We got an upgrade from a pool suite to a pool villa, which was a great experience. The staff was extremely friendly and responsive, every wish was fulfilled in no time.
The portions for breakfast were too big so that we couldn’t finish all.

Amazing friendly staff. Cleanliness was exceptional. Considering this hotel isn’t brand new, it gave a brand new cleanliness vibe. Food was amazing. Little extras in the room were perfect. Overall this was a stunning hotel and would highly recommend. For us personally it was in a perfect location, just outside of the main village of Oia. The complimentary shuttle was great to go visit Oia but we were there for a relaxing short break and this hotel was perfect for that. Took the complimentary shuttle down to Ammoudi Bay, which is a must visit, and took the water taxi to the little fish restaurant which was lovely. I wouldn’t recommend this hotel for families with small children as the pool was infinity and a bit cold
nothing bad to say

Warm and professional check-in. The staff were very friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived.
The villa was spacious, extremely clean, well-organized, and included a private heated pool — a true luxury touch.
Hotel facilities were top-quality and beautifully maintained.
The breakfast is fully à la carte with no buffet. While the food quality was high, the variety was very limited — especially for pastries, fruits, and child-friendly options. For example, basic purées for kids were missing. The breakfast didn't quite meet the expectations for a hotel of this class and price.
Our two-bedroom villa was a duplex that goes downward with stairs at the entrance, which can be challenging for families with toddlers or strollers.
Despite the stunning property, the design of the duplex and the stairs made it a bit less convenient for us with a child.

The views are simply stunning! Even though the resort easily transported us to and from Oia to explore the town, we most enjoyed taking in the views from our room/patio/plunge pool. A very relaxing way to spend our anniversary. Breakfast offered a great range of options from light to heartier fare. The local, traditional eggs were delicious. The main lounge also served wonderful pre-dinner cocktails.
There was a lovely bread basket option at breakfast. It would've been a nice touch as an morning delivery to enjoy before or without having to visit the dining area.

I initially booked a 10-day stay, extended for another week, and now I’m extending yet again—this place is just that unreal!
The staff are incredibly helpful and always quick to respond. Our room is stunning—spacious, with a huge private pool. The daily room service is amazing, with thoughtful gifts left for us every day. The breakfast was excellent. This is hands down one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had, and I’m excited to be extending my stay for a second time! ☺️

The staff throughout were fantastic from when we were first greeted by Eleni at reception
We were very touched to be upgraded to a villa with wonderful pool (celebrating our engagement and my fiancé’s 60th. The only thing I felt uncomfortable with was the hotel’s policy of asking for a tip on the bill at checkout as I had already given a number of tips to staff in both cash and a couple on signing for drinks but then felt bad for not making further tips ‘on the tips’ and overall bill. Just something to reflect on maybe? - otherwise we found Canaves Epitome to be a stunning beautiful hotel.

The location for views and sunsets is amazing!!! It’s biggest draw. Staff are amazing and very tentative
Style over substance. Room was amazing view but not overly practical. Main pool area bring ear phones as the music (some very interesting lyrics) is so loud.

Wonderful facilities and lovely staff. Location is perfect for the Santorini Sunset. Didn't feel the need to leave the hotel during the day.
These are very minor gripes. The place is beautiful, and we had a wonderful stay.
- The staff were a little too attentive at times. Often felt like we were being rushed at mealtimes.
- Whilst the food and wine were very good it was extremely expensive for what it was.

Beautiful hotel in perfect location. Staff were friendly and anticipated every need. Shuttle to Center of town was easy to use. Breakfast and food was the best I’ve had at hotel. Couldn’t have asked for a better 4 days and was so sad to leave.

The hideaway pool suite was just stunning, felt like heaven on earth! The breakfast was amazing, delivered to the room, served so beautifully. Shuttle service excellent - it’s whenever you want. Staff were so friendly, and fulfilled every request. I had asked for helium to fill balloons I had brought and for a birthday cake - they arranged all this and such short notice.
Everything was Perfect!
