    I little hard to find parking ( we had a car) but I think it’s would be everywhere in Santorini.

    It’s amazing. We loved all details . We didn’t expect daily cleaning, snacks for breakfast and water was a pleasant surprise. Dimitra was excellent host. She met us to welcome in her family property. 5+++ I would strongly recommend that property.

    There was nothing I didn’t like at all

    Very beautiful and interesting property having served as the Bakery in the past. Very attractive and authentic design in this traditional cave house. I loved the atmosphere which was welcoming and inviting and just made me want to stay. The host was the kindest and most welcoming I have had the pleasure to visit with . If you are staying in Pyrgos you will not be disappointed with your stay here. Additionally milk, juice, water and range of tea, coffee and snacks were offered. Daily housekeeping with fresh linen and towels. I cannot ask for anything more and will return.

    I honestly can't think of anything.

    Dimitras' accommodation was one of the highlights of our stay. The actual cave house we stayed in was perfectly renovated but was simultaneously authentic to its past. There is nothing I can think of that was missing in the house, maybe only that the internet connection was a bit intermittent. We absolutely loved the front yard, spacious with several sitting spots perfect for different parts the the day, not to mention the terrace with deckchairs for winding down and sunset watching. There are a couple of cats that like hanging out in the yard too, very well-behaved and thankful for a few biscuits - hopefully they will be sterilized ;) Dimitra was on hand for anything we needed, she went over and above. We only stayed for 4 nights, but on the second day she topped up our orange juice supply and basic snacks too, which I was very surprised by!

    Еxcellent magnificent location,especially off season. Dimitra is such a nice person! So helpful. Cave house equipped with all necessary things for a wonderful stay. Sunset and view on top of the roof - something from another dimension. Dont forget to bring food for a plenty furry little friend, who are waiting for You in the morning(9 cats) at once :)

    Everything - could not fault it.. We feel like the luckiest people to have stay at Olyra. The review is long but so are the things to compliment so by all means keep reading but book it now - don’t wait! Firstly the hosts communication was impeccable, she offered to assist us with an airport transfer which was greatly appreciated. We were met in the Pyrgos square by a lovely young man who helped us with our bags the short walk to our accommodation and showed us the place. The stay included breakfast items which were greatly appreciated. As luck would have it they had an extreme wind event which caused a few hours without power. The host was checking on us straight away and continually. The highlight by far was the stunning property. It was comfortable and homely and absolutely breathtaking and traditional. The young man told us the house used to serve as the bakery for the village and it felt like living history we had the privilege to stay at. The walk through the town was charming and breathtaking, the cats were a charming addition and the minimart down the street had all essentials for us considering some restaurants were closed during off season. If we ever came back to Santorini it would be to Pyrgos and never leave! Thankyou.

    It’s a bit of a climb, but the whole town is a bit of a climb, filled with winding streets, alleys and interesting nooks.

    The cave house was charming, nicely appointed with pots, pans and food. It also had an easy to get to roof for stargazing.

    I do think the bedding would be better classed as a double bed and king single bed. Our 2 teenage children shared in the 2nd bedroom and it was smaller than expected. Maybe the other apartments are different?

    We loved staying in the village of Pyrgos and a traditional Cave House. Our host, Dimitra provided a lovely welcome and was approachable if we had any questions. Terrific sunset views from the rooftop.

    I liked everything about the property. It is clean. The hostess is very friendly. Everything about the place is charming - architecture, furniture and decor. The place is quiet and peaceful. Also, the courtyard and the terrace is a lovely place to have breakfast. The hostess provides traditional Greek juice, cookies, granola bars, rusk, bread, cheese, lunch meat, eggs, coffee and tea.

    It was a bit of a trek over uneven cobblestone paths to get to the house. You cannot drive right up to it. But that’s what makes it more charming and away from crowds.

    Olyra is adorable! We really felt like we traveled back in time, living as locals do. There was a rooftop deck as well with lovely views. Dimitra was so kind and hospitable!
