Armenaki Santorini
Positioned just a few meters away from the most memorable blue domes in the world, Armenaki draws its a name from a bay few know.
The thrilling view of the Caldera stands as the backdrop of every moment at Armenaki. The airy sense of floating above the Aegean is balanced by the earthly, calming mood inside the hotel’s private spaces.
Armenaki freshly redefines Cycladic style by fusing Santorini’s traditional architecture with contemporary design, through the use of natural materials and earthy textures.
In such a popular destination, the sense of locality and authenticity equals the highest form of luxury.
"This hotel is exactly what you would expect as the perfect hotel in Santorini. You literally go "inside the postcard": typical, simple, spacious and luxurious room with all amenities. Amazing view on the caldeira with perfectly sized swimming pool and terrace for the place. Of course you need to go through typical Oía stairs to reach the hotel, but what an amazing satisfaction when you come back to your room. Oia is definitely the good city to be in for Santorini. Service was incredible with an amazing support of all team, always with smile and courtesy, since before travel to back home. We tested the gorgeous breakfasts and it can't be much satisfying. We got all necessary support and advices from the team to spend one of our most amazing travel. So nice memories," one vacationer posted on Tripadvisor.
