Carpe Diem Santorini

Terrible experience with booking team who do not work on site. Staff at hotel very nice and no fault on them this was the worst holiday we have ever had. Heated pool not working so could not use all holiday. Got refunded part money back from Expedia.

Fabulous retreat, with spectacular views. Just 10 suites, super quiet, food, staff and facilities outstanding. Large suites with private pools, all beautifully furnished. Highly recommended. The drive way down to Carpe Diem isn’t for the faint hearted, it’s a steep slope but well worth it! The hotels location is great easy to get everywhere in the island.

We had a truly fantastic stay. Thank you to all the staff who were all wonderfully friendly and available for us if required, though never intrusive. The accommodation is really quite special with just 10 rooms and it is a place to chill out, relax and forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Thank you.

My husband and I had a wonderful week’s stay at this lovely hotel, very small but perfect for us. If you want to go somewhere quiet and relaxing this is the place to go. Room was very large, ( we stayed in room 7 on the lower floor ) Yes it is quite over looked from above so maybe not as private as we would have liked but we still had a great time….breakfast was amazing with different choices everyday( don’t expect sausage or bacon ) We were served by Mary who is lovely. We ate most evenings at the hotel and the food was quite lovey (except the rib eye steak very pricey and not very nice.) There is not much choice but there are plenty more restaurants a short taxi ride away. We fell in love with our adorable room service lady and the pool guy who came and cleaned our private pool every morning. Abel who served from 4pm was amazing…there are few staff but they are all brilliant. We would definitely go again but most probably buy some wine from the grocery store in Pygros. Our only negatives were the price of the drinks especially the wine, way over priced, plus if you order water from the bar it costs 7 euros…. Obviously there is a very very steep hill to climb if you want to go out into the town…very challenging and a little tip from me! If you book with Tui please be aware that the coach transfer will not drop you off outside the entrance because of the steep slope. We had to arrange for a taxi to take us to the airport because Tui expect you to pick up your coach for your return flight about a 16 minute walk away…Taxi was only 25 euros..

Hotel is great, so relaxed. Rooms are very nice, especially the downstairs suites. Staff are exceptional. Abel at the bar just a great guy he’s a credit to the hotel as is the young blond lady from the Ukraine at breakfast. Your only issue is the hill. That’s severe. Please buy a golf cart to transport your guests. Not all will be as fit as me.
