The Details That Made The List
Above the fog line. The Imerovigli elevation gives Grace a caldera perspective no Oia hotel can match — on the right morning it's otherworldly.
Bright, elegant rooms. Simple and white, and surprisingly luminous for a caldera property — many Santorini rooms run dark; these don't.
Exceptional dining. Michelin-starred chef Lefteris Lazarou personally visits tables — distinctly Greek, yet modern.
A honeymoon feel without Oia's foot traffic. For couples happy to trade the Oia postcard for altitude and quiet, the setting delivers.
The Fine Print, From Someone Who's Been
Room selection matters here. Some rooms sit along the Fira-to-Oia walking path. Book through me and I'll make sure yours is one of the secluded ones.
Choose the outdoor water features. Between Grace's top categories, I'd guide you to the outdoor plunge-pool rooms over the indoor hot tub suites — ask me and I'll explain the trade-offs for your dates.
Compare before committing. At this rate level, it's worth weighing Grace against my top five in the Santorini ranking — sometimes it wins, and I'll tell you when it does.
A genuinely beautiful property — at current rates I usually find stronger value elsewhere on the island, but when pricing aligns, Grace absolutely belongs in the conversation.
