Having grown up in an area of the US supposedly famous for its hospitality and traveled to many beautiful places with many gracious people, I was totally and completely blown away by the kindness and generosity of the people of Kaliviani, and especially our host.
The cave villa is unmistakably beautiful and elegant. For the price, it's unbeatable. It is great for a romantic stay for a couple (though I would not recommend it for more than that).
Our hostess provided several local products for our stay, including olive oil from her own production and local soaps.
The village is full of incredibly kind people. We were welcomed warmly by total strangers, and quickly given the opportunity to make several friends. The local taverna owner gave us her personal cell number in case we ever needed anything.
I can't recommend a stay in this village--and this beautiful villa!--enough. This is absolutely a vacation of a lifetime.
