Canaves Oia Boutique Hotel

This is the most magnificent hotel I have ever stayed in. The staff is wonderful, the location is excellent, and the views are incredible. Every day we spent there, we were more and more impressed with how great the service was. I would highly recommend this hotel to everyone and plan to stay here should I come back to Santorini.

Very few resorts get it right. Staff at this resort were simply amazing. Management went above and beyond to accommodate us during our stay. Hats off to management and what they have built here and hitting the right staff.

What a beautiful hotel! Impeccably managed by John, perhaps the best hotel manager I've ever met! Every one from the staff was kind, very polite and provided and excellent service. Very Recommended!

I recently took my first trip to Santorini, and stayed at the Canaves Oia Boutique Hotel at the advice of a travel agent friend. I already cannot wait to return. We were greeted immediately by the hotel manager and made welcome to our suite. A chilled bottle of wine was waiting for us in the room which my husband thoroughly enjoyed, and the amenities were immaculate. The on-site restaurant was quick with some fabulous recommendations when I mentioned I don't drink alcohol. Their blueberry iced tea was far and above your typical mocktail. It wasn't just a cocktail without the alcohol; it was almost a work of art on its own. The views are second to none. The staff was friendly and professional. Best of all, sanitation and safety were spot on. As a caretaker of a cancer and heart patient at home, it is so important to take precautions to prevent the spread of illness. The front desk staff even arranged for a physician to come to the hotel to administer the PCR tests needed to return home. The hotel is situated literally within walking distance to the shopping and restaurant area in the town. There was so much to see and do, we didn't make it to any of the other towns nearby. If you plan to visit, there are boat tours to the small islands just off the coast, ATV rentals, horseback riding, walking tours, spas, photo studios and more that I'm probably not aware of. Due to the environment of the island and the steepness of the cliffs the hotel is built upon, it is not a location suitable for those who cannot easily walk or go up and down stairs. This has nothing to do with how accommodating and friendly the staff is. It's simply a fact of geography. It truly felt like a cozy, comfortable and glamorous home away from home, and I can't wait to return. The only feedback I would leave is that I wish the menu included more fully plant-based options. I realize Greek cuisine offers amazing meats and cheeses, but this normally vegan woman had a bit of a tough time. I can and do make exceptions to my dietary choices when on vacation, but a week of "exceptions" takes its toll, and I would have been beyond grateful for some place-based food that wasn't a salad or a fruit bowl. The condition of this hotel was second to none. The amenities, the cleanliness, the personality of every staff member... I can't recommend Canaves Oia enough!
