Phenomenal hotel - amazing view of the sunset. Far better than staying on the caldera. Quiet, gorgeous view, and a pool that made us not want to leave the hotel.

This is the best hotel we’ve ever stayed in. The views of the sea are unreal! The room is so beautiful and thoughtfully designed. The restaurants on site are fantastic! The customer service is so kind and helpful! The only problem with this hotel is you will compare it with every hotel you ever stay at again. I can’t recommend this property enough!! It’s just phenomenal!

We stayed here for our honeymoon and it was an amazing experience. Very friendly and helpful staff, amazing hospitality, they welcomed us and helped us with tours and everything. It was the best choice and experience and we would definitely recommend it.
10.0 / 10.0
Amazing experience. From the moment you walk in they will cater above and beyond your needs. What makes this place special compared to the usual places that Santorini has to offer is its exclusive view of the sunset. Breakfast was also amazing as there were lots of options as well as great food. 11/10 would recommend and come again.

We enjoyed our stay at Canaves Oia Epitome. The location is excellent - close to Oia, but down the hill, so it feels private. The staff was aware that it was our 25th anniversary, so they placed rose petals, chocolates, and wine in our room upon arrival. While this detail was wonderful, the resort did feel a little too big and it was a bit impersonal. We had made a dinner reservation with guest services in advance to celebrate, and they had no idea. The breakfast was nice. The private pools are great. We didn't have the best view (blocked by a long stone wall), but we could certainly relax and enjoy the sunset. They even turned up the pool temperature for us. We did have an issue a time or two (in the beginning) with the shuttle. We were told a shuttle would be there to pick us up in 5 minutes and 20 minutes later, we opted to walk back to the resort. Overall, that was a nice amenity, though.

Incredible stay at a beautiful hotel with the highlight being the service from hotel staff, who were polite and friendly and added lots of personal touches throughout our visit.
10.0 / 10.0
If I could give more than 5-stars, I would. The service here is top-notch and really elevated the overall experience. The 24-hour complimentary shuttle service, being able to chat with staff via text at any time, the recommendations they offered for restaurants and nearby activities, the food, the ability to request our private pool be warmed, the gym, etc.
Also, our room itself was beautiful. We stayed in the Hideaway Pool Suite and it felt like it was just my husband and I tucked away on our own little cliff-side room in Santorini with the most romantic sunset views. It was perfect.

Exquisite luxury with immaculate and breathtaking grounds. Staff and service above and beyond what we were expecting! Privacy and intimate setting well thought out. Our two bedroom villa with private pool felt as though we were the only ones on the resort!

This is a fantastic hotel and couldn’t recommend it enough! Every single staff member is kind beyond words. They were always one step ahead of us and made our stay in Santorini unforgettable. If it weren’t for them, but and the beautiful resort, our trip wouldn’t have been the same. The honeymoon suite is perfect for 2 people and the photos do not do it justice. The location was preferable to inside of Oia for us. We will cherish the memories and definitely be back one day!

Amazing resort with super friendly and down to earth staff. We enjoyed our time here and it is the best hotel we’ve stayed in to date. The team made us feel very special and cared for and the hospitality is on another level. They went beyond their call of duty to ensure all of our needs were met. I am definitely coming back!

How to describe such bliss? We stayed in the honeymoon suite and enjoyed not one but two floors of impeccable design and splendor. The staff went out of their way to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. Worth the expense and would return any day. The pool, the views, the relaxed atmosphere were beyond expectation.

This place blew me away! It is modern, clean, spacious and has great customer service. They upgraded us to a 2 bedroom Villa and Wow! Just wow! Literally everything WOW! 5 star in room dinning and 5 star breakfast. Huge pool in your room. Don’t get me wrong you PAY for it, but is worth every penny. If you’re looking for an upscale luxury, blew you away stay with an amazing sunset view. Pick here!

Due to Covid we were transfered to the sister Canaves Oia Suites, where we received a room upgrade. The changed had been previously informed. We stayed in swimming pool suite, just opened. The room was fantastic, beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The staff in the hotel (reception, support team and spa), as well as the waiters and bar staff was super friendly, polite and helpful. The hotel is very well situated in the pretty village of Oia and offer stunning views. We would definitely return and can recommend it.

This is the best property in Oia for sunset views. All of the sunset cruises come to this spot each evening. You are about 5 minutes from town so you also do not have to deal with the crowds so it feels more private. They have a free shuttle to town and we used it multiple times per day and we loved the driver, George. Breakfast is included and was great everyday. I cannot say enough good things about this property. We were upgraded to a private pool villa and I highly recommend that!
