This is the best hotel room I have ever stayed in. First of all, our hotel guide Vivian was amazing. She organised everything and anything we needed very quickly. In addition we were able to keep the room nice and cool in our cave room with the air conditioning and had plenty of space for everything, form a nice spacious bedroom, to kitchen, living room, bathroom and vanity area. Would definitely recommend for those looking for a quieter luxury place outside of Fira and Oia,

My stay at Kastro Mansion in Pyrgos was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. Our host was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort. They were especially helpful in arranging taxis for us and providing great suggestions for car rentals, making our travel around the island seamless.

Tony, the bellboy, was friendly and attentive, while Irene gave us a wonderful tour of the mansion. Her recommendations for local attractions and dining were spot on and really enhanced our experience on the island.

The mansion itself is beautifully designed, blending traditional architecture with modern comforts. Our room was spacious, immaculate, and offered breathtaking views of the caldera. The location in Pyrgos is ideal, allowing easy access to Oia and other parts of Santorini while providing a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle.

I highly recommend Kastro Mansion to anyone visiting Santorini. It’s the perfect combination of comfort, beauty, and exceptional hospitality. Thank you for an amazing experience!

Stayed 3 nights in the deluxe 2 bedroom suite and felt like we were on top of the world! This piece of paradise has spectacular views and incredible hospitality. It was spacious, extremely quiet, comfortable and clean with great air conditioning. The private hot tub was fantastic! And breakfast at Penelope’s such a special treat.
Vivian took excellent care of us and was very attentive from start to finish for everything we could ask. We experienced the best of Santorini at Kastro Mansion.

I love Kastro Mansion!

I love Kastro Mansion! The service is wonderful and the location is optimal. Its located in the town of Prygos. We stayed here in 2017 and loved our experience. We knew we would love our stay again and we did. The staff was very helpful in providing detailed information about the island and things to do. They were just a text away. The rooms are so clean and comfortable. The view from the rooms is also wonderful. It's for sure our go to place to stay at when we are in Santorini.

Hospitality was great up until the last day. The property offers to set up shuttle services to and from the airport if booked in advance. Arriving to Santorini there was no issue the shuttle was there. Three days before checkout an email was sent to Erini scheduling a pick up. The following day a call was received and the shuttle arrangements were made. Waited for an hour and a half and the shuttle showed up late after trying to contact Erini multiple times not only I but the property luggage attendant she could not be reached. After multiple attempts she answered and pretended I had the wrong number. We arrived at the airport 10 minutes before our flight which was already too late and missed our flight. The driver told me that the shuttle pick up was never arranged. I called Erini right after and she said that was not her problem. Had to pay an extra 700 euros for the four of us to get out of Santorini. There is no receptionist on property so there is really no one to talk to face to face.

Calypso apartment - very charming!

We stayed at the 2 bedroom Calypso apartment. It's a very charming cave house unit located in the old part of Pyrgos. No access by car but they get a donkey to carry your luggage up and down. Parking is possible anywhere in the town for free. It's only a 5 minute walk up the hill. The apartment was very comfortable, wi-fi and AC worked fine. If anything then the kitchenette was very tiny with just 2 electric burners and a mini fridge. The town of Pyrgos is a much needed break from the busier towns of Santorini. Small and peaceful yet worth a visit for its authenticity and a much lesser degree of commercialization.

Spacious and great location

Great accommodation and in an excellent location.
Very comfortable and spacious. The only negative was it advertised a small private balcony, however there was not one.

Excellent location surrounded by blue dome churches amongst the picturesque winding streets of Pyrgos. Roomy villa with excellent amenities and views that’s are breathtaking. We adored this villa and will stay here again.

Amazing place! Highly Recommended

We absolutely loved staying here! Originally, we weren't sure about the location as this is not in Thira or Oia (located in Pyrgos) but it ended up being better as it was less touristy! This hotel as well as Pyrgos itself are a hidden gem on Santorini! The accommodations are amazing - beautiful and clean. We had the Zeus room with the private hot tub and we watched the sunset there, which was much better than doing so in Oia with a ton of tourists trying to take pictures. The hotel also provided a cell phone that allowed us to call the hotel at any time with any questions. The staff were amazing - so helpful and responsive, which is def. a rare find. Rent-a-car/ATVs is literally down the street, which is also convenient. Only key thing is stairs - the place has a ton so just something to note.

Cannot say enough great things about this place! Would absolutely recommend and stay again!

Exceeded my wildest dreams!

Pygros is a lovely quaint village above the harbor. The hotel arranged for our transportation from the harbor. The lovely apartment is located on the cliffs affording an awesome view. It was airy, bright, clean and far exceeded expectations.

Restaurants, lovely churches and shopping are within blocks. Public transportation was also within a few blocks allowing travel all over the island.

I highly recommend the Kastro Mansion.

Beautiful place, helpful hosts!

They upgraded us to the Atlantis room and it was AMAZING! The view of the caldera from the balcony was incredibly breathtaking. There was complimentary wine and water in the room and everything was very clean and comfy. Orestis was so, so friendly and helpful and Anna-Marie was available to arrange transportation from the ferry and to the airport. Just so you know, it is up a fair amount of stairs so if you have mobility issues it may not be the place for you, but if you're able bodied it's worth it!

LOVED IT

This place was perfect! We stayed in the Zeus Suite and everything we needed was there! Private hot tub on the balcony and the kitchen came with essentials (cups, plates, water heater, mini fridge + water, tea packets). It was also near a few restaurants so walking wasn't difficult. Was also able to book taxi to airport transfers through the hotel so that made it even easier on us. My boyfriend and I loved it so much we'll most likely book here again for future trips to Santorini.

Incredible!

My boyfriend and I stayed in the Atlantis Suite during our trip to Santorini in June. We could not have had a better experience. The suite was beautiful and Pyrgos was so charming. This was perfect for our romantic vacation, but the suite could also accommodate a larger family. There were wonderful views of the island, and the private hot tub on the patio was the cherry on top. We particarly enjoyed eating dinner at Rosemary, which had incredible food/sunset views and was just a few steps from our suite. The service we received from Kastro Mansion was top notch. When we accidentally left a valuable item in the safe, the staff was more than happy to mail it to us in the U.S. and stayed in direct communication with us until it arrived. We really can't thank them enough for our wonderful stay in Santorini and their hospitality.

Anna Maria is the best-she arranged everything for us; from the late night taxi transfer and check-in, rental car service, information about the island and all the things you can do, see, were to eat... It has been the best time we hade in Greece ever.

The best place you will ever stay at!

I had the most amazing stay at Kastro Mansion Santorini. Anna Maria was the best host and gave us the most amazing recommendations on where to go and where to eat. The town Pyrgos where the property is located is in a perfect spot. It is away from the tourist area so you'll be able to soak up more local culture and food.

We stayed in the Zeus House, with the spa bath built into the balcony and an astonishing sunset every night. You will not be disappointed. I probably wouldn't recommend you going to the tourist area for the sunset, it's all right in the privacy of your balcony. She also provided a free bottle of local wine which was top quality and delicious!

Thank you so much Anna Maria for the extremely warm hospitality and stay. If we return to Santorini, we will definitely choose to stay here again.

Perfect

No way you will find a better deal on the whole island. The town is perfect, our host was energetic and gave us the best tips for restaurants and activities. They met up with a donkey in the town square and carried our bags up the winding stairs. We spent our first two nights at another hotel on the island that was 3 times the cost but wasn't as good as this place.
