Absolutely everything!! The informative driver who picked us up at the ferry dock; the warm welcome and caring, professional tour of the facilities; the staff who took our luggage to our rooms, cleaned and replaced used towels multiple times a day; caring and attentive staff around the pool and in the restaurant. Impossibly breathtaking view from our bed, the pool, and restaurant. Gorgeous suite! Beautiful decor! Exquisite breakfasts and dinner! Perfectly made cocktails and drinks in general! The obvious desire to make this one of the best experiences ever. And they more than succeeded!

The only complaint we have is that we weren't able to stay longer! This is a dream experience that everyone should have at least once in their lives. We were made to feel so very special. Definitely a 12/10!!

The location is perfect, close enough to the centre of Oia to walk in easily but far enough away to be incredibly quiet and peaceful. The views are incredible - the view as you walk through from the car park made us catch our breath in awe. I’d seen all the photos but nothing prepares you for that caldera view. We stayed in a junior suite, which is one of the more “entry” level rooms but still had a beautiful terrace area outside our suite with loungers and a table and chairs. Service from all staff we encountered was exemplary, from helpful and fast responses to queries before our stay to getting us probably the best sunset view table in the restaurant that they organised our reservations for. We especially enjoyed the hospitality from Julia at breakfast. Food at breakfast and the one dinner we ate at the hotel was absolutely delicious. The pancakes were some of the best I have ever tasted (and I am a bit of a pancake connoisseur!!) I highly recommend having at least one dinner in the hotel restaurant. The main infinity pool is hard to beat and I would find myself staring out at the view rather than reading my book!

I think that the room was lovely but a bit simple for the cost (although I think that may be partly due to the overall aesthetic of the hotel). The bathroom was very small again for the price point of the room, however, you are paying for being in Oia and for the absolutely stunning views along with impeccable service and peaceful surroundings.

Located on the most beautiful part of Santorini, this hotel embodies the definition of understated luxury. Nestled on a cliff facing the caldera, the hotel boasts beautiful rooms(ours also had a private outdoor jacuzzi) with breathtaking views. The infinity pool is never crowded. breakfast is served by the pool with high quality ingredients. One of the few times where hotel is better than than the photos available on the website. Just on another level

Probably room amenities can be better and some upgrades of the sound system would not harm. Nothing that affect the sense of awe you’ll have from the moment you arrive to the (sad) moment you leave

This was more expensive for a hotel than we would usually go for, but it was utterly amazing. The staff were all so extremely friendly, warm and professional. The hotel felt luxurious but also very tasteful- it wasn't flashy but just really really exceptional. The cave rooms were beautiful, and the best bit was of course the view. We were upgraded which was really special, and we loved our room. The food was also really good, we had supper twice and both nights it was delicious, with really nice fish and meat options. It is very much fine dining rather than a normal hotel restaurant. The breakfast was lovely every morning, with lots of choice and they were generous with with what you could have. They also did a really good lunch. Again, expensive but a massive treat. Also there aren't so many other good places in Oia if you are a foody, so it was great to have the option of really nice food in the hotel. The hotel had an amazing location on the caldera, in the quieter (and much nicer) side of town. Even though it is terrace style, it still had enough privacy for us. Overall, it was definitely worth it and I'm so happy we stayed there.

We were there at a humid time of year, so the room felt a bit humid at night. Not really the fault of the hotel though!

Everything! Location, views, sunsets (oh, the sunsets!), service, food - it’s a spectacular place! The best thing about our stay was still however the staff - from reception to housekeeping and with a special mention for Vasilis, who was the most attentive and professional every single day and always remembered what we liked and accommodated my health restrictions with a smile - he is a true asset to the team. Great hospitality and cannot recommend enough!

Staff were exceptional. The location is great, om the outskirts of Oia and writhing easy walk of the Centre. Breakfast was fantastic. The suite was spacious and traditional. Views are unbeatable!

