Gorgeous stay!

Highly highly recommend this beautiful location! The staff was wonderful, spa amazing and views just unbeatable. We also like the location - close to markets and restaurants and just a quick 10 minute ride to Fira or across the island to the beaches. Also recommend renting an ATV to zip around!

We had a fantastic stay and felt like the staff made sure we were comfortable. Stellar service and waking up to that view was unreal - what an unforgettable way to start the day! We loved that it was within walking distance to many great restaurants, and also a convenient location with prearranged taxis and transfers for activities.

Absolute Amazing Stay!!

We had the most amazing room with a deck that had 2 lounge beds over looking the sea. Everyone was so nice & accommodating. Our breakfast each morning was excellent! We highly recommend the Icontic Santorini.

Wow! The view of the caldera and the sea is breathtaking from your own private patio and hot tub. The staff was extremely flexible and very attentive. The room was the best we stayed in our multiple Greece stops. The breakfast was delicious and plentiful. We would definitely go back and recommend this to our friends and family!

Beautiful views in Santorini

Amazing views and top rated service, I could not asked for any better hotel to stay in Santorini. I adored the views from our deck, sit there every chance I could, watched sunrise and sunset almost daily during our 6 nights. The room is a bit small but it is Santorini’s most popular location. I husband said he felt like we lived in a cave and that’s the idea to experience Santorini.

Gorgeous hotel! Would highly recommend. We only stayed here for one night as it was a last minute booking, but we wish we could have stayed for longer. - The room was beautifully decorated, very clean and had a very comfortable bed. - Our terrace had a hot tub, table and sun beds which were located down a few steps (we loved this as it was a bit more private) and the view was incredible! Clear, wide and unobstructed views of the caldera. It looked like most of the terraces for the rooms (including ours) were not completely private - as you walk through the property, you can see a lot of the terraces, however the hotel felt very exclusive and quiet, so guests and staff only walked by occasionally. - Service was friendly and efficient. - Breakfast was ample and delicious - you preorder the day before and confirm the time you want to have it. It’s served in the restaurant or to your room for a fee. - The main pool is lovely and a decent size. It’s worth noting that it’s quite deep with no “shallow” end. The very edge of the pool is the most shallow at just below 1.5 meters and then it quickly gets deeper. The only minor issue was the AC unit making a loud clicking noise every so often throughout the night which was not ideal for us as we are sensitive sleepers. However, we loved the hotel and had a wonderful stay. If we ever come to Imerovigli again, we'd definitely stay here!

The iconic Iconic Hotel

I'm not sure what I can add that hasn't already been said. There's a reason this hotel has an almost flawless customer satisfaction score on this website. The property itself is very unique, with gorgeous rooms built right into the side of the volcano. And the views! Just stunning to gaze out onto the caldera, towns, and ocean below. What really sets this place apart, however, was the incredible customer service. Every single member of the team worked very hard to make sure we had a memorable stay, and we couldn't be more appreciative of their efforts! If we're ever back in Santorini, we'd stay here again without a doubt!

Gorgeous view, pool too hot

Stunning view, delicious cocktails, and very comfortable bed. My only complaint is that the pool was too warm. It was 80+ degrees out, the sun was strong, and I was sweating under my umbrella, so the fact that the pool was heated was baffling. I asked if they always heated the pool and was told yes. The couple next to us also found the pool temperature very uncomfortable. The pool area was the main reason I booked this hotel, so the fact that the pool was basically unusable was certainly disappointing.

This property was top notch, excellent service and outstanding facility. The rooms were beautiful and well equipped. We had a room with a plunge pool. All rooms had view of Caldera, table for breakfast and lounge chairs. The staff was extremely attentive. The pool bar/restaurant was small but good food and drinks. We were picked up at the airport and all luggage transferred to our room. There's a lot of walking and steps so it was very appreciated. Absolutely beautiful stay. The room would be cleaned and stocked when we left during day and evening. The staff would leave ice, fresh water bottles and chocolates. Very unique "cave" like room with large bathroom and lovely sitting area. All white walls and decorations. Bathroom with all modern amenities. The breakfast everyday overseeing the Caldera was exquisite with fruits, fresh juices, coffee, eggs, waffles. Delicious. There is nothing negative I can say. Went on a trip with my teenage daughter and it was wonderful time. Walked to Fira and evening trip to Oia for sunset dinner. Perfect vacation. Stayed for three days after visiting Athens. Make sure to take the Catamaran trip one day--worth it.

En perle!

Fantastisk hotell. Vennlige folk som jobber der. Jentene i resepsjonen spesielt( de var to stjerner) informative, og med et stort smil om munnen. Gi disse mer lønn og pass godt på de. De var virkelig bra representanter for hotellet. Renholderene var også veldig hyggelige og grundige! Servitørene kan drilles mer, tror de var mer bartendere eller ferske i gamet( har jobbet 12 år selv i hotell og restaurant) men veldig vennlige. Alle må starte en plass. Men djevelen ligger i detaljene. Rommet vårt var stort og veldig fint. En av de beste sengene vi har sovet i noen gang. Utsikten på hotell er den beste og fineste vi noen gang har opplevd. Bare den er verdt oppholdet. Solsengene var også svært behagelige. Frokosten var veldig god. Området er veldig sentralt. Anbefaler hotellet på det sterkeste.

This was an incredible property. It is well located and away from the crazy cruise line traffic, but still central to get everywhere. Be warned there are many many steep and uneven steps you need to navigate to get to the hotel, but they are very helpful in carrying your luggage.

Staff were amazing and could not do enough for us. Breakfast was excellent and you could sit outside in different places. They recommended great restaurants within easy walking distance (think Vivaldi) and we loved doing the walk to Oia but being there confirmed for us that Imerovigli is the perfect location on the island to stay because you get a quieter city and can still see the sunset from the top. Just seek it out.

Excellent stay with the most stunning view! The stairs will give you a bit of a workout, but that applies to almost all properties. I would definitely recommend the Iconic and stay again - it’s in a good location to walk to many things and get a true feel for Santorini.
