Perivolas Lifestyle Houses isn’t just another Santorini hotel—it’s the original. Long before the island was awash with boutique stays mimicking its whitewashed perfection, the Psychas family quietly transformed a handful of 300-year-old caves and stables into an intimate retreat unlike any other. A place where yachts drift lazily across the caldera, where the blue of the infinity pool melts seamlessly into the Aegean, and where the architecture whispers of a deep, abiding respect for the land. While others have expanded and multiplied, Perivolas remains a family affair—20 impeccably sculpted rooms, each carved with care from the volcanic rock. A winding path of volcanic stone, fringed with bursts of bougainvillea, leads you through a discreet wooden gate and into a world of pure tranquility.

Beyond the infinity pool, the sea stretches endlessly, a perfect blue interrupted only by the slow drift of a sailing boat. While other hoteliers have expanded and multiplied, the Psychas family has remained true to their original vision: an intimate, understated sanctuary that feels more like a private home than a resort. What began as a collection of humble cave dwellings carved into the cliffs has been meticulously restored into 20 suites, each hewn from the rock with the kind of care only a family deeply devoted to a place can achieve. There are no televisions here, no distractions—just sun-bleached terraces, vaulted ceilings, and the most spectacular views in the Cyclades.
