    Host was very helpful. Open and plentiful communication after booking with recommendations and additional information. Met us at the port and arranged transfer to Oia. Open communication. Included breakfast was a surprise and a great addition. Location is absolutely amazing. Private doorway off the main street down to our terrace. Beautiful!

    Stunning compact cave house with amazing view

    We loved everything but something to note is that 1. Steps down are steep so not good for small children or folk with mobility problems 2. Beautifully compact so not spacious 3. The most private cave house we saw but still it close to other verandahs and you could have noisy neighbours. 4. Regular daily cleaning by lovely staff means daily visits even if you're relaxing in the tub and may include a dog .

    Stunning compact cave with exceptional view from verandah and hot tub. Two toilets and showers and small kitchen perfect for breakfast packed lunches and snacks. Absolutely loved our time here and would thoroughly recommend.

    These might be items typical to Greece that we Americans weren’t used to but the hot tub wasn’t quite as hot as expected. So with the cool temps at night it didn’t get quite hot enough to enjoy in the evenings. Also between the hot tub and open showers we definitely could have used more towels but honestly we never asked for more so that probably could have been fixed.

    The staff (Mattheo & Elizabeth) were amazing and ready to assist with anything. They arranged for airport transfer and met us to carry our bags down the harrowing stairs. The patio is everything and more than the pictures show. The cave bedroom gave us the best sleep because it was so dark and quiet. Oia is unbelievable and truly the most beautiful and picturesque place I’ve ever been to. I’m still happy we chose to visit even in the down season as we were able to see everything without a million other visitors but do be aware there are very few dining options in Oia. For dinner plan on taking a transfer to one of the other cities and then there are quite a few good options. Lotsa and Hungry Donkey were the only places that we saw consistently open, there were a few more at random times each day.

    The bed and couch were very uncomfortable and instructions on hot water were not found until last day so we took cold showers both days. It was so hot, so it was not a big deal to take cold shower but info should be shared with guests about how to turn on hot water ahead of time. The couch is very hard and NOT a good place for anyone to sleep. Although it says it fits 4 people, it is more for 2 people, 3 people max if they sleep on very hard couch. There is not room for 4 unless very small children. AC in living area does not get very cool. Investing better, more comfortable furniture for living area, especially more comfortable sleeping couches would be a HUGE improvement and make it perfect.

    Wonderful location and veranda. We loved the private spa and the view is to die for. Nice amenities and Elizabeth, the host, was fantastic with top notch personalized service. Liked there were 2 toilets and showers, also. Patio was lovely with plenty of room.

    Very minor details, as overall it was excellent. As a six foot one man, and a somewhat forgetful one at that, repeated head bumps from going through low doorways was a very literally pain in the head. Also, while neither myself nor my wife are heavy drinkers, if we were, getting back down the stairs into the apartment if you had a few sherries on board at the end of the night might be a little treacherous. Tis a bit steep, to say the least of it.

    The location couldn't be better. People were queuing up for sunset views on the street outside, we were looking out over the water and had the perfect view from our loungers. The property was immaculately clean, very well maintained, and extremely convenient to the main thoroughfare in Oia.

    The 2nd bed was fine for our kids, but won't work with kids 5'+ tall. It would have been great if the hot tub was along the property wall to give it infinity pool view.

    It was an authentic cave house experience. The property was perfect for a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids). It had 2 bath/toilet areas which made it easier for the family. Views from the property were awesome as was the hot tub. The host "Elizabeth" was awesome. She helped us throughout our stay and was very responsive on WhatsApp. Location is great (if staying in Oia).

    The cave house was pretty small for four people (two adults, two teenagers).

    The view is spectacular. The cave house is clean and airy. It is very centrally located in Oia, but still feels private. The hot tub was good (would have been nice if it was a little warmer). Elizabeth was a very gracious host (arranging our airport transfer, booking our catamaran cruise and recommending restaurants)! The porters and cleaning staff were helpful and friendly.

    While I appreciated the restaurant and other suggestions. Directions to the rental and conveying easy proximity to transportation options would have been more appreciated. See my directions above. Elisabeth offers a 40€ transfer. I ended up utilizing on the arrival, as my mom had hurt her knee. Given how easy opsis cave was to get to I would have never booked the transfer. Just a heads up a car rental was a 1/4 of the price at the airport then renting in town. A transfer both ways cost the same as my 5 day car rental. Easy to find parking (off season I parked at the post office or further down the street) No broom, dust pan, dish towel, or blankets, when asked for they were delivered straight away. The kitchenette is really basic, not for cooking big meals. We had an ant issue, despite keeping everything very clean.

    INSANE location and SUPER easy to get to. Use the Meteor cafe as your reference, the entrance to ops is cave is the red wall just beyond the cafe on the left side. From the bus it’s an easy walk, from a taxi drop off. You’ll likely get dropped at the post office, walk up to the top of the street through the arch way, turn right, walk 50 meters. Boom you’re in paradise. Elisabeth is nice and will give restaurant suggestions and the like. Mateo was incredible! Perfect hospitality, he turned up the hot tub for USA during insisted to help with our bags on our departure.
