Esperas Hotel is a family-run hotel in Oia, on the island of Santorini in the South Aegean, Greece. It is also known as Esperas Santorini, and it is the kind of place that suits travellers who want a base in one of the island's best-known villages.
The rooms and the setting
The hotel offers traditional cave houses that have been fitted with modern amenities, so guests can enjoy the character of the local architecture without giving up everyday comforts. Oia is built along the rim of the caldera, and the hotel's position gives many guests views over the water and the volcanic cliffs below.
What the visit is like
Esperas is known for its warm hospitality, which is often the first thing guests remember about a stay here. As a family-run property, it has the personal feel of a place where the people who welcome you are also the people who look after it.
Because the hotel sits in Oia, guests are within walking distance of the village's lanes, its shops and restaurants, and its sunset viewpoints, which draw visitors from across the island each evening. Oia is also a convenient starting point for exploring the rest of Santorini.
