Pool Suites In Santorini, Greece, On Sale
Santorini, GREECE: April, 2009One of the leading boutique properties in Santorini, one of the most popular Greek islands, is putting its expansive pool suites on sale – but just for three weeks. From May 1 to 20, guests at Astra Apartments & Suites can luxuriate in a 600-square-foot plunge pool suite – the largest on the island – and get a 25 percent discount if they stay for five nights or longer. The daily rate for a pool suite for two persons is about $845 or 640€, and with the 25 percent discount, the five night’s stay will be $3,168 for two persons – a savings of $1,056. Compared to the pool suites at the island’s other luxury hotels which range from $1,350 to $1,950 per day, Astra’s pool suites are the largest and the least expensive. During this period, general manager George Karayiannis is also offering guests who book the pool suites for five days or more a dinner for two at Astra’s open-air restaurant – a value of $130.
Each of the four luxurious pool suites features spacious terraces with breathtaking views of the volcanic caldera and the turquoise Aegean. Designed in bright Mediterranean colors with striking works by Greek artists, the suites have DVDs, CDs and Wi-Fi. The rate includes a traditional Greek breakfast of yoghurt and fruit, eggs, ham and cheese served on the guest’s private balcony, a bottle of Santorini wine and flowers upon arrival, newspapers, bathrobes, slippers, daily maid service and all taxes. All rates are based on single or double occupancy.
High up on a cliff overlooking the Aegean, offering a bird’s eye view of the 3,600-year-old caldera, Astra provides genuine Greek hospitality in a setting of simple elegance. Wildflower-filled paths and whitewashed staircases lead to the cozy reception area filled with books and artwork. The signature colors of the Cyclades are reflected in the sparkling infinity pool hanging 1000 feet above the turquoise sea and the roomy day beds draped in white linen. Astra’s day spa offers a full range of massages and facials. New last year, Astra’s restaurant serves delicious fresh fish and Santorinian specialties under the stars.
In May, it’s always sunny and the average temperatures hover around 70 degrees Fahrenheit. With the temperate weather and no summer crowds, visitors can relax in luxurious accommodations at a substantial savings.
The peaceful village of Imerovigli sits at the highest point on the rim of the caldera. Quaint white-cube houses are carved into the rocky cliff or line narrow cobblestone streets. The main town of Fira with its restaurants, cafes and clubs is 5 minutes by car or a 15 minute walk and the beaches of Perissa and Perivolas are a 20-minute drive.
