Authenticity

Santorini's LimeStone exudes authenticity through its integration of natural elements, especially its utilization of local limestone, which resonates with the island's volcanic landscape. The traditional cave-like architecture harkens back to the historical dwellings of the islanders, offering an immersive cultural experience. The hotel's aesthetic, blended with contemporary luxury, reflects a deep respect for the island's heritage. It's a sanctuary that honors Santorini's past while providing modern comforts and local flavor.

Location

Within a 10-minute walk of Fira's central square, LimeStone Santorini is superbly located for guests eager to explore the island. Shopping areas and a kaleidoscope of dining options are similarly close, fostering a leisurely exploration of local culture and cuisine. While the hotel overlooks the magnificent caldera, the nearest beach is a 20-minute drive away. Guests can enjoy the convenience of being in a tourist hub without compromising on peace and privacy.

Rooms & Bathrooms

LimeStone Santorini's rooms feature COCO-MAT mattresses and a diverse pillow menu. Guests can enjoy spacious showers built into the natural limestone, ample counter space, and luxury bath products. Though some spaces share their designs with traditional cave homes, providing limited natural lighting, the design remains true to the Santorinian heritage while incorporating elements of luxury living.

Amenities

The hotel's amenities include a large, open terrace, turn-down service, and premium concierge service. There's no gym, pool, or spa on-site, but each suite includes a private hot tub. Due to the old architecture, cobblestone pathways, and limestone stairs leading to some suites, the hotel isn't accessible for travelers with limited mobility. 

Family-Friendliness

Due to the geographical setting, Limestone Santorini doesn't allow younger children (and this is true of other hotels in the area). It allows children ages 12 and above at no extra charge, provided the number of guests per suite is within the permitted limit. The Superior Suite is the most family-friendly. Extra beds are not available.  

Other Highlights

Breakfast is served directly to rooms. Guests pre-order from a menu that includes yogurt, freshly baked bread, dried fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses, juices, and coffee. The options accommodate vegetarian or gluten-free diets. Each suite also has a refrigerator and mini-bar with snacks and drinks available for purchase, but the hotel doesn't have a restaurant or bar.
