Our story

About us

Frescoes Luxury Suites draws on Santorini's rich history and living culture. Our name pays homage to the breathtaking ancient frescoes that grace the walls of the island's archaeological sites.

Each suite is designed as a haven of calm, with a private hot tub where you can unwind and take in the island around you.

From the centre of Mesaria the whole island is close: the black sand of Kamari and Perissa, the archaeological site of Akrotiri, and the lanes of Fira, all a short drive away.

After a day of exploring, come back to our courtyard for a glass of local wine. Our team is here to make every stay personal, with the warmth of a Greek welcome.

About Mesaria

Mesaria is a village in the centre of Santorini, between Fira and Kamari and about 3 km from the airport (JTR). It offers a glimpse of traditional island life, with wine tasting and the island's unique landscape all around.

The village is known for its traditional architecture, narrow streets and beautiful churches, such as Agios Nikolaos Marmaritis, dating back to the 11th century. Tavernas, restaurants and shops selling local products are a short walk away.

Nearby, the Koutsoyannopoulos Wine Museum, housed in an old winery, tells the story of winemaking on the island. Buses and taxis connect Mesaria with the rest of Santorini, and car or scooter hire is easy to arrange.

Heritage

The frescoes of Santorini

Santorini's tradition of fresco painting reaches back to the Bronze Age. The frescoes discovered in the prehistoric town of Akrotiri depict daily life and religious rituals, and are admired for their vivid colours and fine detail.

Among the most famous are the Spring Fresco with its swallows and lilies, the Boxing Boys, the Blue Monkeys, the Fisherman and the Saffron Gatherers. Many can still be seen at the Museum of Prehistoric Thera in Fira.

Frescoes honours this legacy, a thread that connects today's guests with the island's oldest artists.
