Snuggled on a hilltop surrounded by vineyards, Art Hotel Santorini sits just outside Pyrgos – one of the island’s most atmospheric, preserved villages and a former capital of Santorini. Whitewashed houses, blue-domed churches and tiny bell-clad chapels tumble down cobbled alleys, while the main square is dotted with dinky coffee shops and wine bars.

Being in the island’s centre means you’re well placed to explore both east and west coasts: dramatic caldera views and sunset spots in one direction, and volcanic beaches like Kamari in the other. Back at the hotel, the setting is peaceful and rural, with wide-open countryside and distant Aegean views doing the heavy lifting.

Pyrgos resort centre: approx. 850m
Kamari Beach: approx. 6km
Fira (Santorini’s capital): approx. 5–6km
Santorini Airport (JTR): approx. 6km

Approx. transfer time from airport: 35 minutes

Pyrgos, Santorini, Greece

There’s no cavernous buffet hall here – mornings are unhurried and bespoke. Stays at Art Hotel Santorini are on a Bed and Breakfast basis, with an à la carte breakfast typically served to your room or terrace so you can ease into the day in total privacy. Expect fresh Greek and international favourites, good coffee and that all-important view.

Pyrgos itself is a bit of a foodie hotspot, with excellent tavernas, meze bars and smart restaurants scattered around the village and castle – ideal if you like to dine somewhere different each evening and pair your stay with a little wine tasting.

The hotel’s calling card is its striking outdoor freshwater pool, finished in a deep ruby-red hue that creates a glamorous contrast with the whitewashed architecture. It’s fringed with sunbeds and loungers, with pool towels provided free of charge, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it ideal for quiet reading sessions or lazy afternoons between village strolls.

There’s no on-site beach, but Santorini’s volcanic shores are within easy reach. Kamari’s long, black-sand beach – lined with tavernas, loungers and watersports – is around 6km away, while the caldera-side sunset spots of Fira and Imerovigli are a short drive in the opposite direction.

Art Hotel Santorini is all about slow, indulgent downtime rather than a packed activities schedule. There’s no formal gym or organised entertainment, but the team can help with island experiences such as wine estate visits, sailing excursions, or transfers into Fira and Oia (local charges may apply).

On site you’ll find:
• Outdoor freshwater pool with sunbathing area
• Free pool towels
• Reception and concierge (open approx. 14 hours daily)
• Currency exchange (local charge)
