Canaves Oia Epitome

Everything is wonderful! Beautiful service, rooms and restaurants. A paradise outside of the busy streets of the center of Oia we celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary here where they did special touches like balloons in our room and rose petals on the table as you enter the room. Our room with a private plunge pool overlooking the water was truly spectacular. The bed was wonderfully comfortable and I would give this hotel a 10 out of 10 rating,

I spent a lot of time researching 5 star hotels in Oia and speaking with travel agents. There are a lot of hotels in Oia that are highly rated with strong reviews so picking the right one was difficult. Many of the hotels offer tiny accommodations in the village with strangely shaped rooms in a cave like atmosphere with limited privacy. I was looking for something that was very modern and high end, with a nice pool and well designed rooms. I would highly recommend Canaves Epitome. We stayed for three nights in two adjacent rooms, each with its own private pool, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. The rooms are beautifully designed with lots of space, shelf’s and thoughtful amenities, like the motorized shades on both the front and back windows. There is plants of space outside of the room to sit by the private pool with great views of the sea in complete privacy. The main pool area was stunning, with sleek architecture and a tranquil vibe. We enjoyed the free breakfast each morning and thought the selection was very good. Highly recommend to try their Detox juice. The hotel offers private transfer service to and from Oia which is very convenient. We liked staying away from the main village while being within a short driving distance away from it. Overall, we would highly recommend Canaves Epitome if you are looking for a quite high end hotel with beautiful sunset views, individual pools, privacy and luxury accommodation in Oia.

We stay at lots of high end hotels across the world and this was one of the best. Rooms are gigantic, spacious, well appointed and in excellent condition. From The moment you step onto the property the service is exceptional. We had a minor hiccup at the restaurant and the way it was handled was extremely professional. This hotel warrants the price for the stay.

Our experience at Canaves Epitome was nothing short of exceptional. The property itself is stunning - beautifully designed rooms with sweeping views, but what truly sets it apart is the outstanding service. From start to finish, the staff took care of us every step of the way. They were warm, responsive, and genuinely committed to making our stay perfect. It’s hands-down some of the best service we’ve ever received anywhere. In fact, we were so impressed that we actually changed our return itinerary just so we could come back and stay again for two nights. If that doesn’t speak volumes, I don’t know what does. We’ll never stay anywhere else in Santorini. One tip for future guests: if you have your heart set on a specific room you’ve seen online, be sure to clearly request it when booking, as room layouts can vary. Highly recommended - Canaves Epitome is truly in a league of its own.

This really is a remarkable hotel. While it’s dar from cheap it’s worth every penny. The rooms are amazing either great views, plunge pools and great features like huge showers and fine toiletries. The restaurant is really good and I really recommend the breakfast by the main pool in the morning. There’s a gym and spa as well. Close to town with a free shuttle bus but walkable if you are careful and avoid the crazy drivers.
