Santorini Palace
Central Fira hotel with a free-form pool and Aegean views
About this hotel
Located in the heart of Fira, the Santorini Palace offers a refreshing escape with its free-form pool, a welcome sight after a day of exploring the island. Guests can choose between rooms with balconies overlooking the tranquil gardens or the expansive Aegean Sea. The hotel's restaurant serves international dishes for dinner, complemented by a poolside snack bar for lighter fare and drinks throughout the day. Its central position means the iconic Caldera and a variety of dining options are just a short stroll away, providing easy access to the vibrant life of Santorini's capital.

Our take
Santorini Palace scores 9.4 from more than 1,100 reviews, and it combines a central Fira position with a free-form pool and a fitness centre. Rooms open onto balconies facing the garden or the Aegean, and the caldera and the town's restaurants are a walk away. I recommend this four-star hotel to travellers who want to explore Santorini from its capital without giving up a pool. Those looking for a quiet village setting should consider Oia or Imerovigli instead.
- ✓Opt for a room with an Aegean Sea view balcony to enjoy the expansive blue horizon.
- ✓Take advantage of the central location to walk to the Caldera and explore Fira's dining scene.
- ✓Start your day with the buffet breakfast before heading out to discover Santorini.

Why guests love itSantorini Palace gives families a central base in Fira with something many hotels in the capital lack: a free-form pool, which makes a good break for children between outings. Rooms have balconies with garden or Aegean views, air conditioning and a minibar, and the caldera edge and local restaurants are within walking distance, so evenings need no transport. There is also a fitness centre. With a 9.4 score from more than 1,100 reviews, I would choose it for a family stay in Fira.
