A cozy home, peaceful and relaxing.

Thank you Ms. Alexandra for being a great host! I cannot thank you enough for arranging our transportation to and from the port, scheduling our rental, providing all details for the activities around Santorini and helping us communicate with the professional photography company. Our 3rd year anniversary celebration was flawless because of you. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your gorgeous comfortable home that had so much more and everything we needed. For other guess: our stayed was (22-24 September) were tourism was at a lower peak. July/August/1st half of September is super crowded and cannot imagine driving a car during the peak of tourism season. This is an amazing cave house tucked away in a quiet village away from busy streets and tourist crowds. I used one of the two bedrooms but the cave house will easily accommodate two couples with two teenagers. There’s plenty of room for everyone and the pictures do not do justice to this beautiful comfortable home. Living room, Kitchen, fridge and bathroom were immaculate and Super clean. Outdoor patio was cozy, comfortable and private. Santorini streets are narrow and while getting a car is convenient an ATV was the safest perfect solution for the crowded busy streets where parking was quite difficult. With an ATV the cave house is 5 minutes away to the Caldera’s sunset parking spot, 5 - 10 minutes away from mini markets, 18 minutes away to Santo Winery, 25 - 30 minutes to Fira and 40 -45 minutes to Oia. We enjoyed the ATV rides around the island, how close we could park to our final destinations and filling up the gas tank with 8 euros in 3 days of riding everywhere. The ATV had a storage box to accommodate some of my shopping items so a backpack was a great addition. If you stay in this cave gem you will need some sort of transportation to get around. If you bring large suitcases be mindful that you will have a 40 - 50 meters walk uphill and stairs, but worth it. Everyone talks about the sunsets in Santorini but the sunrise in this gem private terrace was stunning and romantic! If you like privacy, peace and quiet after a busy day shopping and walking in crowded Fira and Oia then this cave is perfect! for you!

Everything was great until we had been in the cave house for one hour. At that point one of us was having asthma and another had a serious allergic reaction. Our host informed us that mildew is normal for a cave and the booking was non-refundable. We moved to a hotel. This property is for mildew lovers only.

We were so excited for our cave stay on Santorini, unfortunately, this place was underwhelming and disappointing. The Kitchen was old and out of date, and inside the cupboard were moldy. We had to wash the dishes and leave them on the counter in between use. There was visible black mold around the kitchen sink and rust on the microwave. It is the winter months which we knew, but we needed to continually run the dehumidifier and an air conditioner to pull out the damp air. I attempted to communicate with the owner who would not answer my emails and has not communicated with me since my email of concern to her after the second night. We found alternative accommodation as we have small children and did not want them living in a moldy space. The owner is not approachable nor willing to talk through the VRBO mediation process. I am very disappointed that she would not refund us for the days not spent, nor was she willing to talk to the VBRO representative as they too tried to contact her. Thankfully, this did not dampen our Santorini stay as it is a wonderful Island to visit., however, I would use caution if staying in this accommodation. It does not seem to present as well as the previous reviews led me to believe.

We had an amazing time in Santorini and our stay in this Cave Home was a big part of it! Our host, Emma, gave us several great suggestions about activities and places to go and even arranged several of them for us. The home is in a quiet area and perfect for getting an authentic experience. There is plenty of room in the home and the kitchen is super convenient for breakfast and snacks. We were able to walk to some restaurants and a grocery store. I highly recommend staying here!

What an amazing property and hosts. Alexandra and Emmy are gracious and helpful hosts, as was the rest of thier family. The local residents of Vothonas were equally as welcoming and kind. The house itself is well appointed for the perfect home away from home. The property is beautiful, clean, and represented well in the property photos. We enjoyed dining alfresco on the patio in the evening, and coffee on the rooftop terrace in the mornings. The village is as picturesque as you would imagine, so do take time to walk the village and enjoy the lack of crowds. The cave house is in a traditional village, away from the busier tourist areas, but centrally located on the island to make all areas easily accessible. I do agree with prior reviews that a car or transportation is a must; however, most tour groups (we did a wine tour and a catamaran tour) offer pickup at a nearby hotel which is also walking distance from the property. Thank you again Alexandra and Emmy. "The girls" throughly enjoyed our stay, and I know I will most certainly be back.

We were so impressed with the Cave home. It is exactly like the pictures, but better!! It is hard to describe how unique and beautiful this place is from any vacation home we've stayed in all our travels. The owners, sisters Emma, Alex and Anna (off site) were so gracious and accommodating during our stay . You will not be disappointed . A must try. Thank you again Rob and Eleanor Canada Note: if you rent a car , which is a good idea to see ethe island, make it a small one. Not much space in the parking lot.:)

Lovely lovely space and truly enjoyed the charm of this one of a kind home. ONLY one item that I would say was disappointing - the location as it relates to the city and other high lights of Santorini. A car or a mode of transportation is a must for the bus system in Santorni is overworked. We were so fortunate that we had an amazing driver Nikos that gave us pointers and helped us get to where we need to go . Otherwise we would have felt stranded. A better understanding of transportation a MUST that needs to be added to the description and finding the place is very difficult. Again Nikos came to our rescue!
