My husband and I splurged on a Santorini hotel for our honeymoon that costs over $400 per night and is built into a cave. Here's why it was totally worth it

I don't eat breakfast. I never have. That changed once I stayed at Pezoules. Each morning upon waking, we would simply call the concierge, and a homemade Greek breakfast would be on our porch within 20 minutes. We were treated to fresh Greek yogurt, eggs, coffee, fruit, pastries — the list goes on. I have celiac disease, and they even made fresh gluten free croissants for me every morning.

Some of my best memories from our honeymoon are rolling out of bed with my husband and reminiscing about our wedding as we ate breakfast in the slightly chilly Mediterranean air.

Shortly after we checked in, we learned that there was a bar on-site. We ordered a few drinks, and they said they'd bring them up to our porch soon. After 20 or so minutes, the drinks hadn't arrived, so we popped in to see what was happening, only to find the bartender hand-chipping ice from a large block. He told us he had just picked a fresh cucumber from the garden (I'm not making this up) for my husband's drink.

Needless to say, these cocktails were pricey — about $18 a pop — but they were some of the best I've ever had.

Although it was a bit too chilly to get much swimming in during our visit, one of the biggest draws of Pezoules is its Instagram-worthy infinity pool. Located right at the edge of the property, the pool appears to flow directly into the Mediterranean, despite being hundreds of yards up in the air.

Had we gone during a warmer month (we visited in May), we could've spent ample time sipping homemade cocktails from the bar while relaxing in the pool.

Pezoules is family-owned. It wasn't an all-inclusive, five-star resort. But that's what made it so nice. There were only seven units on site, and we barely saw the other residents. (Some units have their own private porch — we shared ours with one couple.)

The room's accommodations were very nice, but not luxurious by any means. The simplicity of the actual room was refreshing, and we didn't need anything fancier. After all, we spent most of our time at the hotel sitting on the porch looking out into the Mediterranean with a cocktail in hand. The price we paid was for privacy, intimacy, and relaxation, and it was well worth it.

Pezoules was by far the nicest hotel we've ever stayed at, and will likely be the nicest we ever stay at. We knew we were splurging on something special, and that made the experience so much more enjoyable. We knew we had to relish each and every moment, and we did.
