Our take
Hotel Thireas scores 9.0 from 275 reviews for a setting that is hard to beat: a former traditional villa on the caldera edge in Fira, volcano and sea views from balcony rooms, an outdoor pool and spa and wellness facilities, all three minutes on foot from the centre. I would book it for families or couples who want the caldera without giving up a pool. Light sleepers may notice the closeness to town.
- ✓Book a room with a caldera or volcano view to fully experience Santorini's iconic scenery.
- ✓Take advantage of the hotel's reception services for booking excursions or car rentals to explore the island.
- ✓Walk into Fira town in the evenings to enjoy dinner and watch the sunset from one of the many viewpoints.
Why we love it

Why guests love itHotel Thireas is a former traditional villa on the caldera edge, and it is one of the few Fira addresses where I find an outdoor pool alongside the view, which matters with children on Santorini. Rooms have balconies facing the volcano and the sea, plus air-conditioning and minibars. Fira's centre is a three-minute walk, so meals and bus trips stay easy. Parents can use the spa and wellness facilities. Cliffside hotels often involve steps, so plan for that with small children.
