“We stayed four nights at this property and it was absolutely incredible. The staff is absolutely awesome. The food is absolutely the best hotel food I have ever had. The breakfast is amazing. The poolside menu is absolutely amazing. The staff is so super friendly. The room was to die for. We were absolutely blown away at this property. We are so happy. We stayed here and made our lives so great while they’re in Santorini. It is very exclusive hotel very very nice very well. Kept the staff. Does an amazing job of cleaning the rooms two times per day. Of course it is expensive, but it is absolutely one of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at.”

“We had our wedding at this amazing hotel with our five daughters. It was an experience we will take with us for the rest of our lives! The hotel is a postcard at every turn with stunning views of the Aegean Sea. We selected and reserved the balcony before we were even officially engaged because we both knew that was where we wanted our wedding. The staff was so accommodating and we never wanted for anything. Our wedding coordinator, Margarita was the kindest and warmest person we could have hoped for and she made every wish we had come true down to the slightest details.”

“We absolutely loved our stay at Canaves. The location was perfect for walking around Oia, while the hotel itself still felt private, peaceful, and romantic. Our room was beautiful and we loved the unique cave design and sense of privacy. The quality and level of luxury throughout the property were exceptional, and the staff were consistently friendly and helpful. We also thought the food was outstanding—we had both breakfast and lunch during our stay and were very impressed. Overall, a really special experience and one of the highlights of our trip.”

“A breathtaking wedding venue with truly exceptional service. We had our wedding at the Panorama Balcony at Canaves Oia Suites, and it was everything we hoped it would be. The setting is almost impossible to describe without sounding exaggerated. The balcony, the caldera views, the sunset, and the overall atmosphere were absolutely stunning. Our wedding photos from the balcony are some of the most beautiful pictures we have ever seen. What made the experience even more special was Melanie. From the very beginning, she was incredibly patient, organized, kind, and thorough. She walked us through every detail carefully, helped us coordinate vendors, and answered all of our questions. The day before the wedding, she met us for a walkthrough and could not have been more gracious and professional. Her attention to detail and genuine kindness made such a difference. On the wedding day itself, everything came together beautifully. The venue was elegant, the setup was perfect, and the views were unforgettable. We could not have asked for better service or a more spectacular place to get married. Canaves Oia Suites gave us the Santorini wedding we had dreamed of, and Melanie was a huge reason it felt so seamless and special. We are incredibly grateful and could not recommend the Panorama Balcony more highly.”

The view was absolutely stunning, and the location was perfect, making it easy to enjoy everything the area has to offer. Most importantly, the staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. They made us feel truly valued and went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable. We highly recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again!”
