Reading the reviews, I was worried about those stairs due to a recent health issue, but I honestly loved them! I didn’t find it challenging at all, though I’m young and fairly active.
The town is bustling with tourists during the day, but Rena’s cave houses feel secluded and private. The view from the patio is incredible—it was hard to peel myself away to go hiking every day. It’s a perfect spot to have a morning espresso and evening dinner.
Finally, the staff… Rena, Nikoletta and Soudip were an absolute pleasure! I’ve stayed at high end 5-star resorts (on a rare occasion through work), and I kid you not, the service was on par. Not only did Soudip carry my suitcase down all the stairs, he also gave me a tour of the cave house and made me an espresso. Nikoletta came by every morning with a smile to ask if I needed anything, and as the sun dipped below the horizon, she’d come back and light all of the candles. Rena was the friendliest and most accommodating host I’ve ever interacted with. I wish I had gotten to thank her face-to-face. I never felt like a burden, and will be recommending this spot to all.
