Even though it’s only a six-minute walk from Perivolos or Perissa Beach, the three-pearl 9 Muses Santorini Resort doesn’t have ocean views from most areas of the hotel like one might think. Still, it’s a quiet and relaxing area with lovely grounds, despite some cleanliness issues in the 90 rooms, all outfitted with mini-fridges and flat-screen TVs. While the outdoor pool is the best feature, the gym is dated and the food in the two restaurants receive poor reviews. Travelers might also want to check out the nearby Veggera Hotel, which has similar amenities but a location across the street from the beach.

Bella Santorini, a three-pearl boutique property, feels like a home-away-from home -- if your home is immaculately clean and someone puts out a free gourmet breakfast for you every morning. The hotel was built in the middle of a field, about a five-minute walk from a quiet stretch of Perivolos Beach. Some guests love the tranquility (hard to find in Santorini) while others are inconvenienced by the 45-minute drive to Oia. There are 24 rooms, divided between apartments and studios, and each comes with high quality bedding and mattresses. Features include a large freeform pool, pool bar, free Wi-Fi, and a wedding chapel. The hands-on owner is available to book tours and provide assistance. For something just as lovely, but closer to Fira's caldera, check rates at The Dahlia & Jasmine Collection by Angel Studios.
