Beautiful, beautiful property. Amazing rooms with amazing views. The hotel offers transportation to town and around areas which is greatly appreciated since driving around and getting ubers/taxis are difficult. You have amazing sunsets in Oia and at Canaves Epitome.

Simply superb. We spent a total of seven nights on Santorini, split between Fira and Oia, and this was the place where we saw the most beautiful sunsets. Everything was completely comfortable. The service of 24-hour transfers to Oia town and the port was invaluable in Santorini, where transportation costs can be high. They also had a wide array of activities for children, making the experience well worth the price."

True 5 Star Property

A true 5-star experience from start to finish! The property is absolutely stunning, beautifully designed with incredible rooms, multiple pools, and breathtaking landscaping. The service is impeccable; every staff member goes above and beyond to make you feel welcome and taken care of. The location is perfect just a 6-minute walk to Oia town, so you’re close to all the shops and restaurants but still get the peace and tranquility of the property. Highly recommend this hotel if you’re looking for luxury, comfort, and world-class hospitality.

Amazing experience. From the moment you walk in they will cater above and beyond your needs. What makes this place special compared to the usual places that Santorini has to offer is its exclusive view of the sunset. Breakfast was also amazing as there were lots of options as well as great food. 11/10 would recommend and come again.

AMAZING PROPERTY!!!

This is the best hotel we’ve ever stayed in. The views of the sea are unreal! The room is so beautiful and thoughtfully designed. The restaurants on site are fantastic! The customer service is so kind and helpful! The only problem with this hotel is you will compare it with every hotel you ever stay at again. I can’t recommend this property enough!! It’s just phenomenal!

Our honeymoon at Canaves Epitome was truly beyond anything we could have imagined. From the moment we arrived, every single detail felt magical and unforgettable. The views are absolutely breathtaking — waking up to the stunning Santorini coastline and sunsets felt like living inside a dream. What made this place even more special was the incredible staff and service. Every person we met went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, cared for, and celebrated. The hospitality was warm, genuine, and luxurious in every possible way. We honestly cannot put into words how wonderful everyone was. The property itself is unbelievably beautiful — elegant, peaceful, romantic, and perfectly designed for a honeymoon escape. Every corner feels serene and luxurious, yet still intimate and relaxing. Whether we were enjoying the stunning pools, the delicious food, or simply taking in the views together, every moment felt perfect. Canaves Epitome gave us memories we will cherish forever. If you are looking for the ultimate romantic getaway or honeymoon destination in Santorini, this is truly paradise. We already cannot wait to come back someday. 💙✨

We stayed in the Honeymoon Suite for our 30th Anniversary. We do a reasonable amount of travel and the property and suite were impeccable. The room had a prefect sunset view which we enjoyed every evening we stayed. They provide you with robes and beach towels which were both soft and luxurious. In addition they give you a couple of hats to keep along with some flip flops as a nice touch. We left our sunglasses on our living room table when we went dinner and upon our return the turn down service had placed custom Canaves silk glass cleaners under each pair of glasses. Also, the outdoor furniture is extremely comfortable and dries quickly after a rain. The jacuzzi was hot with solid jets. Everything was top notch! Highly recommend.
