Grace Hotel

Grace Hotel

Every one of Grace Hotel's 23 rooms opens onto its own private pool, from the Deluxe King Room to the largest Standard King Suite, four room categories, four pools, no communal deck required for a private swim. The hotel sits seven floors tall, six kilometres from Santorini's town center, with Saint Nikolaos Holy Convent, the Catholic Monastery of Dominican Sisters and Megaro Gyzi close enough for a walk. Children fourteen and under aren't permitted here, which settles who this suits: couples, and travelers happy without a kids' pool splashing nearby. Beyond the private pools there's a heated pool and sun deck, plus a spa where massage treatments are booked ahead through the front desk. Meals run through a restaurant, bar, poolside bar and snack bar, and staff fluent in English, French, Italian, Polish, Russian and Spanish handle transfers from the ferry terminal or airport, for a EUR 75 surcharge arranged 48 hours ahead. There's a diving club and hiking trails for anyone restless, and snorkelling, bike rental and a library for anyone who isn't. Cash payments are capped at EUR 500 under Greek regulation, worth knowing before settling a bill locally. Connecting rooms can be requested for two couples traveling together, though pets and service animals aren't allowed on the property at any time. At only 23 rooms across seven floors, Grace Hotel runs at a scale closer to a private house than a resort, and a pool outside every door is what sets it apart in Santorini. Grace Hotel's 23 rooms each open onto a private pool, an adults-only property spread across seven floors, six kilometres from Santorini's town center. Couples who want their own water, not a shared deck, will find it here; families with children under fourteen won't get past the front desk.
