Good, but not a 5 star experience
We went to Carpe Diem in Santorini for a relaxing break and that's exactly what we got. The hotel is situated approximately a 15 minute walk outside the village of Pyrgos in the middle of Santorini. The hotel was very clean and comfortable, with very friendly staff and excellent maid service. Although there's an infinity pool, it's largely redundant due to there being no seating and only 2 sunbeds nearby. Each room has its own terrace which a whirlpool or plunge pool. The breakfasts were very nice, with a decent selection of food.
The hotel is listed as 5 star, I wouldn't go this far as there's virtually no food available after 4pm, the shower had paint peeling off and the 'road' to and from the hotel is quite steep and unlit at night, some sort of transport in and out of the village would have been nice.
Pyrgos is very nice with a good selection of bars and restaurants that weren't too expensive, we'd definitely return to Pyrgos, but perhaps not Carpe Diem as the walk in and out of the village was too much.

A relaxing stay in Pyrgos Santorini
I enjoyed my stay at Carpe Diem Santorini. The accommodation was comfortable, clean and welcoming. The staff are really good - friendly, helpful & attentive. A very relaxing place.
Ambience
Really relaxing ambient atmosphere. The junior suite was exquisite; housekeeping came discreetly whilst I was at breakfast. I hadn't noticed the umbrella shade was broken however, a member of staff apologised and fixed it immediately. A healthy, delicious breakfast was served and varied daily. Each room has it's own whirlpool and you are concealed from your neighbours. The view is out of this world and to see the sunset at the end of the day from my room is something I will not forget. The staff are absolutely fantastic and cater to your needs.
A stunning place!
A wonderful place!
Everywhere was pristine and the staff were friendly and welcoming! It was the perfect place for rest and relaxation! About a 10 min walk to the local food/drinks but we enjoyed it. The killer hill outside the hotel isn’t for the faint hearted.
Breakfast was gorgeous each morning and we tried lots of new Greek cuisine!
