Perivolas Traditional Houses Santorini

*****

Perivolas is the ultimate in laidback luxury. Poised on the cliff high above the Aegean, this intimate escape is designed as a place where you can let the rest of the world slip away. Built amphitheatrically, Perivolas’ secluded location combines expansive views with the luxury of absolute tranquility. It’s just a short walk from Oia, the most beautiful village on Greece’s most romantic and dramatic island, Santorini. Terraced gardens spill down the slope to the infinity pool, which seems to slip off the rim of the cliff and bleed into the blue horizon. Only the occasional toll of church bells or the whistle of a fishing boat far below breaks the meditative silence. It is easy to linger here all day, watching the changing light until the sun settles into the sea.


Originally designed as a family home, Perivolas still feels like a private residence. Intimate in scale and atmosphere, every house is different. Built by native craftsmen using local materials, interiors embody Cycladic style, with its organic forms and smooth surfaces. Breezy rooms are naturally cooled by sculpted stone walls and vaulted ceilings pierced by skylights. Beds are built into snug alcoves, adorned with a posy of hand-picked flowers. Niches and archways are scooped out of whitewashed walls, low-slung sofas offset by hand-woven rugs and cushions in vivid fuchsia and lilac. Timeless and quietly glamorous, interiors are pared down so that nothing distracts from the show-stopping views and nothing disturbs the intensity of the stillness. Nothing is superfluous, yet nothing has been overlooked. There are no TVs and DVDs – this is a place to switch off. A place to read, recharge, relax; to sleep, rest, and dream.


Spend quality time refreshing body and soul in the nurturing environment of the Perivolas Wellness Studio.Our studio hosts a 24-hour a day fitness room, exclusive for our guests, with its state-of-the-art equipment for cardiovascular and strength training programs coupled with astonishing caldera views. Surrender yourself to the surrounding peace in the outdoor jacuzzi overlooking the volcano, or relax in the sheltering environment of the steam room and sauna followed by a rejuvenating jet shower.

The magnificent Infinity Pool at Perivolas exudes Aegean luxury. It’s simple elegance set in perfect harmony with the majestic scenery defines the true essence of Santorini chic. As a focal point of the hotel facilities, the swimming pool offers a spectacular setting from which to delight in afternoon cocktails and take in the beautiful sunset. Umbrellas and sun loungers offer you the comfort to relax and enjoy the invigorating Aegean sun.

Dining In a converted wine cellar, Perivolas restaurant caters exclusively to its guests. The chef uses the flavorful seasonal local produce to create contemporary Greek dishes. As with everything at Perivolas, the emphasis is on the finest quality seasonal ingredients, served with unaffected simplicity. The poolside terrace offers the perfect dining experience as well as great views of the sunset. For cocktails or dinner, gather around the candlelit poolside and delight your palate under a starlit sky.

Dining

When it comes to food, variety - as the old saying goes - is the spice

of life. At this beautiful beachside hotel, however, it’s more than just

‘spice’.

It’s an essential element – a main ingredient. Because where some

people eat to live, the Greeks live to eat, finding immense enjoyment

in a variety of simple but delicious flavors.

At Aldemar’s Knossos Royal, you can sample these for yourself in our

many and varied restaurants, from the gourmet surroundings of

Fontana Amorosa and the classic Greek cuisine of taverna Artemis to

our authentic Italian Pizzeria.

And for wining after dining there’s the Manitari Bar, the Cellar wine

bar and Aquarius nightclub. And Greece wouldn’t be Greece without

an “ouzeri”, of course…
