The Meroviglia is a hidden gem of a boutique hotel in Santorini.
Being in Imerovigli means there are very good bars and restaurants within a two minute walk of the hotel. The pool is visible only to those who know, unlike other hotel pools and lounging areas on the Caldera, allowing us to relax in the sun without being overlooked by passing tourists.
The complex is spotlessly clean, with the very comfortable rooms being of good size and finished to a high standard. We were fortunate enough to have a room overlooking the Caldera, waking up to beautiful views of the sea, Fira and the south of the island.
The on site restaurant, which I think was converted from a 200 year old traditional Greek house, keeping many tradional features and adds genuine charm to the complex. It serves very good Italian food all day, with the evening menu offering different options to the lunch time/day menu. The breakfast options are excellent too!
The last word needs to go to the people that create the relaxed and happy atmosphere at The Meroviglia, the excellent staff. They are welcoming, attentive, knowledgeable and friendly, who in our experience, go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and to help with any questions, whether it be places to visit/eat or advice on car hire etc. It is unfair to name names as everyone was fantastic, though a special mention needs to go hotel manager Joanna, who happily went the extra mile to ensure our holiday was a memorable one, so thank you Joanna!
