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.
The hotel is beautiful. Immaculate!! The vibe is so chilled and all staff are so friendly and helpful. Have to say a special thank you to Mary for serving our breakfast every morning and our little morning chats🤗 The breakfast by the way is exceptional!! We will definitely return at some point. Thank you Carpe Diem we had a wonderful holiday Xx
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.
We stayed at Carpe Diem in the signature suite the first two weeks of September. The environment is quiet and cosy. The room was private and has a wonderful view of Fira, Oia and the sea. Mary at breakfast is wonderful providing a great service where nothing is too much trouble. The breakfast menu rotates on a 5 day basis and offers a great selection of fruit, yoghurt, eggs, cake, bread / toast etc. Chris and Arestis who work reception are also friendly and were happy to help with any of our requests. The rooms are clean and the pools are cleaned daily. We enjoyed the area with lots of good quality local restaurants. The hotel is based at the bottom of a very steep hill so wouldn't be suitable for anyone with access issues but its worth it if you can manage the hill. We hired a car and found that the island was easy to navigate. Fira is just a 15 minute drive and Oia around 20 minutes. Both are worth a visit but go before 10am to avoid the crowds. Thank you Carpe Diem for helping us to have a truly relaxing break.
We stayed at Carpe Diem in October and booked the trip as a relaxation trip after. abusy year. The venue is away from the hustle and bustle of the main towns of Santorini which was nice as we like to explore. It is a steep climb in and out of the hotel on an uneven surface, not for high heels, pack flat shoes/trainers! Rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was a highlight and always served with a smile and friendly conversation. We enjoyed the chef's private dinner one night which was another highlight and highly recommend. We had purchased 2 bottles of wine from the local vineyard to enjoy in our room during our stay and were a little disappointed to be told we couldn't use the fridge to chill one bottle as the mini bar items had to stay in there. We did spend 150 euros on meals and other mini bar items during our 5 night stay so we did feel this was a little unecessary. The plunge pool was too cold to use during our stay but the balcony was spacious enough to move the sun loungers round to catch the last of the summer sun. All in all it was a relaxing stay and exactly what we were looking for.
