The Location
Nestled right at the heart of the peaceful village of Pyrgos, between two blue domed churches, Valsamo Suites offers the perfect escape from the bustling crowds while being centrally located for easy access to all that Santorini has to offer. Just steps away from the lively central square, guests can easily explore the village’s delightful selection of local craft shops, restaurants, and traditional cafés, all while being right below Pyrgos' most iconic landmark, the historic Kasteli Castle.
Perched on a hilltop beneath the imposing Mt. Profitis Ilias, Pyrgos was once Santorini’s capital and served as a strategic stronghold against pirate invasions. Its iconic “Kasteli” architecture, with tightly clustered houses and maze-like alleys, once formed a protective fortress for its inhabitants. Today, Pyrgos remains one of the island’s most beautifully preserved settlements, offering a peaceful retreat with easy access to Santorini's highlights.
Wander through the village’s narrow cobblestone streets, admire its traditional homes, and take in panoramic views that evoke a timeless charm, transporting visitors to a bygone era. At Valsamo Suites, you’re perfectly positioned to enjoy the serenity of island life while staying connected to its heart.
