Kivotos Santorini - Preferred Hotels & Resorts, Imerovigli

Kivotos Santorini - Preferred Hotels & Resorts is a 5-star stay in Imerovigli, Greece, positioned at Malteza Square, where the village’s caldera edge lifestyle sets the tone for your days. With a guest rating of 9.7/10 from 109 reviews, the strongest themes are consistent service and the sense that the property understands what travelers want on Santorini: privacy, comfort, and time to linger. The hotel’s outdoor pool and terrace spaces are built for slow mornings and sunset pauses, while air conditioning keeps rooms comfortable when the island heat rises. Room service and express check-in/check-out help reduce friction if you’re moving between viewpoints, boat schedules, or dinner reservations.

This is best for couples who want romance without giving up practical ease, and it also works for families who appreciate non-smoking rooms and the option of family rooms. The surrounding area is naturally scenic, with Skaros Rock about 2 km away and Fira town roughly 4 km from the hotel, making it realistic to plan a mix of short sightseeing drives and longer caldera walks. Guests frequently mention that the location supports easy access to major landmarks, including the Imerovigli-to-Fira walking route and the sunset viewpoints that define the area.

If you’re road-trip friendly, you’ll likely appreciate the island rhythm around Imerovigli, but note that parking is not available at the property. Overall, Kivotos Santorini is a polished base for travelers who value calm, well-run hospitality, and immediate access to the island’s most photogenic landscapes.
