CASASUNSHA is a new-format boutique hotel located on the caldera slope in the central part of Fira. The property combines a private retreat of 12 cave suites with SUNSHA, an open-space restaurant designed as both the architectural and social hub of the hotel.
The concept is built around the balance of privacy and openness. The suites are designed in a minimal Aegean style with a focus on natural textures and panoramic views, while the restaurant and terrace serve as a lively venue for social interaction, musical events, and evening dinners. This “hybrid” structure positions the property between traditional luxury lodging and contemporary, interactive hospitality.
Each suite is carved directly into the volcanic cliff, with interiors in calming, reflective whites and understated, natural decor. Most suites offer private terraces with jacuzzis and panoramic sea views. Guests should note that the property includes numerous steps due to the terrain, which may not be suitable for those with mobility concerns.
One of the hotel’s strongest advantages is its location. CASASUNSHA is within walking distance of the main attractions of Fira — including the cable car, caldera walks, and town center — yet remains secluded enough to ensure quiet and privacy.
SUNSHA, the on-site restaurant, operates as a full-service venue with curated menus, cocktail offerings, and regular live music evenings. Breakfast is served either in-room or on the terrace, following a continental model with personalized additions. Guest reviews consistently highlight the quality of the food, flexibility, and overall dining experience.
Service is another key strength of the property. The staff provides extended support services including private transfers, luggage handling, concierge assistance, and excursion bookings. Guest feedback frequently mentions attentive and discreet service from a professional and welcoming team.
