    We loved everything

    This place is exceptional, everything about it is perfect. Katerina was so helpful and answering questions before the stay and throughout the trip. It’s even better than the pictures! The location is perfect. The area is so beautiful, with amazing restaurants and it’s lovely and quiet to thoroughly enjoy the huuuuge balcony and plunge pool. Katerina changed the temperature as per my request before arriving and constantly checked everything was okay. The first night she booked us a restaurant after arriving late which was just perfect in every way! The walk to Oia is very short and easy - we went everyday - I would stay here again and will in a heartbeat. The accommodation is very spacious, and lovely and cool due to the cave house style. The balcony is perfect, we had breakfast there daily and used to plunge pool mornings and afternoons - and enjoyed a drink watching the sunset which you can see from the balcony also! I honestly cannot fault this place, and highly recommend it to anyone! Katerina clearly cares for the place and for her guests thank you!!!

    Nothing it was great

    Everything, it’s quiet away from the hustle bustle of Oia yet is only a short walk away. The village is adorable and the restaurants are steps away and excellent. The owner is so lovely and can’t do enough to help. Such a nice nice visit. We stayed in the rooftop room with private terrace and spa pool and it was just perfect. The view is perfection.

    We had a wonderful stay thanks to Katerina. She was lovely and gave us great recommendations for beautiful Santorini. The location was perfect, a short walk from Oia and very close to the bus stop to go to Fira or elsewhere on the island. Beautiful clean room - was especially nice to have a coffee machine and water each day!

    Absolutely nothing

    What a fantastic stay from start to finish. The location was perfect, 10 minutes walk out of Oia, close enough to head out and enjoy the views and perfectly placed to step back and find some peace and calm. The cave house is in a quaint village called Finikia. It’s charming with three restaurants (all fabulous) and a great little supermarket. The island buses run just outside the village so there’s plenty of options to explore. The accommodation was fabulous, cool, comfy, equipped with the all important coffee machine and plenty of pods! The host Katarina is totally amazing. She organised our transfers, trips, restaurant bookings (her brothers sunset restaurant is lovely) and even went out of her way to find me an anniversary card and cake. We were made to feel like family, especially touched when she organised for a surprise anniversary dessert for us on our last night. it was really hard to say goodbye! This accommodation is totally fantastic, don’t hesitate…book it!

    Nothing. Just wish I’d booked longer

    This is in a really pretty area of Santorini that is a short 10 minute walk to the busy Oia. Really liked that is wasn’t as busy, there are some lovely restaurants really close by as well. The owner of this hotel is so nice, she arranged all our transfers and was waiting for us at the bus stop. The rooms themselves are done out to a very high standard, we loved staying in a little cave house. We had our own private terrace and hot tub that made it feel extra special. Will definitely return

    No complaints!

    Staff were wonderful - met us at the transfer drop-off, gave overview of the attractions, were overall very sweet. Location was nice, in a small village about 5-10 min walk from Oia, but some really good restaurants closeby. Very cute garden and plunge pool - nice to soak in after the Fira to Oia hike! Room was very big, lots of room for the 3 of us. The "cave" was a very cool atmosphere - one of the coolest spots we stayed in Greece.

    Nothing - everything was perfect

    Perfect from start to finish. Katerina arranged transfer from the pet to the hotel and met us on arrival, looking after our bags as we were a bit early to check in. When we went to the room, it was fantastic, it was clean and spacious, beautifully decorated, and a calm, cool oasis from the business of Oia. There is a shared private garden area and plunge pool which is also a calm, relaxing oasis from the crowds in Oia. Location wise is also perfect - a short 10 minute walk from the start of the main tourist areas of Oia, and from the start of the 10km Oia-Fira hike. Katerina was on site all the time if you needed her, she was the perfect host! Highly recommend this place to use a base to explore Oia!

    Nothing - everything was lovely and we will definitely stay here when we come back to Santorini :)

    We only stayed here for one night the night before a flight back to the UK - but as soon as we settled into the house, we regretted not booking it for longer. The cave houses are beautifully decorated and the plunge pool and garden area is wonderful and peaceful. Katerina was a lovely host, she even met us from the taxi drop off and prepared a lovely basket of breakfast items for us to eat outside the morning of our flight. The location is about a 15 min walk Oia, and we much preferred staying here rather than closer to Oia and in the madness of all the other tourist. Would highly recommend staying here :)

    Architecturally designed accommodations in a cave! The view, the privacy, an easy straight-line ten minute walk to Oia and the crowds, 2 minute walk to one of the few authentic restaurants of Santorini with a view « Meze Meze ». And of course Katerina the manager, my daughter’s favorite person in Greece. She goes put of her way to make your stay an excellent experience. Thank you Katerina.