The ceilings are fairly low in the suite in parts (we are both quite tall) and the mirror was very low in the bathroom so you had to crouch a bit! The bed was comfortable but on a traditional stone plank and one person had to climb over the other in the night if they needed to get up. All small things - overall it was superb!

The employees in the restaurant are exceptional and truly made the experience at the hotel wonderful. They were so welcoming and genuinely kind that it made me want to just stay at the hotel! Also, the views are of course, stunning, but another plus for me is that the hotel is located far enough away from loud music/bars in Oia that you don’t hear it from your room, but still within walking distance of everything.

Not really a big negative, and it’s not something that would affect anyone’s stay, but something I didn’t like was that the room was a bit lacking in what I would consider basic amenities. Our room was charming in decor, and I understand the need to maintain the traditional style, but there was limited space for storing items like toiletries and there was only one small mirror in the bathroom that was set at torso height. It would’ve been nice maybe for the cabinet space below the sink to be accessible to guests (ours had cleaning supplies in it) and an additional mirror in the room.

this place is AMAZING. Pictures do not do it justice, the facility is immaculate and well designed, with the most incredible views from everywhere on the property. Highlights: - lots of comfortable outdoor seating in private nooks overlooking the sea. - amazing location - quiet, right on the edge of Oia but only a 5-15 min walk to all the shops and restaurants. - room is very spacious, clean and comfortable with nespresso coffee machine in the room. - breakfast is delicious and goes until 11:30am, lunch by the pool is also very good (big portions, see picture below). - staff are very nice and helpful, transport to/from the hotel is a nice touch. - nice big gym with a lap pool - Pool and hot tub are very nice and overlook the sea - only 20 rooms so it’s not too crowded

honestly nothing, this place is incredible

To sum up the perivolas experience in one word it would have be ‘fairytale’. This truly was a small piece of paradise in the beautiful setting of Oia. We traveled during the beginning of May, which we now know for sure means its a roll of the dice for weather. You may get lucky some days and have sun, you may get rain, you will for indubitably get clouds and wind, just how often and how long on each is up for debate. From the moment we arrived to Perivolas (may 1st, the very first day of their season), we were treated with the upmost respect and helpfulness. All of the staff who work on the property take great pride in working for perivolas, and they all tried their hardest to ensure we had a nice time. We got a free upgrade to the suite with private outdoor hot tub (jacuzzi) which was an incredibly nice touch with some the cold weather. Yes, the jacuzzi was warm enough and enjoyable to be inside of even in the cold weather. We experienced a different reality with another ‘5-star’ resort on another island, but rest assured the upgraded luxury at Perivolas was very well worth it. We did the couples massage treatment and enjoyed it fully, definitely worth the money. The food, breakfast and lunch were all stellar, although we did not eat dinner in the hotel. They truly try to provide a world class 5-star experience at every turn. Every night we walked into Oia and walked past the countless other suite and private pool hotels and villas along the path yet we did not see a single location that looked better than perivolas. In summary, any time we come back to Santorini this is where we will be staying. If my mother asked me where to stay on the island I would recommend perivolas, which is not something I would do with some of the other “5-star” resorts and hotels in Greece. This was truly an end-to-end 5 star experience and we are already looking forward to planning out next Perivolas fairytale.

The sauna was not very hot and seemed a bit dated, which stood out because literally everything other thing on the property was stellar. This was a very minor detail, the steam room was excellent so we spent most of our spa time in there instead.

This property was absolutely spectacular. The staff could not do enough for you, nothing was missed. The room was cleaned and presented to an immaculate standard. The location is private and quiet - in our opinion the best location on the island- you can easily walk in to oia in 10 minutes. The view was stunning and the pool was fantastic to lounge by. The food was fresh and incredibly tasty. This hotel was the highlight of our trip, we did not want to leave, it was worth every cent. We will return if we are ever back in Santorini.
