In Santorini, watching the sea and sunsets is our top priority every day. Summers in Santorini are bustling, so having a quiet terrace to enjoy the sunset and the option to retreat to an air-conditioned room is very important to me. We stayed at three hotels in Santorini, and Charisma Suites was our favorite. The room's terrace offers stunning views of the Aegean Sea and windmills, making it a perfect spot to watch the sunset. The room design is very stylish, and the staff is very friendly. Looking forward to visiting this place again on our next trip to Santorini.

Santorini is about an hour's flight from Athens, Greece 🏝️ Did you know that there is a hotel where you can stay at a windmill in this place, which is also known as a resort destination? Charisma Suites has only one windmill room, and this time we stayed there ✨ The windmill room also has a jacuzzi and is very comfortable 🩷 The hotel's shared pool overlooks the Aegean Sea and has a spectacular view! And the biggest attraction of this hotel is the sunset 🌇 You can see the best sunset with only the sea and the sun in front of you 🫶 It's a spectacular view that you should see at least once in your life ✨ #Hotel with pool #Greece tourism

#EuropeanTravel Awesome structure. The best staff and hospitality await you when you visit. From the refreshing drinks at the reception upon check-in to the wonderful breakfast delivered to the patio, the welcome wine and fruit... everything was impeccable. The building is located along the cliffs of the caldera and the views are breathtaking! You can't lose it because there is a windmill on the property. I had an accident decorating my passport and the guys helped me at 2am. They also contacted me at my next hotel when I left my personal items in my room after check-out to make sure they were returned. I really appreciate the honesty and 5 star service I received during my 2 nights. Don't hesitate to book this property. Special thanks to Fotini for taking care of us. You are the best! You made our trip very memorable because of your warmth and kindness. I highly recommend this place. My wife and I stayed here on our honeymoon and had a wonderful experience. The breakfast was great. The room had one of the best bathroom configurations I have ever seen in any of the many beautiful places I have been to in Greece and Italy. The service at all levels is really, really warm and friendly, which is what almost everyone wants.

Stayed at Charisma Suites the past two nights. Tonight staying at Kapari Natural Resort, room comes with private pool. Both hotels are super great, the service and scenery are both very, very good. It's really comfortable. Went to Sunset Ammoudi Bay for a meal, the scenery was beautiful, the sea water was clear and you could see many sea urchins on the seabed. The taste was also good.
