Celestia Grand

We happened upon this exclusive set of villas by chance as recommended by their sister hotel, the Petit Palace and their charming and very genuine GM, Kostas when the original accommodation didn't work out. Service is clearly an absolute top priority for this hotel group - the Caldera Collection. They simply want you to be happy and to have a wonderful holiday. It is not just about the money. Right from the start, Nicos, the charismatic Canadian-Greek manager at Celestia made us feel at home with his down to earth and earnest approach. Not difficult in such breathtaking (and I mean, truly breathtaking, surroundings). But we felt he again genuinely had our best interests at heart inn finding the right accommodation for us. My daughter and I were given the private honeymoon villa and it had an exquisite panoramic view of the entire Caldera coastline - the sun set dips like a fireball right in front of you in the evenings. Out of this world. And all of this viewed from a private terrace with your own beautiful infinity pool finished in iridescent blue tiles, large jacuzzi, canopied or recessed double daybed options, alongside the usual plush loungers etc. There is also seating under a gazebo for private dining if you don't fancy going out (which you won't!) The food is also delicious - made to order next door at another of the hotel's accommodations the Volcanic View. Every morning breakfast (again, delicious and plentiful and included in the price) is served on your terrace. Nicos even made us his own homemade delicious cocktails on the house while we waited for a boat tour that he organised for us. Honestly, I cried on a couple of occasions, I felt so looked after and so grateful to have happened upon this place. Yes, it's expensive and yes it's a luxurious treat but trust me you won't regret it. It is worth every penny and more. It is a 5************ home from home that you'll want to return to.

You will not find a better place to stay while in Santorini! Niko, Bobby, Roko, and crew made our stay extra special! They had every single detail covered and were proactive in helping us plan the best trip! I can not say enough about the Villas and the staff! We fell in love with them and our place within the first 5 minutes of being there! When you plan a vacation, you want everything to be perfect…they exceeded our expectations. The villa was one we won’t forget as well! We have high expectations when we travel and this place was a 20/10! Thank you for making our stay extra special! We already miss it!!! We will be back!

Absolutely amazing hotel. Stayed in the Sapphire suite. Unobstructed, gorgeous view of the sunset every night. Short distance to Fira. Niko was the best. Restaurant recs were all on point. Made sure to check in every day so we made the most of our trip. Breakfast delivered to your room every morning was exceptional. Highly recommend. Don’t forget to book Christos for your island tours.
