Amazing experience 10/10
We stayed 10 nights for our honeymoon in May. Such a beautiful location with stunning views of Fira and Oia. A wonderful greeting by Phillipe and a welcome glass of wine before being shown to our suite. The Suite was amazing with Terrace, sunbeds, tables, and chairs private pool. A wonderful breakfast was served (always with a smile) by Mary, who would cater for our needs. The staff on reception were very helpful and friendly when we had any questions and would arrange our hire car time and delivery for us. Would highly recommend Carpe Diem for romantic holiday
Paradise
This place is absolute paradise, the staff cannot do more for you! Especially Mary who works every day serving food and drink and remembers guest drinks every day at breakfast without having to ask! Everything was clean and as you would expect! The location is good with some spectacular views and a nice walk into town, the hill out is steep, but we saw this as a challenge and should not be off putting! We hope to return when time allows.
A little Gem on the hillside
Amazing location with stunning views over the Island along with the best Sunset views, Breakfast every day was exceptional and Mary was just lovely, so helpful nothing to much trouble. All the staff made us feel very welcome and were always available if needed.
The room was very clean and kept that way throughout our whole visit, extremely comfortable with a huge shower and bath, the balcony pool although a little cold (we visted in June) was serviced every day and also kept very clean. Great little mini bar within the room, and fresh coffee every day.
Overall a great place to base yourselves while visiting Santorini.
Pure luxury- the best of Santorini
This hotel was a 10/10 - one of the best hotels we’ve ever stayed at! It’s pure luxury - every part of the stay was incredible! The hotel itself is small so it was very peaceful, rooms were so spacious, kept very clean and were beautifully decorated! The private rooftop pool was amazing with incredible views of the island, lots of space on the balcony for sunbathing and plenty of shade for reading too! The breakfast was also a big standout - the menu changed daily during our stay, where we could select the items we wanted and they were produced fresh for us! The quality of the food was unmatched and I’ve never had such a high quality hotel breakfast before! Overall, couldn’t recommend this stay more - this is a perfect base to get the best of Santorini! Pure luxury and a more authentic Greek experience but still positioned well to get into the tourist hotspots! 10/10 would definitely recommend and will absolutely be returning!

10/10 Proposal
The whole experience start to end was absolutely sensational. I planned a proposal for this trip and the team were so good with helping this go flawlessly. I spoke with Sofia in advance who helped me prepare many special bespoke requests including printing a letter locally on quality stationary, planning flowers and prosecco to be delivered (with fruit), and a number of other requests including suggestions and tweaking! While there, Chris helped me with a large number of requests including laundry, breakfast delivery to the room, both in person and over WhatsApp. Filip greeted us with a warm welcome and smooth departure. All the staff that we came into contact with could not be more helpful and made the stay so special, including the housekeeping, and restaurant/bar staff, even going so far as to delay cleaning and collection of the balcony breakfast until long after usual to help the proposal go off with no issues (without myself asking!). Nothing felt like too much. Upon arrival, we’d been upgraded to another better suite and they didn’t even take credit, they just let us enjoy it.
On top of how great the staff were, the view was astounding, sunrise and sunset - really unique and amazing views of Fira and Oia. Beautiful rooms, lovely pools, breakfast was amazing (really!) and very local spread of varied food.
This stay was truly special and I feel so grateful to this staff at Carpe Diem. I’d love to return one day to celebrate an anniversary and I hope it doesn’t change.
