The facilities at Chelidonia Luxury Suites are top-notch. The indoor/ or outdoor plunge whirlpool in each suite is perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring Santorini. We also appreciated the priority for early check-in and late check-out, subject to availability, in addition to the welcome drink and wine with seasonal fruits upon arrival.

The staff at Chelidonia Luxury Suites were friendly and accommodating, making our stay even more enjoyable. We were impressed with the 24-hour front desk service and the gift voucher for their store.

Location and Surroundings

Chelidonia Luxury Suites, located in a prime location in the heart of Oia, is one of the most picturesque and sought-after destinations in Santorini. It is just a few steps away from the town’s central square, where you can find a variety of boutique shops, restaurants, cafes, and the famous Oia Castle.

On the way to your suite, you will turn off the main path by The Church of Stavros and wander past the entrance to the path that overlooks the Churches of Agios Spiridonas (Saint Spyridon) and Anasteseos (the Church of the Resurrection, which make up the iconic three blue domes of Santorini.

Even though the town of Oia can be extremely crowded, the suites are located along a gated, private walkway. The only little traffic you will have in front of your room will be that from other guests.

Staying at Chelidonia gives you everything you need right at your fingertips. Whether you’re looking to explore the town’s charming streets or take in the stunning views of the Aegean Sea, you’ll find it all just a short walk away.

The convenience of stepping out of your suite, taking a little journey up the path to the main thoroughfare, and being in the heart of the action is priceless!

One of the highlights of staying at Chelidonia Luxury Suites is the breathtaking views of the Santorini Caldera.

All of the suites boast unobstructed views of the Aegean Sea and the caldera. The Santorini caldera is considered one of the most beautiful natural wonders in the world.

Whether relaxing in your private plunge pool or enjoying a meal on your terrace, you’ll be able to take in the stunning views and feel completely immersed in the beauty of Santorini.

Accommodation Details

During our trip, we stayed in Chelidonia’s Elegant Suite. It is a traditional-style cave house with a minimalistic design. The crisp white interior was decorated with charming antiques from fellow Aegean islands and rustic aesthetic wood furniture.

The suite is extremely spacious. It is 45 square meters or roughly 484 square feet, with plenty of room to stretch out.

There is a living area with an inviting white ‘couch’ about the size of a twin bed, a rustic coffee table, a quaint reading desk, and a cute small table along the wall. A grand whitewashed floor mirror graces the side wall.

The bathroom was also spacious. It contains a walk-in shower with a delightful rain showerhead and a handheld body sprayer. You can open two windows in the shower to the outside to allow airflow.

Of course, these windows are conspicuously placed so that nobody other than the suite’s inhabitants can see in. 

The Elegant Suite’s terrace contained a cozy table for two that overlooked the azure Aegean Sea and Oia’s crisp white architectural façade.

There is also an outdoor plunge whirlpool partially covered by the white cave-style architecture, shielding you from the intense Santorini sun if you desire.

Small, steep steps along the side of the plunge whirlpool lead you to a plush, relaxing sitting area on the rooftop. The roughly queen-sized, plush lounger on the roof was the perfect spot for a bird’s eye view.

Our suite was impeccably clean. The Chelidonia staff come twice daily to clean the room and refresh the towels. They usually arrive around 10 am and then again around 7 pm. It was nice to have fluffy, fresh towels twice a day!

Chelidonia’s breakfast menu is impressive. Our favorites were the freshly squeezed orange juice served with pancakes topped with creamy hazelnut praline, juicy berries marmalade, and sweet, crunchy homemade granola.

When in the mood for savory, the “Strapatsada” contains velvety scrambled eggs with creamy tomato, topped with salty feta cheese, fresh oregano, and crispy bread.

The breakfast was so extensive and filling that it kept us fueled straight through lunch. We looked forward to it each morning!

Savoring the delicious breakfast while comfortably seated on your private patio, enjoying the exquisite panoramic views of the azure Aegean Sea and the white façade of Oia on the Santorini caldera is a treasure in and of itself.
