Fodor's Expert Review Zannos Melathron
Pyrgos, Santorini, 84700, Greece
A delightful walled garden is the setting for this magical hideaway high above the island's medieval capital, where comfortable suites in two Cycladic-style manor houses sport stucco and stone walls, vaulted ceilings, antique furnishings, and flowery terraces that look out across the island to the sea. There's lots of old-world elegance, with low-key and attentive service, and among the many amenities are a welcoming pool, excellent wine cellar and restaurant, and an airy pergola where you can relax in the mansion's vineyard.
