Caldera-rim location with wide-open views over the sea and volcano

WHY WE PICKED THIS HOTEL

Goulielmos sits on the caldera in Akrotiri, where the views are just as expansive but the atmosphere is noticeably quieter, giving you space, light, and stillness without sacrificing the drama Santorini is known for.

HOTEL DESCRIPTION

Goulielmos Hotel & Spa is a small, family-run hotel set on Santorini’s caldera rim near Akrotiri, with big views out to the volcano and the Aegean. It feels quieter and more open than the busy parts of the island, so you get that classic Santorini scenery without the constant crowds. The setting is made for slow mornings and unhurried evenings, with the sea stretching out in front of you. Days here are simple and easy. There’s a shared outdoor pool with caldera views, plus The Edge restaurant and bar for Greek and Mediterranean dishes, snacks, and daytime drinks. Breakfast is served à la carte, and you can have it in your room or out on the terrace, depending on how you feel that morning. For spa time, think treatments and massages rather than a big wellness complex.

Our take on the stay

Bob

This is Santorini for people who want space. Pool time, dinner on site, and views that make even a quiet night feel like an event.

Santorini

Santorini is an island shaped by light and landscape, with whitewashed villages clinging to dramatic cliffs above the Aegean Sea. Life here moves between quiet mornings, sweeping caldera views, and unforgettable sunsets that colour the sky each evening. Hotel Goulielmos sits peacefully on the edge of the caldera, offering open views and a calm setting away from the crowds. It’s an ideal base for experiencing Santorini at a slower, more serene pace.
