Absolute Bliss Imerovigli Suites

Designed in a typical Santorini style, the Absolute Bliss Imerovigli Suites is a well-kept, four-pearl hotel with whitewashed plaster exteriors and tiered terraces arranged throughout the property. Blue railings, window trim, and railing pop out against the hotel’s stark white exterior. The hotel is a bit removed from the tourist attractions and restaurants, suiting couples who want a peaceful getaway. The picturesque location is also a popular wedding venue and a Honeymoon Suite is available for newlyweds. 

Sharing stunning views of the sea and caldera with other properties, this hotel is located in Imerovigli, a city aptly known as the balcony to the Aegean Sea. The hotel is on a side street, across from a market with an ATM and near a public parking lot. This location is slightly removed from the touristy areas, but allows travelers access the "old path,” a hiking trail that leads to Fira in 30 minutes, with galleries, wineries, and restaurants. It's a 10-minute walk to Skaros Rock. Oia, recognized for its beautiful sunsets, is a short bus ride or a two-hour trek via the old path. The bus stop is about 600 meters from the hotel. Boat excursions, airport transfers, and taxis can be arranged through the front desk. The hotel is a 20-minute drive from the Santorini Airport.

The hotel's 13 air-conditioned units have a pleasant, upscale vibe, with Mediterranean decor, round or canopy beds, indoor and/or outdoor hot tubs, and lots of blue in the furnishings. A free welcome bottle of wine is a nice perk. All rooms come with safes, flat-screen TVs, Nespresso coffeemakers and/or kettles, minibars, bathrobes and slippers, and irons. Open layouts in rooms and suites allow the beautiful sea views to take center stage. 

Junior Suites have built-in sofas in sitting areas and Elegant Suites offer sectionals. Honeymoon Suites feature living rooms and indoor and outdoor hot tubs. The best option is the Absolute Private Spa Villa, which features a living and dining area, a chromotherapy steam room, and a private pool on the terrace.  Bathrooms have lovely natural stone basins, showers, and designer toiletries. 

Amenities at this hotel include a small outdoor pool, trimmed in white pebbles, with lounge chairs that overlook the sea. There isn’t a restaurant here, but a lovely terrace offers dining tables and homemade breakfast -- with a choice of fruit, coffee, croissants, omelets, cold cuts, cheese, pancakes, and more -- is delivered to rooms and suites. Romantic dinners for two can be prepared on request and room service (for lunch and dinner) is available. Free public parking is available in a small lot across from the entrance offers free public parking and those without their own cars can arrange a taxi from the front desk. In-room massages are available, but the hotel doesn’t have a full-service spa. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel.
