Kasimatis by La Perla, Santorini

Kimkim team favorite · 4.9 (10 reviews) · Comfort
Modern adults-only hotel in a historic building with clear caldera views, private hot tubs, and a seasonal pool

Overview

Kasimatis by La Perla on Santorini offers a unique experience, as this small boutique property of 14 rooms is set in a renovated historic wine cellar, a canava, in a property spanning four floors. The hotel is very relaxed, but it should be noted the noise level varies. The hotel is designed to blend rustic with modern, embodying authentic Cycladic architectural styles like the classic white-washed walls blended with shades of vibrant blues. The property has a pool, but some guests can book suites with hot tubs overlooking the caldera. It’s important to note that only children over 13 can stay here, and the upper floors are only accessible by stairs.

Pros

  • The hotel offers a unique setting in a converted historic wine cellar.
  • There is a refreshing pool with a poolside bar and snack service.
  • Spa treatments can be provided in the rooms.
  • There is free parking for guests. Some rooms come with hot tubs and caldera views.

Cons

  • There is no elevator to the upper floors of the hotel.


Authenticity

Tradition blends with modern comforts in the adults-only Kasimatis by La Perla. The hotel is housed in a renovated canava or historic wine cellar, which makes its 14 rooms ideal for those who want a more authentic experience of the island's character.


Location

The hotel is located in the charming village of Imerovigli. Walk to Skaros Rock in 15 minutes to explore the fantastic caldera view and ruins of the medieval castle that once stood in this former capital of the island. Santorini's current capital of Fira is 10 minutes away by car, and its famous sunset village of Oia is 25.


Rooms & Bathrooms

The rooms feature whitewashed walls, curved lines, and neutral tones to accentuate the building's structure and natural beauty just outside your door. Amenities can include hot tubs and caldera views for those who want something extra special. Most rooms are doubles, making this ideal for couples or friends, while the Grand Suite can sleep up to four on sofabeds.


Amenities

You can take a plunge or a swim in the hotel pool during the day. There are places to lounge poolside, and the bar serves drinks and snacks you can take by the pool. Although there is no spa on-site, spa treatments can be provided in the room upon request, and there is a gym. There’s also free parking and car rental services. There is no elevator to the upper floors.

Family-Friendliness

Only children over 13 can stay at the property for safety reasons, so this is something to bear in mind if you’re a family with young children. Larger suites with connecting rooms are great for families with older children. The hotel can arrange a range of activities that will appeal to teens.

Other Highlights

Although there is no full restaurant at the hotel, only a snack bar, a continental breakfast can be served in the rooms for a fee.

We had the best time at this hotel!! We had a suite on the bottom side of the hiking path so it was much more private, the view was so amazing that we canceled our afternoon driver to just enjoy the room and view! The pool was too cold to get in but it was nice to sit by it. We had a hot tub on our balcony and enjoyed that too (a little cold for the chilly evenings but refreshing after hiking) the location was IDEAL. It was far enough from Fira and Oia to not deal with the crowds but close... Read more

What's not to love? An ocean view of the caldera and a very walkable location between Oia and Fira.
Made to order BREAKFAST WAS GREAT, SERVICE TO YOUR PRIVATE ROOM!
Nothing better than sitting in your private jacuzzi watching a Santorini sunset.
Female clerk at the front desk was one of the nicest and most attentive hotel staff members I have ever met.

Authenticity & Character
So very Santorini- on the caldera- it felt slightly like the cave style but also modern, clean and uniquely special
Location
This is the optimal location for visiting in the month of May to see a perfect sunset. Even in other months of the season I’m sure it is absolutely spectacular. It’s very convenient to walk and find restaurants and the bus station and shops in Imerovigoli.
Staff
All of the staff at this hotel were so eager to make our experience perfect. They are very proud of what they do on the island of Santorini and we were grateful to experience that. When we checked in and out, there was staff readily available to carry our luggage up the 125 steps to and from the street!
Cleanliness & Comfort
The staff is so attentive to cleanliness. Someone came around every morning to check the Jacuzzi to make sure it was clean and we had everything we needed.

We were in “the cave” room since there were 3 of us. All the other rooms had beautiful caldera views. We would have loved to have that view.
The hot tub was only lukewarm
