This is the only review you need to read about the only place you need to stay in Santorini…
Artemis is what you dream about when you dream about the perfect hotel in Santorini. It has all the charm of the Cycladic architecture that the island is known for and is located right on the water, giving you a completely unobstructed view of the sunset from your room each night. The room is clean and comfortable with all of the thoughtful touches that make for a luxurious experience, including fresh toiletries each day, strong water pressure, and a literal mint on your pillow each evening. For us, the best part of our stay was a tie between watching the sunset from our private jacuzzi, having a delicious breakfast brought to us each morning on our private terrace, taking a dip in the refreshing rooftop pool…the list goes on!
While it’s tempting to stay in Oia or Fira, the two main cities on the island, I cannot say enough good things about the location of Artemis. It is a 20 minute walk to Fira along a path with a breathtaking view. It’s also about a 1 minute walk from the main square where there are many restaurants and shops. There is also an ATM, a bakery, ATV rentals, and more close by.
Perhaps the most special thing about an already special place is the Artemis staff. Angela was really responsive and helped us organize transportation to and from the port, which can be overwhelming with all of the people coming and going. We could not have asked for a smoother trip to the hotel, where staff were waiting to help us bring our bags to the room. They offer happy hour each evening, advice on where to go, and are just the kindest people. I would still feel this way even if they hadn’t surprised us with a bottle of champagne on our first night - just as they witnessed my fiancé surprise me with a proposal on our terrace!
You HAVE to stay at this place! You will not regret it.
