When I first started staying in AirBnBs, I did so for the experience of staying in someone’s home, someone’s special and personal space. Over the years, this novelty has disappeared, sadly, as Airbnbs have become year round spaces akin to hotels. And then I stayed at Vagelia’s GORGEOUS Cave House!
While my stay was very brief, I was touched by Vagelia’s warmth and her genuine care about my comfort as her guest. This cave house was no ordinary space, but rather was her family house, in which family members were born, life events were celebrated, and history was made. The large roomy space has been beautifully modernized with state of the art kitchen and bathroom fixtures and appliances, a very comfortable bed, portable and new ACs, and a new smart TV. Wow!
Located in the historic area of Santorini (Mesaria), the streets are narrow, windy, beautifully ancient. The main touristy part of town is accessible by inexpensive public bus, a mere 15 minute ride, or a 35 minutes walk away for the daring. Good restaurants are everywhere, as are good beaches, banks and other services.
Vagelia is in a league all her own. Unique. Engaged. Warm. Genuine. Thank you, Vagelia! I hope to return soon.
