Aghios Artemios Traditional Houses in Imerovigli (Santorini)

Aghios Artemios Traditional Houses is set in a restored 15th-century building complex 100 metres above the sea on Santorini's east coast. The property's grounds include a 600-year-old church, and the whitewashed buildings are arranged around a scenic churchyard filled with bougainvillea. Rooms are carved into the rock as cave-style accommodations, a building method rarely found in other hotels on the island.

Each room is individually decorated with blue and white colours, built-in beds, and traditional furnishings. All units have views of the churchyard or the Aegean Sea, and some include a private terrace. Every room comes with a satellite TV, a fridge, and an en-suite bathroom.

Breakfast is served in the spacious dining room or on the sun terrace overlooking the sea, offering homemade Greek yogurt with honey and fresh breads. The on-site restaurant serves traditional Greek cuisine such as Santorini pasta and house salad, at prices guests describe as good value. A pool bar provides drinks and light meals throughout the day.

The swimming pool offers panoramic views over the Aegean Sea, with sun loungers and umbrellas provided. Guests have access to a tennis court and a well-equipped fitness centre, while massages can be arranged through reception. The hotel also has a chapel, a garden, BBQ facilities, and a sun terrace for relaxation.

The hotel sits 4 km from Fira, Santorini's capital, and within a 10-minute drive of quiet beaches such as Pori, Kolumbo, and Baxedes. Complimentary transportation arrangements - including airport transfers, car rentals, and ATV hire - are organised by the staff. Free private parking is available on site, and a bus stop lies directly below the property.
