On The Rocks, an SLH Hotel in 847 00, open JuneSeptember.

On The Rocks cuts through the logistics challenge most couples face: finding a cliffside venue where guests can actually stay steps from the ceremony.

Perched on Imerovigli's volcanic edge, this 47-room hotel offers ceremony spaces with unobstructed Caldera views, on-site accommodation for 80+ guests, and a kitchen equipped to handle multi-day celebrations without vendor coordination headaches.

This was potentially the best hotel I have ever stayed at. The workers were so friendly and accommodating to any need we had. Whenever we had any questions about that we should do they were quick to give solutions and every suggestion was perfect for what we needed. The location was amazing. It was outside of the craziness of Oia but just a quick drive. The hotel would arrange a private transport for us to anywhere we needed to go. The breakfast was amazing and I’m still thinking about it weeks later. The staff brings the breakfast right to your room and you can enjoy the breakfast on the balcony/patio for your room. I am obsessed with this hotel and hope I can come back!

Venue rental typically includes ceremony space and basic tables/chairs. Catering, bar service, room blocks, and special setup requests are charged separately. Contact the venue directly for itemized packages.
