Perched dramatically on the caldera cliffs of Santorini near Imerovigli, The Vasilicos is a secluded collection of hyposkafa cave-style suites offering sweeping views of the volcanic caldera and Aegean Sea. Its elevated position ensures utter privacy and serene silence, making it a sanctuary for travelers seeking refined elegance and natural beauty on the famed Cycladic island.
The Vasilicos offers seven uniquely designed suites, each carved into the caldera’s cliffside and shaped by the natural curves of the rock. All suites open onto private terraces with sweeping views over the Santorini caldera. Daphne’s Suite retains its original grandeur with vaulted ceilings and antique furnishings. Pergola features a dreamy canopied terrace, perfect for watching the sun melt into the sea, and Efta—the coziest of the suites—feels like a private cocoon with all the comforts of larger accommodations. Each space is individually decorated with a curated selection of heirlooms, contemporary art, and custom pieces, making no two stays the same.
Breakfast at The Vasilicos is a regal affair—literally “Vasilicos,” meaning fit for a king. Served on your private terrace with caldera views, it reflects the island’s flavors and the hotel’s hospitality ethos: generous, unpretentious, and authentic. Expect a generous spread celebrating Greece’s best: yogurt, aromatic summer fruits, local honey, fresh breads and pastries, cereals, cheeses, and charcuterie. In the evening, guests can elevate the experience even further with a private caldera candlelight dinner for two, curated with seasonal menus and exquisite Greek wines, set on your terrace.
Facilities include: heated pools, free parking, and a quiet lounge with an honesty bar. A small wellness & spa offering massages is available in-suite or arranged externally. The Vasilicos is a base for exploring Santorini beyond the usual crowds: personalized excursions, wine tours (especially through their Vassaltis Vineyard), or sunset walks. The concierge team crafts bespoke itineraries—from hidden wineries to lesser-known archaeological sites.
The Vasilicos is Daphne’s passion project, transforming her family’s former summer retreat into one of Santorini’s most distinctive boutique hotels. Every corner of the property carries memories and meaning, enriched with pieces from her heritage and thoughtfully curated design. But what truly brings the place to life is the V Team—a dedicated, tight-knit crew who return each season with infectious energy and unwavering care. They remember your name, favorite breakfast, and quiet corner on the terrace. Attentive yet discreet, they are the arms, legs, and beating heart of The Vasilicos—an embodiment of Daphne’s vision of genuine hospitality.
