Santorini (known locally as Thira) is one of the most picturesque islands in the Mediterranean. The cliffs and islands that rise out of the Med, the famous blue domed church and whitewashed houses, and the stunning sunsets combine to create a sensational panorama.

As one of the most romantic destinations in Europe, it’s not surprising that boutique five-star hotels are Santorini's calling card. Freshly caught seafood can be enjoyed on many restaurant terraces, and lively taverna-lined promenades provide evening entertainment.

Our hotels in Santorini

The luxury hotels in Santorini come with widescreen views of the Aegean Sea: infinity pools make the most of the vistas, but thanks to the smaller number of rooms, they all have an intimate, romantic feel.

Flight Information

Depending on where you fly to, flights to Italy can take between two and four hours.

When to go

The weather across Italy varies dramatically from the north to the south. During the summer months, temperatures can reach 30 degrees, while winter temperatures can drop to around three degrees.

Visa Information

Tipping

When you dine out in Italy, you will generally be charged a coperto (cover charge), which is for the bread, tablecloth, cutlery, etc. Tipping in Italy is not customary, but is always appreciated.
