oh, where do I begin? the cold pool was positively chilling, and the breakfast was dreadful with just one overwhelmed waitress! truly, for a boutique hotel, I expected a warm welcome and a room upgrade—what a missed opportunity! almost wrote a glowing review but just couldn't when faced with such mediocrity.

Exceptional breakfast variety

An unforgettable sunrise experience

Waking up to the breathtaking sunrise views from our Alba Suite was a magical start to each day. The staff, especially Thrasos, were warm and attentive, making our stay feel truly special.

While the overall experience was fantastic, the breakfast service often felt slow, with just one waitress handling multiple tables during busy hours. This occasionally left us waiting too long for a morning meal.

The ambiance is captivating, and the breakfast diversity is a delightful plus, showcasing local cuisine. The private pool experience is truly exclusive, offering a serene escape.

We stayed in the Alba Suite with Private Pool and Panoramic Island view for 4 nights, and it was breathtaking! The room was spacious and tastefully designed, and the private pool was perfect for relaxing. Each day, breakfast was a delightful experience, offering different local dishes that impressed us. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate our needs, especially Thrasos, who truly elevated our stay with his exceptional service.

No noticeable issues during our stay.

A Romantic Sanctuary with Stunning Views

We enjoyed a serene stay for 4 nights in the Lava Residence Suite Heated Pool Panoramic View, where the private pool offered an intimate retreat overlooking the breathtaking Santorini landscape. Each morning, we were treated to a gourmet breakfast featuring fresh local ingredients and diverse options, which kept our mornings exciting rather than repetitive. The warm welcome from the owners, including a complimentary neck and shoulder massage, set the perfect tone for our getaway. While the hotel was a haven of tranquility, the windy conditions occasionally disrupted our outdoor experiences.

would want to stay there again

Staying in the Alba Suite was a highlight! The room was huge and had its own private plunge pool overlooking the beautiful island. Breakfast included freshly baked pastries and various local dishes daily. We enjoyed the sauna and massage services at the spa. they were so relaxing. The staff made us feel special from the start.

Can just recommend for one night

Spacious room, beautiful view, the breakfast provided a diverse selection of delicious local cuisine, showcasing the region's culinary delights.

Everything is what I need and want.

The Alba Suite boasts a stunning layout, with high ceilings that enhance the spacious feel. The private terrace offers exceptional seclusion and breathtaking views, making it an ideal spot for unwinding after a day of exploration.

The trek back from the village can be a real workout, with a long, steep climb that might leave you gasping for breath, especially after a long day. Speaking of long, breakfast service fell short with just one overwhelmed waitress managing several tables, leading to wait times that dampened the morning excitement. Lastly, some guests may find the pool on the chilly side, as it lacks heating, which could detract from the appeal during cooler evenings.

We had a wonderful time enjoying the stunning views from our spacious room and relaxing in the private pool. The spa services were top-notch, and we loved the sauna and massage treatments that helped us unwind completely. The breakfast was a bit slow on one morning, but it didn’t take away from our overall experience. I highly recommend trying the local dishes offered each day! 🌅

Incredible breakfast variety and amazing private pool, but Wi-Fi signal was weak.

Carpe Diem offered an impressive welcome that included a complimentary neck massage and a detailed tour of the spacious Alba suite. The hotel features beautifully designed rooms, complete with a private terrace that boasts stunning views of the island. Breakfast was exceptional, allowing guests to select from a varied menu and delivered promptly. The owners displayed sincere hospitality by providing recommendations for local dining and activities, ensuring a personalized experience.

The windy conditions occasionally affected the experience outside.

my stay at carpe diem was truly special, especially for valentine's day. the alba suite featured a stunning panoramic view and an incredible private pool, perfect for relaxation. each breakfast was a unique delight of local flavors, really elevating our mornings.
