Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
By Axel Hernborg · Updated 2 September 2026 · How we review hotels
Perivolas Hotel is ideal for travellers drawn to the famous infinity pool and those wanting to stay close to Oia without the crowds. Restored from 300-year-old cave houses, its 22 suites have earned a booking score of 9.8 from 142 reviews. The property is strictly couples' territory, with no children under 16 allowed. Furthermore, the authentic cave architecture means there are few conventional windows inside the rooms.
Guests score it 9.8 out of 10 — the average across the 17 hotels we list in Santorini is 9.4.
What Guests Loved
- Perivolas's pool edge dissolving into the caldera is among the most photographed hotel views on earth — the hotel graced more CNT covers than any other.
- The 22 cave houses were wine cellars and fishermen's homes; the restoration kept their vaulted forms.
- Repeated Condé Nast Traveler Gold List honours
- Short walk from Oia without the crowds
Things to Consider
- The hotel's serenity is protected by an adults-oriented policy — families should look elsewhere on the island.
- Cave architecture means few conventional windows
