Description
About the Mansion and its History.
The Markezinis Santorini Suites, is a Boutique Mansion comprising five luxury suites, among the finest in Santorini. It is situated in the traditional village of Messaria, the hub of the entire island, with easy access to the beaches, the caldera, the archaeological sites and all other places of interest.
After extensive renovations, this building of high historical significance is now ready to offer a lavish accommodation to affordable prices, to guests looking for a private, romantic getaway. This traditional Santorini hotel’s nostalgic neoclassical style and elegant, classy atmosphere revoke its former splendor of the 19th century and the fine aesthetic, matched with an impeccable, personal- touch service, mark the sophisticated hospitality we can offer.
The Markezinis Santorini Suites used to belong to an aristocratic Santorinian family, whose pedigree dated back to the Venetian rule (in fact, the name ‘marchesini’ means ‘little Marquesses’ in Italian). The most famous descendant, Spyros Markezinis, to whom the residence finally passed, was an eminent Greek politician, law and historical scholar. He became Prime Minister of the country in the 70’s, while his brilliant economic reforms as Secretary of Finance in the 50’s not only saved the country from bankruptcy, but also managed to lead it to financial development.
It was in this mansion, today Markezinis Suites, where he grew up as a child, the son of another prominent politician. And later on, even as Prime Minister, he used to fly here by helicopter to spend holidays, or retire from his many duties in the capital.
There is also a lounge area, a library and a free parking space for hotel guests.
All suites are complemented with V.I.P. bath amenities, fluffy bathrobes, slippers, feather pillows and duvets. Other suite amenities include air-conditioning, satellite flat-screen TV, DVD player, direct dial phone, Wi-Fi access to the internet, safe box, mini-bar and hairdryer.
Guest services include, aside the personal attendance and welcoming by the hotel manager, a basket of fruit and wine or other welcome surprise upon arrival, bell-boy service, Wi-Fi internet access in all areas of the Mansion, 24h reception, 24h room-service, laundry services, turn-down services, as well as travel, excursion and concierge arrangements and arrangements for transport from and to the port or airport. Massage and SPA treatments are provided upon request by outsourced partners.
The a la carte breakfast, home made with traditional fresh produce, is served either in-suite, in the multiplex area or the pool deck. Also served in-suite: a variety of cold dishes and light meals.
