What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
High-arching whitewashed passageways open onto a charming central courtyard — home to the hotel’s stylish restaurant and wine bar — with palm trees, colorful bougainvillea, and an antique tiled fountain.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in Fira's quiet Venetian quarter, the grounds sit just steps from cliffside caldera paths and lively town squares.
The rooms
Dark wood floors contrast with emerald accents and private patios, while select suites add open-air jetted tubs or secluded plunge pools.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The rooftop infinity pool looks out over the caldera, lined with slatted wooden daybeds and stone walls.
The spa
Body scrubs and hot stone therapies use elixirs developed with Caribbean skincare line Ligne St. Barth.
Selene Restaurant
Michelin-starred chef Ettore Botrini oversees the menu, served around an antique fountain in the monastery courtyard.
At the table
Sommeliers host tastings inside the vaulted underground wine caves, and morning spreads are set out in the dining room.
