The Vasilicos

This suite (23sq m) is named after a majestic moggy that used to roam the grounds. King Cat’s two main lures are its raised bed and the sculpted bath tub – expect dazzling caldera views. Another highlight is the elevated private terrace, which has easy access to the hotel’s heated outdoor swimming pool. King Cat has a king-size bed and and a pretty special bathroom: moulded into the rock, with a hammam-style bath tub and custom-made iron fixtures. There’s also a smart TV, on-loan tablet, stash of vintage books, upcycled furniture, minibar and olive oil-based bath products.

The 42sq m Daphne suite has a private terrace and privileged access to the hotel's heated swimming pool, with views of the Caldera, volcano and surrounding islands. Inside, it’s built around a traditional Santorini layout, with the bedroom (with a king-size bed) at the rear, and a large sitting area at the front with two day-beds and plenty of room to relax. The sitting room also has a long, built in sofa which can sleep two more adults, at an extra cost (call the Smith24 Team for more details). All suites also have WiFi, a TV with DVD player, a tablet, air-conditioning, tea- and Illy coffee-making kit and Apivita bath products. If you get peckish, raid the minibar or order room service.

Water babies will love this suite, which has a private terrace and easy access to the hotel’s heated outdoor pool.

Each suite has an elegant living room and stylish bathroom, decorated with custom-made iron fittings and a rain-head shower. Possible distractions include vintage books, upcycled furniture, a smart TV, on-loan tablet, minibar and olive oil-based bath products.

Of the three honeymoon suites to choose from, Efta (23sq m) is the most private and romantic. On the large, secluded terrace, there's a padded day bed, sunloungers and a Jacuzzi.

The 37sq m Pergola suite is situated on the top level of the hotel. Its main draw is the spacious terrace, which has a Jacuzzi and and spectacular Caldera views; it's shaded by – you guessed it – a pergola. This light, airy room has a king-size bed and a separate dressing room. The bathroom is moulded into the rock and has a hammam-style bath tub, custom-made iron fixtures and a walk-in shower. This suite can also accommodate a baby cot or an extra bed (for an extra charge).

This suite was once used by Daphne’s family as a sprawling living room; these days, it’s the hotel’s largest suite at 45sq m. Its chief charm: a rambling terrace with a lofty al fresco lounge area, designed to maximise Santorini’s famous sunsets. Belvedere also has a private jacuzzi, set in what were once flowerbeds, with beautiful green tiling. Inside, highlights include the king-size bed, wood-clad ceiling, rain-head shower and sculpted bath tub, vintage books, upcycled furniture and wine-crammed minibar. If you befriend the locals, there’s space on that terrace for them to join you. All suites also have WiFi, a TV with DVD player, a tablet, air-conditioning, tea- and Illy coffee-making kit and Apivita bath products.
