Alta Vista suites (altavistasuites.com), the beautiful new addition to Santorini’s hotel scene, opens its doors on 1st May.
The exclusive three suite property is the newest within the Aqua Vista portfolio (www.aquavistahotels.com), a group of remarkable accommodations in great locations across Santorini and Crete.
Perched high at the cliffs of Imerovigli, 3km from the island’s capital Fira, the hotel has glorious views of the Aegean and the volcano and belongs to Greek pop star and one time Eurovision song contest entrant Michalis Hatzigiannis.
The styling and layout are strongly focused towards romance and Alta Vista is predicted to prove highly regarded with honeymooners. The 3 suites, Passion, Senses and Love, each sit on their lonesome level, giving guests complete privacy and seclusion. They’re individually designed and furnished in an easy, elegant, Cycladic style and decorated with contemporary artefacts by prominent designers including Jaime Hayon and Patricia Urquiola. All have expansive outdoor space with views out over the Caldera and there’s also a phenomenal pool and cave style eating area.
Continuing the romance theme, Alta Vista’s 200sq metre patio is an excellent spot for a marriage ceremony and reception, allowing couples to tie the knot in spectacular style. It will possibly host as much as 50 guests and is an incredibly rare space inside the often cramped and impossibly steep caldera cliff edge.
Alta Vista’s location at one end of Imerovigli means at night there’s also a superb illuminated view of the village along the cliff edge.
Room rates start at 180 euros per night including champagne breakfast.
