Oia
On the northern part of Oia's cosmopolitan town Santorini keeps a very well hidden secret. EPITOME is located right out of the main town, above the picturesque fishing town of Ammoudi. A serene location awaits those who are ready to experience Santorini from another perspective.

Epitome Experience
Canaves Epitome is aptly named. From the absolutely stunning views (sunset every night) to the spacious, luxurious rooms, Canaves Epitome delivers on its luxury designation. Truly was such a treat and we would eagerly return to Canaves Epitome again in the future (and probably for longer). The property is a gorgeous, lush oasis, and the way the resort is setup there is tons of privacy built in.
The breakfast each morning is a fabulous way to start the day, and includes an expansive menu. The secluded location could be considered a negative if it weren't for the complimentary shuttles that run up to the pedestrian path and down to Ammoudi Bay. We were there during late Sept / early Oct, and the resort did not appear to be full. On our second to last day, we finally had neighbors and we could hear everything (they were loud, playing a speaker). We didn't say anything because it was only one afternoon, but neighborly noise could be an issue. Recognize that you are sacrificing the quintessential caldera view / experience (but you could stay at one of their sister properties that looked quality, too). But we thought that we appreciated the privacy vs. having tourists staring at you in your caldera room all day / night.
We stayed in the Hideaway Suite and it was perfect. Housekeeping comes twice / day to make the bed and do turn-down service; they also come once / day to dust off and sweep outside (patio, seating area, loungers).
Every staff member could not have been more helpful, friendly, and easy to work with. They took care of everything and anything you could possibly need, were easy to get a hold of and communicate with, and solved any and all requests - reservations, advice, etc.

BEST RESORT EVER
Canaves Epitome was the highlight of our Europe trip! The resort as well as the facilities and the staff made us not want to leave Santorini!! We only stayed for 2 nights but we have already booked our next stay for 2027! Thank you to everyone at the front desk team and restaurants for taking such good care of us.

What a memorable stay
Even if it was a last minute trip, we will never regret for our decision visiting Santorini and especially Canaves Epitome. We had a delightful time with my friends, thanks to the exceptional service and the staff that went above and beyond, in order to point out every detail of our stay. The view was totally breathtaking and we were glad by enjoying it during the breakfast (it was so nice) and definitely from our Suite. Thank you all Canaves Epitome we cannot wait to come back!!!
