I recently stayed at the katrina’s castle hotel in Santorini and couldn't be happier with my experience. The location is unbeatable, offering stunning views and easy access to all the key attractions. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, going out of their way to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Santorini!
Incredible stay at Katerina’s castle, staff were amazing and the views incredible, would recommend everyone to stay here, great connections to Oia and Fira. Also the catamaran excursion organised through the hotel was amazing the sunset was beautiful.
If you come to Santorini you have to stay here!!
Thomas the best!
Property shot downs after sunset while every other place was open and lit up. Not amenities at all. If something happens nobody was there to help you. The only good thing was the sunset view. The town was safe but not the hotel. Poor management. We were the only guest over there. Scary experience.

Cave rooms with nice terrace and caldera view
The owner Thomas welcomed us very openly and friendly, really eager to have us as guests and curious about who we were and what we wanted to do in Santorini.
He gave us many tips that were good to have. Since we had our own car and had been on another Greek island we decided not to book a catamaran cruise that he recommended. Otherwise, it is a good option to take his recommendations.
The room was tiny and cozy! Very high roof so it felt spacious. We booked the 12 sqm room so we knew it was small. So when you book it, know what you book and what you pay for!
The only negative part, which I forgot to say personally, is that you hear other guests really well through the door and ventilation.
Otherwise, we had a nice stay at a nice hotel in Imerovigli.

Esqueça o conforto e fique com a vista.
Hotel localizado com uma vista incrível, mas o fato de ser "Cave" deixa um pouco a desejar em questões de conforto. O quarto mal abriga duas pessoas.
Myself and my partner loved staying at Katerinas Castle. The views were absolutely incredible and the hotel owner Thomas and his family treated us like we were family and went out of their way for us on a daily basis. I will definitely be staying here again on my next visit to Santorini and recommend it for anyone else looking to stay in Imerovigli!
The view is one of the best on the island but that is about the only positive aspect. We had a tiny room in which you could hardly move, even smaller bathroom which got soaked everytime you have a shower. 2 single beds pushed together instead of a double. A window in the top of the room which opened into a passage which was noisy. No breakfast included. Not even a welcome drink. The owner only spoke to us when trying to sell tours (which we found much cheaper elsewhere).
The hotel is situated in one of the most beautiful parts of Santorini with amazing views of the Caldera and the ocean. The hotel is nice and well run. The owner Thomas and his Father are always there to make sure they can provide anything you might need. They are really friendly and really made us feel like we were visiting family or old friends.
The rooms are a bit small due to the nature of these non-standard buildings but it totally did not bother us as we spend most of the time wandering around the island, however the excellent service we received and even the help from the owners doing reservations for tours, transportation and transfers totally make up for that. We overall loved our stay and would definitely be back.
This is a small hotel runs by a family. We stayed here for 5 days and very much enjoyed it. The hotel has caldera view and you can see the volcanoe, far away town of Oia and the Skaros Rock. You can also see Thirasia island as well.The trail to Fira and Skaros rock is within few steps from the hotel. The convenience store is just 5 mins walk uphill. You can get beers, wines, bottle of water and snacks at very reasonable price there. The bus stop to Oia and Fira is in the same area as well. You can also enjoy sunset from the hotel. And the older gentleman who works at the hotel was very friendly and helpful. He gave us general information about santorini and where to visit. Every morning he served us very good coffee and tasty small bites for free. At one time, he even gave us a big bottle of water for free. I highly recommend this place.
Vi lå på traditional cave. Rommet har ingen vindu, så man føler seg litt innestengt om man tilbringer for mye tid der. Det var uansett særdeles flott, høyt under taket og et fantastisk bad! Wifi og dekning var det ikke, da rommet ligger inni fjellet.
Utsikten fra hotellets veranda var magisk, vi hadde den beste utsikten, og solnedgangen kunne nytes i panoramautsikt. Turister fra hele byen strømmet til området rundt akkurat vårt hotell, mens vi kunne nyte utsikten fra hver vår solstol.
Hotellet drives av en svært hyggelig eldre herremann, med hjelp fra sin sønn og en yngere gutt. Svært hyggelige, og vi fikk servert morgenkaffe gratis hver morgen.
Hotellet ligger i fin gangavstand til Fira, hovedsentrum i Santorini. Svært fin gangsti med flott utsikt. Anbefales på det sterkeste.

