Vora

Hi fellow Traveller – listen to me carefully. If you’re considering booking this hotel, you must be ready for what awaits you here. Let’s start with the downsides: – My stomach was too small to hold all the delicious breakfasts, snacks, and dinners, to drink the amazing juices and aromatic coffees. – My soul was too insensitive to fully absorb the atmosphere and warmth of the staff. – My awareness too limited to truly grasp the beauty of these views – and take in every detail of that panorama. – And my vocabulary – too poor to describe the quality, lightness, professionalism, and warmth radiating from this place. That’s it for the downsides. Now, the upsides… This is a place where you’ll find everything a traveller seeks when longing for more than just accommodation. Looking for a “high-end” spot? This isn’t just „high-end.” This is the heart of Santorini. Our adventure started off roughly – we had just left a previous hotel that turned out to be completely different from what the pictures had promised. We spent six long hours walking around Imerovigli, checking out every available room. There were plenty, but none offered what we were truly looking for. We wanted something unique. Something that would let us immerse ourselves in the essence of Santorini. When we finally stood at the gates of Vora, we were exhausted. We were ready to settle for one of the mediocre hotels we had seen before – tired and resigned. But something pushed us to go just a bit further. The moment the doors opened, we saw well-kept plants and meticulously maintained steps leading downward. You know the feeling – you look at something and just sense: something good is about to happen. At the reception, we were greeted by Eva – incredibly polite, professional, and attentive. She led us to Villa Ro and introduced the hotel with such passion that we immediately felt taken care of. As soon as we stepped inside the villa, we were struck by the scent of freshness – stone, wood, soft perfumes. Every meter of space is designed with soul and intention. Even standing in the kitchen and looking through the arched doorway to the living room and beyond – everything forms a picture you want to remember. The kitchen – perfectly equipped, just like at home. The living room – upstairs, cool and peaceful, ideal for a midday rest. Downstairs – a bathroom like a work of art: fragrant, sparkling, with a large mirror, beautiful lighting, and aromatic lotions. Next door – the bedroom, with the most comfortable bed we’ve ever slept on. And across – a terrace with lush greenery and a huge cushion, perfect for morning meditation or a lazy evening. But the most important part — and to me, the very core of our stay – was the upper terrace. A completely private terrace, with no paths, no passageways to other hotels nearby or even within sight – it felt truly intimate. This terrace is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. With a view of the caldera, the volcano, and the endless sea. With

Vora is a dream come true. It is the PERFECT vacation. The Villas are beautiful, luxurious, spacious, and comfortable. No details left behind. The views are breathtaking and the location is second to none. Vora's three Villas have the perfect balance between a five star hotel and an exclusive private Villa. The food and bar offerings are top and the service is impeccable. It is like having your own private concierge 24/7 for your entire stay. Sophia made our stay extra special. She was always at our service and was insightful, kind, smart and super efficient. Rizaldi was super friendly, respectful, and hard working. Trust me, no words could describe the experience at VORA. Just GO! I certainly hope to go back. Thank you VORA, for the vacation of a lifetime!

Fantastic property with amazing views. And very private. (Many Santorini properties are in full view of the general public, even though they boast private patios or pools. In contrast, Vora is mostly hidden from view as it is located away from the main trails.) It is very well maintained and feels new and very clean. We stayed at Alpha and Omikron. Alpha was more hidden (private), and has a lower balcony that is completely private. Some may find the duplex design a bit troublesome as you keep having to climb up and down. Omikron has a wider frontage and better view of Fira from its large balcony. But it feels more cramped inside compared to Alpha (but to be fair, it is still fairly large for two persons). Food was very good. Breakfast choice was wide and excellent. Dinner quality was good and comparable to a proper restaurant.
