    We loved everything. It is a short walk into oia area, maybe 10 minutes

    The property is beautiful. It was really spacious for our family of 4 and we liked having our private outdoor area with mini spa. The rooms are serviced daily and the staff are so helpful. They give you a WhatsApp number on arrival and answer all questions so quickly. They even arranged to have balloons and cake for my partners birthday. Very personalized service. I highly recommend staying here

    The walkways were difficult for anyone not in great shape. Lots of stairs and uneven areas required us to always look down. Too easy to slip and fall.

    Perfect for two couples. The view was amazing and the patio overlooking the sea was very spacious. Hot tub a plus.

    It was a hike to come up and down the hill - where the car was parked. The reception folks take some time to respond back to your requests.

    They have sister hotel in the same place - I had to pick up the key from the reception area. What I liked is that they had bell service to take the luggage up and down the hill which is impossible to do without any help. Room Service

    Unique Greek Experience

    We struggled a little with steps and distance to the accommodation it’s not for the faint hearted or anyone with a disability. My quads were al it more toned after the holiday than they were when we arrived.

    The property was unique and unlike any other accommodation we have had in other Greek locations. Usually we like something secluded and very private. This quaint cave was in the middle of a network of lanes which was a thoroughfare to the wonderful restaurants nearby. We began to enjoy the sounds of footsteps and voices as people meandered through. The staff were amazing, sorting out trips, printing boarding passes, booking taxi’s and recommending tavernas. We would highly recommend Meze Meze, the best by a country mile.

    It was't clear whether the food/drink we had could be replenished by the owners or not. We weren't sure whether a cleaner would come (although they were great when they did!). It would be helpful to have this information provided in the property, along with details of local buses. The location is challenging due to all the steps.

    Very comfortable beds and an amazing shower. Good daily cleaning. Jacuzzi extremely well maintained. A great spot from which to explore the island.

    There wasn’t much not to like. We could have done with a broom to sweep up food scraps between the daily cleans. We managed drying our hand washing on the outdoor furniture but a small line with pegs would also help.

    Actually a better location than chintzy touristy Oia. Quiet but with two very good restaurants and a taverna 50 metres away. Team managing it were very responsive on Whatsapp during stay booking cars for us for island excursions and portering our bags down the twisty stepped path from the hotel reception 5 minutes away. Plunge pool was fine to cool off, and when the kids wanted a bigger pool to play in we went to Laokasti Villas down the road for a small fee which included towels and drinks. I guess it must have been built/renovated 18 months or so ago and is still in great nick just like the photos, a true cave house with vaulted rendered ceilings, barely a straight line inside. We were there in July heat, it was cool and dark and had three aircon units, although because of the design we only needed to use some of the time. The patio outside has direct views of the sunset over the sea. Self service breakfast supplies of “toasty” ingredients, yoghurt, fruit, juices and cereals were fine. We augmented these from a fairly extensive grocery store 3 minutes walk away. The kids loved the friendly cats, me, a little more wary :-). We are fairly demanding of our accomodation quality and it easily met our expectations and was the best value for money of anywhere we stayed in Europe on this trip.

    the only bad thing is that the electric wires are in the view of the sunset

    Beautiful sunset view. Very big room / apt with large comfortable terrace and little kitchen. Very attentive/responsive staff. Convenient location with a 7-minute walk to the center of Oia (pronounced ee-ya) where all the crowds and tourist shops are. It’s right next to Meze Meze, our favorite restaurant with an excellent bartender for cocktails. We highly recommend the Mellow Luxury Cave (coming from two picky New Yorkers.)

    The only thing we didn't like was the shower. The water flow was very slow.

    It is in a very good location, only walking distance to the town and the bus station. The breakfast was very good. There was everything we needed. There were no eggs so we requested and they provided. They gave us whatever we needed.

    the photos and blurb is very misleading regarding the pool - there is no swimming pool in Mellow Cave - just a small jacuzzi. Lots of steps and hills to navigate so need comfortable shoes and healthy knees!

    The breakfast was fine - basic but satisfactory (cheese, bread and fruit). the accommodation was very comfortable and spacious - very private and not overlooked. Two very spacious double bedrooms with the most comfortable beds and a fab outdoor seating area with a lovely egg chair. The staff were very professional and helpful and the location was brilliant - 15 minutes walk to Oia which is a gorgeous place to see and spend time in.

    Had a great experience for 3 nights in this property. Would definitely recommend this place, has cool cave rooms, bathroom and a nice hot tub as shown in the pictures. It's a brand new place and wonderfuly maintained. Breakfast was decent. Olga (receptionist) was extremely kind and helpful. There are amazing restaurants nearby (5 mins walk), e.g. Lefkes and Meze Meze. Oia market is about 20 mins by walk which is just perfect. If you don't like walking, there is a bus stand right outside so you can go to Oia/Fira. Overall, quite happy with property and hospitality received.

    The location is very far from Oia. At least 25minute walk to where everything happens. The Jacuzzi pictures are very deceiving. It’s a small jacuzzi tucked in a corner. When they say you are served breakfast, it means a loaf of bread and ham and cheese on the fridge. This is an apartment. You don’t get any service as you would in a hotel. The affiliation to Aperanto Suites is very confusing and misleading. When we checked in, we enquired about use of facilities and showers for our last day as we were only departing at 5pm to the airport. All was promised to us. On the day, we were denied entry to the pool because we weren’t guests at Aperanto. The shower that was offered to us was the open shower next to the pool! I almost laughed at the absurdity of being offered a shower at the poolside. Needless to say we left to the airport hot and sweaty. I would not recommend this property as it’s very expensive or what you get.

    The property was big, spacious and clean.
