17 Private Houses
Perivolas Hotel in Oia Santorini is set within an amphitheatrical
landscape of curves stepping down to a central stone terrace with
a pool that flows over the edge of the cliff into an Aegean horizon.
Sophisticated travelers know that Perivolas Traditional Houses
in Oia Santorini is like no other place on earth. This world-class
small luxury inn perched on the cliffs high above the Aegean Sea
is a romantic hideaway in its own private Garden of Eden. It is
but a short walk from Oia, the most charming village on Santorini
island, and offers a tranquil oasis far removed from the stresses
of everyday life.
From the stone terrace of each house guests experience a breathtaking
panorama, from the azure sky above to the shimmering waters below,
framed by a backdrop of brilliant white cave dwellings carved into
red cliffs.
Meticulously landscaped grounds provide a mixture shade and sun.
Colourful flowers bloom everywhere, punctuating the bright white
of the buildings and the cool green of the trees with geranium,
fuchsia and bougainvillea. The meditative silence is enriched with
the sound of the waves lapping on the volcanic shore and the gentle
purring of a fishing boat as it glides across the Santorini Caldera.
Perivolas infinity pool, which appears to merge with the glinting
blue waters of the see, completes the refreshment of body and soul.
A place incomparably situated to watch the ever-changing light of
day, culminating in the spectacular sunset over Oia.
Reception staff at Perivolas is available around the clock to assist
guests with any special requests. Transfer service, porterage, room
service, twice-daily maid service, laundry and pressing. Daily international
newspapers, Internet access, library, and travel desk. Arrangements
for guided tours, sailing, scuba diving, car and motorbike rentals.
Wellness center featuring steam bath, sauna, open-air Jacuzzi and
massage facilities for beauty and health treatments.
The buffet breakfast features freshly baked homemade bread, apple
pie, cookies, pastries, Greek yogurt, and several kinds of homemade
preserves, along with seasonal fresh fruits and fruit juices. This
can be enjoyed by the pool, in the cafe, or on the private terraces.
From midday until late evening the restaurant offers a selection
of gourmet salads and light Mediterranean dishes, using where possible
vegetables and herbs grown in Perivolas' own garden.
The poolside terrace of Perivolas Hotel offers the perfect place
for experiencing the world-renowned Oia sunset - relaxing with a
cocktail and a plate of mezedes, the small Greek delicacies that
traditionally accompany aperitifs. Next to the pool, an old winery
is reborn as an indoor cafe and a poolside bar.
In preserving the original structures no effort has been spared
to conserve the aesthetics of the caves, while modern comforts have
been added to satisfy guests' needs. Each Perivolas private air-conditioned
house with it's own stone terrace overlooking Santorini's famous
Caldera is unique. It is furnished with island antiques and handmade

and fully equipped kitchenettes.

and sitting room into one large space, while superior suites have
a bedroom separate from the living room. Studios are smaller versions
of the junior suites, with a sitting area. The perivolas suite features
spacious living areas in a grotto-like setting, enhanced by a steam
bath and a relaxing pool.
