Perched on the highest point of Pyrgros, one of the most picturesque villages on the island of Santorini, Zannos Melathron is a haven of peace allowing guests to unwind and recharge in elegant accommodation.

Compromising a sophisticated 19th century mansion built by Michael Zannos, a master of the time and adjoining renaissance architecture villa, the hotel is a maze of vaulted rooms and romantic alcoves, with high ceilings and mellow lighting. Every room is lavishly furnished with antiques and original art work.

Relax by the pool, order a cocktail on the veranda and then soak up the sun and stunning views of the shimmering blue sea. Take a walk around the wine chambers and enjoy ceremonial wine tasting sessions, dine on fresh Mediterranean cuisine at the excellent resident only restaurant or visit the spa where all treatments use grape and wine products.

Later on leave this sanctuary and ride the resident donkey down to the village or visit the Venetian castle of ‘Kastelli’ and the volcano and hot springs.
