is very relaxing. The friendly owners and staff always ready to meet your needs which were few as the complimentary inclusives were very generous.The free parking was a great bonus for us as we hired a car to explored the island but if you don't want to drive Pyrgos town is walkable where there are plenty of good Restaurants/cafes etc. Good location for exploring the island but away from tourist crowds when relaxing

Relaxation...... Carpe Diem and all the staff are beyond exceptional...... and no the patio areas are NOT in shade from May-October.... xxxx

Carpe diem is a amazing place, from the welcoming to leaving.

This is a fantastic place to stay rooms are beautiful, and all the staff go out their ay to help you and answering your questions. This is the place to stay if you want to relax but also not far from the city.

Amazing views. Killer service. Mario’s made the #1 Mojito on the island

Fabulous service and hotel, amazing views and will definitely be back when we fly back to Greece! Xx

A combination of space, privacy (which becomes increasingly difficult to find on the island) and comfort, next to Santorini most preserved and authentic village Pyrgos.

I found this hotel listed in a magazine article as a top place to stay in Santorini. We booked the non-refundable option (as it was the only one available) and crossed our fingers. Our stay at 5 night/6 days and it was at the tail end of our honeymoon (after Italy) and we were really looking forward to relaxing and doing nothing. The location is on the quieter side of the island and is quite secluded from the action. Upon our arrival we were greeted by Thrassus (apologies if I misspelled) who was the main contact/concierge while we were there. He personally made our stay spectacular, providing us perfect restaurant recommendations to suit our needs, setting up transportation and excursions, and even helping us out with a minor issue we had when my purse was taken and we lost our keys (and therefore our transportation back to the hotel) while we were out for the day. He sprung into action, sent someone to come get us, called the police for us and had wine waiting for us when we got back. This was above and beyond anything we've ever experienced anywhere else in the world. The room was incredible and the resort was so quiet and peaceful. They truly cater to whatever you need and go out of the way to make your stay unique and so special. The food (especially the bespoke breakfasts) is delicious and the spa treatments are wonderful. I recommend the Indian head massage and any of their body scrubs. The owner is also wonderful. Family run hotel and a luxury hotel of the world.

This is the most beautiful hotel I have ever seen. Each room has a spectacular view of the island and a private heated pool. The location is close enough to stores and local dining so walking is an easy way to get around. The town is generally pretty quiet, so it's very easy to get a good night of sleep. The hotel staff was absolutely amazing. The provide a delicious gourmet breakfast, and cater to your every need. Thrasos would ask us our plans each day and was very helpful with giving us guidance for areas to visit.

We stayed 5 nights at the Carpe Diem, as we were celebrating my fiance's 40th birthday. The Hotel was exceptionally clean and the staff were so attentive to our needs. We enjoyed a huge chocolate birthday cake and red wine that they arranged for us to celebrate his birthday. The Hotel is very quite and secluded and set away from the surrounding towns therefore be prepared to take a taxi or hire a car! The Hotel food was lovely and I understand they will be adding more variety and choice. Just one observation, if you want a dip in the pool, make sure you choose a heated pool!

The private pool with a circulating warm water, clean rooms with twice a day service, polite hotel staff all made our stay wonderful.

This is the best hotel we have stayed in, fantastic staff, service and cocktails! The rooms are so comfortable and the views amazing!

Beautiful hotel with incredible staff that catered to our every need. Natacha helped make every aspect of our trip to Santorini extra special.

The hotel is stunning, with an amazing view over the island. The staff were friendly, polite and efficient, the room was checked several times a day and kept spotless! The suites are enormous and the private pools a fab idea, however not heated, so don't rely on them until later in the season (we were there in April). Use the spa, the treatments are pricy but worth it! Downside... Very steep hill to get to the village!
