White Pearl Cavalieri

Loved absolutely everything. The breakfast was exceptional, Location as well, but the view was much much better than in the photos.

Wow! Where do I start?! What an exceptional experience my new husband & I enjoyed at White Pearl. The setting is exquisite & oh so beautiful and quiet. I feel so blessed that we found this beautiful hotel & that we were able to get the dates there that we wanted. As soon as our booking was completed, we were contacted by Rafaela. From that moment on any questions or requests we had were answered quickly and thoughtfully by Rafaela. To the extent that I felt we knew her before we even met! On arrival Rafaela was there to greet us, she made us feel so welcome & so at home. I really wasn't expecting be greeted like that, it was so lovely. This kind of personal touch exceeded anything we have experienced before,( something that a lot of other places really don't get right.) We booked for 7 nights in the Nykteri Suite..... & Wow! ( The photos just don't do it justice!) I had paid for a special romantic treat on arrival in the room, which my husband loved. It was magical. The Nykteri suite is an extremely well designed cave room, large in size, comfortable & very romantic. Loved it! And the indoor pool, well.... it was just epic!! We had a delicious 2 course breakfast every morning looking over the stunning Caldera. We were served by the wonderful Jason every morning, who was so very friendly. The White Pearl is situated in a quiet area called Imervigli. There are some stunning restaurants in walking distance which we loved. We also had Rafaela suggest & book for us some great restaurants which were a short cab ride away. I could actually go on for ages about our stay!! All in all though, I can't recommend this hotel highly enough! There is nothing I would change! We loved our stay & would love to come back to Santorini & to the White Pearl again soon. We would like to send our thanks to all the staff there for making us both feel so special. If you are reading this and wondering if you should book........

Our stay was perfect! There was nothing to dislike.

Our room was fantastic and the service impeccable!

Everything was perfect

The White Pearl Cavalieri is a smaller, boutique-sized and intimate resort (6 total rooms) that is fairly typical on the island of Santorini, whether staying in Fira, Oia, or in Imerovigli, where the resort is located. We can only speak for the service and attentiveness that we received and observed while staying there, but Rafaela, who will be your main contact and concierge, was exceptional in every way, friendly, available/accessible, and had a wonderful personality. Cristos (maybe Christos?) was the main server for your included gourmet breakfasts (and I assume dinner as well), which you will eat while enjoying the amazing views of Oia from the top of the caldera. Our room was spacious, sensual, and unique, as I assume the other 5 rooms are, and included an indoor swimming pool. The location in Imerovigli is perfectly situated between Oia and Fira. The village of Imerovigli, within a 5 minute walk, has lots of shops and restaurants with amazing views as well, and offers easy access to the hiking path to Oia (or Fira), which is a must do.

It is not so much a "didn't like" and certainly not anything against White Pearl but more of a "just so you know" kind of thing, but as much as we like to have our intimate time we also like to socialize a bit with other couples and people while vacationing or even at the resort we are staying at. Because of White Pearl's size, the purpose of the resort (for honeymooners, couples celebrating their anniversaries, like we were for our 25th, or those just wanting privacy/intimacy solely), the design/size of the resort (6 rooms) and the sensuality of the rooms and atmosphere does not really lend itself to other/many couples wanting to come out of their rooms and socialize. It may also be that, like us, couples were out and about for much of the day exploring the island. Again, just something couples should be aware of and this seems to be pretty typical of the island's smaller sized resorts.