Great place to stay if Jimmy is working.
Jimmy really understands how to take care of his guests. Thomas not as much. The hotel is charming but doesn't have the amenities of other establishments. On the other hand it is clean, well taken care of and is a great value for cost.
Unsere Aufenthalt war super. Das Personal war sehr höfflich und hilfsbereit. Der Ausblick aufs Meer und auf den Sonnenuntergang war fantastisch! Hotel 100% empfehlenswert.
Déjà en arrivant la vu te coupe le souffle, ils ont une superbe terrasse où tu peux prendre le petit déjeuner tranquillement et aussi contempler le coucher du soleil, On a été bien accueilli par le sympa Dimitris, les chambres sont des anciennes caves, assez frais dans la chambre, on a pas utilisé la climatisation même avec les 40 dégrées de hors, on avait 2 lits simple, mais vu la taille de la chambre, serait beaucoup mieux d'avoir des lits superposés, on n'a pas de place du tout pour ranger les affaires, on a du laissé quasiment tout dans les valises et les mettre dans le toilette, la douche n'a pas de cabine du coup l'eau gicle par tout et l'espace est très serré, mon collègue avait les pieds en dehors du lit car un des lits est plus petit que l'autre, il n'y a pas de restaurant c'est juste un bar et les boissons sont assez chères comparés à d'autres endroits, par contre le petit déjeuner est inclus et on a été vraiment bien servi, toujours bien accueilli par Dimitris et le staff, en résumé on voulait un endroit pour se reposer avec une belle vue et un emplacement stratégique sur l'île, je le conseil à ce que comme nous veulent passer ces journées en dehors de l'hôtel, visiter les petites villes, s'aventurer par l'île et avoir un coin pour récupérer l'énergie avant la prochaine sorti.
We had two rooms for 4 nights. The beds are cheap and hard so we put the blanket under us for padding. Only one room had a fridge, the twin bed room wouldn't fit one. Rooms are small, but have the traditional cave character. It can be a bit noisy at times in the corridors and you can hear people walking on the path above.
There is a private terrace with a great view of the caldera. Thomas and his father, Dimitri are lovely hosts and their staff are friendly, too.
Overall, good value for the position.
La stanza matrimoniale piccolissima senza nemmeno un armadio, con zanzare, bagno minuscolo, senza piscina,
unico dato positivo la posizione con vista sulla caldera. Struttura non consigliata.
shower was a little wonky. Would have liked a hotel with options of balconies. Otherwise was great.

Okay hotel with an excellent view!
The hotel is well located and has an amazing view! The room itself was quite small, cramped and without windows, unless you count the unusual chimney window where some natural light (and sounds from the cafe area) come in. Thomas and his father was very friendly and helpful with information about the island and suggestions for transport. The hiking route to Skaros starts just a few hundred meters down the slope and there is a bus stop (most cost effective way to get around) a short walk from the hotel. This is a good hotel choice if you just want a place to sleep and shower and spend the rest of your time exploring the island.
it has to be admitted that the sea view of the shared balcony is extraordinary and fantastic but, what a pity, there is no private balcony as described.
+ beautiful view
+ good cleanliness
+ friendly
+ I get the best room with windows which have good ventilation.
- rooms are small and other rooms without windows. Very damp which full of smell and without ventilation.
- poor wifi which cant connect all the time. Only at certain common areas.
- no swimming pool.
- very simple continental breakfast. Should provide at least scramble eggs or omelette.
Overall too expensive just for a beautiful view which can get the same price and same view from Oia or fira with pool and workable wifi.
