    Great location with great views, made a memorable vacation by super friendly, helpful host
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Two-Bedroom Cave House with Caldera View
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Wish the property had an additional half bathroom so a family of 4 didnt have to compete for the single bathroom, especially given that the Jacuzzi was also in the bathroom. Wish the Jacuzzi was outdoor as it was in many adjacent properties, so we could enjoy the views. With the restrictions on not flushing the used toilet paper (need to put the used toilet tissue in a garbage can), I wish there was daily trash pickup.

    Elizabeth is an amazing host. She went over the details of the property, the nearby attractions, dinner & activity recommendations as well as help secure reservations. She was very communicative and easily accessible via phone. When we needed additional sheets & towels, she quickly arranged to have them delivered. She made our first visit to Santorini a memorable visit. The location of the facility is in Oia. The Caldera views from the balcony was amazing or as my traveling party coined it a 'million dollar view'. Though in touristy Oia, the location felt mostly secluded and relaxing, but within 2 min from the Oia touristic part. Breakfast was included which I was not aware of and hence a pleasant surprise and we made the most of it by having breakfast on balcony with the full 180 degree panoramic view of the caldera and Mediterranean sea (for which restaurants in Oia were charging premium prices)

    It was expensive but that’s Santorini.

    The porter helped us with our bags and gave us the keys. The view was breathtaking! We loved the cave house.

    Great service, cave house experience and unbeatable views. Just a lot of stairs!
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Two-Bedroom Cave House with Caldera View
    • Stayed 2 nights

    There was a weird smell that resembled fishy cat poop but it did fade away (or maybe our noses just got used to it) but there were a lot of cats in Greece in general so it can't be helped. The stairs was also a nightmare as it was on the edge of the Santorini cliffs so it was very difficult for the family of 4 with lots of big, heavy luggages. We knew what we're signing up for in sacrifice for the iconic views but Elizabeth and her team made it a lot easier for us as they helped to and back the property and we're so thankful.

    Santorini has always been top on my list to visit and when my family went to Europe in December 2023 we wanted to splurge a little for the views, relaxation and comfort. We visited during the off season and it was nice to have no crowds and it really felt like we had the cave house and island to ourselves. Elizabeth, her husband and the rest of the team were very hospitable and we had one of the best (if not, the best) customer service throughout our entire trip and we visited a lot of places and stayed in a lot of accommodation properties. The uniqueness of the cave house was also a great experience and had the best views in the morning and the evening. We only stayed for 2 nights so we didn't manage to do a lot but Elizabeth was so nice and had great recommendations that I wish we had more time to explore. I can really say she cared about her guests and wanted us to have the best time in Santorini. Thank you so much!

    Our host, Elizabeth was fantastic. I would suggest using her to arrange transports, as she was waiting for us at the ferry and was able to answer all of our questions directly and give us the lay of the land. We also had Elizabeth arrange a private boat charter that exceeded our expectations and was the highlight of our Santorini visit. The house had everything we needed, and everyone was happy with the accomodations.

    It’s a bit pricey compared to the facility and amenities at villa. But once you take prime location into account, it worth paying.

    Elizabeth was so kind to give us recommendations we need during the stay. The villa is at the prime location in Oia. Although we cannot see sunset from villa, we noticed it is better. Because the sunset area is so crowded and windy, whereas the villa is so quiet and we can immerse ourselves into Santorini.

    little water leaking from house outside, so when we walked from outside to inside ended up tracking wet feet and some dirt into the apartment. could use a little more room inside each of the bedrooms, but this is expected with the tight quarters in the cave houses.

    great location. very nice balcony, mostly covered from sun overlooking the caldera. Gorgeous views and in the center of Oia. Perfect place to be in the middle of the action but at the same time avoiding the tourist crowds.

    The only thing we can say is the walk to the entrance is down a concrete path by other cave houses, and if you have mobility problems it could be an issue. This was not an issue for us, or wouldn't be for most people. Oia is not a town you want to stay in if you have mobility issues.

    The help that the host, Elizabeth, gave us by picking us up from the airport and taking us to the ferry port made the stay so much easier. The view is amazing with a great patio area. Close to restaurants and shopping. Overall, a wonderful stay.
