Simply superb. We spent a total of seven nights on Santorini, split between Fira and Oia, and this was the place where we saw the most beautiful sunsets. Everything was completely comfortable. The service of 24-hour transfers to Oia town and the port was invaluable in Santorini, where transportation costs can be high. They also had a wide array of activities for children, making the experience well worth the price."

True 5 Star Property

A true 5-star experience from start to finish! The property is absolutely stunning, beautifully designed with incredible rooms, multiple pools, and breathtaking landscaping. The service is impeccable; every staff member goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and taken care of. The location is perfect just a 6-minute walk to Oia town, so you’re close to all the shops and restaurants but still get the peace and tranquility of the property. Highly recommend this hotel if you’re looking for luxury, comfort, and world-class hospitality.

Our honeymoon at Canaves Epitome was truly beyond anything we could have imagined. From the moment we arrived, every single detail felt magical and unforgettable. The views are absolutely breathtaking — waking up to the stunning Santorini coastline and sunsets felt like living inside a dream. What made this place even more special was the incredible staff and service. Every person we met went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, cared for, and celebrated. The hospitality was warm, genuine, and luxurious in every possible way. We honestly cannot put into words how wonderful everyone was. The property itself is unbelievably beautiful — elegant, peaceful, romantic, and perfectly designed for a honeymoon escape. Every corner feels serene and luxurious, yet still intimate and relaxing. Whether we were enjoying the stunning pools, the delicious food, or simply taking in the views together, every moment felt perfect. Canaves Epitome gave us memories we will cherish forever. If you are looking for the ultimate romantic getaway or honeymoon destination in Santorini, this is truly paradise. We already cannot wait to come back someday. 💙✨

Amazing experience. From the moment you walk in they will cater above and beyond your needs. What makes this place special compared to the usual places that Santorini has to offer is its exclusive view of the sunset. Breakfast was also amazing as there were lots of options as well as great food. 11/10 would recommend and come again.
