Map & location
Imerovigli, Santorini, Greece
San Antonio Hotel sits on the caldera edge just outside Imerovigli, one of Santorini’s most sought-after, quietly chic villages. You’re on the famous cliff path that links Oia with Fira, so sunrise and sunset strolls are right on your doorstep, but the hotel itself feels removed from the bustle – ideal if you prefer birdsong and the sound of the waves far below to busy bars.
Imerovigli’s sugar-cube houses and blue-domed churches are a short drive away, while the capital Fira and photogenic Oia can be reached easily for dinners, shopping and sightseeing before you retreat back to your peaceful cliffside bolthole.
- Approx. transfer time from airport 30 minutes
Facilities
Pool & outdoors
The star of the show is the outdoor freshwater infinity pool, seemingly merging into the Aegean with uninterrupted caldera views. Carved into the volcanic rock and edged with cushioned sunbeds and parasols, it’s made for long, lazy days with a book and a glass of something chilled from the lounge bar.
Complimentary pool towels are provided, and the pool typically operates between April and October, weather permitting. There’s no direct beach access from the cliff, but you’re around 5 km from the nearest beach if you fancy a change of scene – and your concierge can help arrange taxis or car hire.
Spa, sports & wellness
Wellness comes courtesy of the intimate spa, tucked into the rock with a cocooning feel. Facilities usually include a sauna, steam room and whirlpool, alongside a menu of massages and beauty treatments (all at extra charge). The spa generally opens between 10:00 and 19:00 from April to October, but hours can vary with season and occupancy.
San Antonio is all about slow travel rather than non-stop activities. There’s no formal gym or sports programme, but you have direct access to the caldera path – ideal for scenic walks towards Imerovigli, Oia or Fira.
Additional practical facilities include:
• 24-hour reception and concierge service
• Luggage storage for early arrivals/late departures
• Equipment hire, including motorised scooters (extra charge)
• Certified sustainable hotel practices, helping to reduce the footprint of your stay

Food & drink
Wake up to à la carte breakfast at the Cliffside Restaurant, where eggs, pastries and Greek flavours are served right by the pool with sweeping caldera views. The same space transforms throughout the day for leisurely lunches and romantic dinners, showcasing fresh Mediterranean dishes and local produce.
A relaxed lounge bar and snack bar sits beside the pool, serving quality local, international and premium drinks along with light bites from morning until late evening (typically 08:00–23:00 in season).
