    Extra coffee pods for nespresso would’ve been nice.

    The location was spectacular! Christina was always available if I needed anything. She set me up with personal drivers and always made the best reservations according to my needs. Housekeeping was wonderful and always worked around your schedule. I’m bringing my entire family back next year to experience this amazing place.

    We had a lower room so the walk up the steps everyday wasn’t to fun, however, it was so worth it. Careful if you have any leg problems, for the walk up may be tough.

    This place has amazing views. Probably some of the best in Santorini.

    Exquisite Gem in Santorini (Oia)
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller

    Aris Caves Hotel in Santorini is an absolute gem that truly exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea. Every corner of this boutique hotel is perfectly positioned to offer stunning panoramic vistas. The rooms are not only beautifully designed but also equipped with all the modern conveniences you could ask for. Despite the traditional cave-style architecture, every detail feels luxurious and comfortable, blending rustic charm with contemporary amenities. The cleanliness and attention to detail in the rooms were impeccable, making my stay all the more relaxing and enjoyable. What truly sets Aris Caves apart, however, is the staff and the incredible owner, Christina. From the moment I checked in, I was greeted with warm smiles and unmatched hospitality. Christina and her team went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, offering fantastic recommendations for local dining and activities, and making me feel right at home. Their genuine care and attentiveness made a world of difference. If you're looking for a unique, intimate, and unforgettable experience in Santorini, Aris Caves Hotel is the place to be. Between the stunning views, the beautiful accommodations, and the incredible service, this hotel is nothing short of perfection. I already booked my stay for next August!

    Nothing!

    Arrival into Aris Caves was very easy as Christina came to meet with us upon arrival. The stairs are steep but so is everywhere with an exceptional view in Santorini. The view made every flight worth it! The apartment was clean and I loved how the apartment was built into the cave, it was absolutely incredible. I travelled with my three kids who were 15,12 and 3 and whilst my older two were great I do think Santorini is probably not the greatest place for a loud and playful three year old :) Thank you for everything Christina!!

    Nothing really though my partner would have liked access to a swimming pool. We realise that is probably not achievable and is totally compensated for by the exceptional location.

    Stunning location, beautiful, tasteful accommodation. Friendly and very helpful staff.

    Too many stairs which were quite uneven plus low walls with large drops. This put us off a bit going out.

    Met with the porter at our taxi drop off. The porter carried our luggage all the way to our room and handed over the keys. Really brilliant service. The porter carried all of the luggage on his shoulders to descend down over 100 stairs.

    Look, there are steps up and down and they are killers BUT THAT IS SANTORINI ANYWHERE YOU GO, so not really a negative. We loved everything at Aris Caves.

    The staff smiles, the attention to the details with the decoration and when receiving guests, but as well as the choice of toiletries brand (smell so lovely), the mattress, the homely smell of the bed lining and towels, beautiful furniture and all finishings. I can safely say THE BEST PLACE I HAVE BEEN IN A LONG TIME. I travel the world regularly so feel I can say how good Aris Cave was. Thank you to Christina, Katerina, Ervin and all the others that we didn't get their names but remember their smiles. Thank you Aris Cave for the amazing time. I forgot to mention the view of the Caldera... Now that was something else completely. The views from Aris Cave is breath taking. Enjoy. Oh, also forgot to mention how private the rooms and the whole hotel is protected from the constant flow of tourists taking pictures of the Caldera views from the pedestrian walk at the top of the white washed buildings in Santorini. BEST PLACE TO STAY! Oh, wait, just remember, the homemade granola and olive oil made by the family that owns the hotel (so you will not find it anywhere else in Santorini) and local Santorini bottle of wine to make your stay even nicer. Also, manager Christina is amazing, great business woman with a massive smile and a kind side to her, (loved meeting you Christina). Christina put us at ease straight away, talked us about the island and what and where to go with maps and all the Info we might need but also her number so if we needed anything else (ie. A last minute taxi, from somewhere back to the hotel if we didn't know how to explain to driver, etc), very held and dedicated.This is what I am saying, THE BEST!! THANK YOU ARIS CAVES - SANTORINI ❤️

    Have nothing I didn’t like: Would maybe suggest screens on at least one window- we loved having the windows and doors open to see the scenery but naturally that let in some bugs. Also, when booking, strongly consider a room with a private pool (they were all booked up when we booked)

    Aris Caves is an exceptional place to stay in Oia. It’s super central but tranquil and quiet. The views and room were breathtaking. Christina was unbelievable- she was there to help us with our every need including booking amazing activities and transportation. She even left us home made muffins! The property exceeded my expectations- in sum, chic, central, spotless, and quiet.

    Nothing

    Exceptional view of the Caldera but away from the crowds. The outside space was perfect (we stayed in the Folio room) from breakfast spots, to sun loungers, to comfortable lounging area to watch the moon rise - oh and the spa! Everything you needed was available in the studio along with a very comfortable bed The space was considerably more attractive than the photos Finally the customer care was over and above and would go as far as to say the best we’ve ever received (and I’ve travelled a lot).

    It was perfect!

    The large balcony with private jacuzzi and view of the sea from the Kaliste room was absolutely exceptional. The room was so beautiful and comfortable. We loved the location in Oia and the privacy of the Kaliste room. The many steps to the room were well worth it. Christiana was so nice. And the porter who carried our suitcase and attended to the grounds was the best. We feel so fortunate to have found and booked Aris Caves. Our stay was just perfect!!
