This cave house is great for either a retreat, or a base to go on prearranged tours. The hostess can help with that! Otherwise, it is not conveniently located unless you have a car and are ok driving in very narrow one-way roads and are comfortable walking up cobblestones stairs to get home. Emmy is super helpful and can arrange anything so we were not stranded for getting groceries. The nearest market is an 18 minute walk each way. The house had a few supplies, but we ran out of some basics as we were 3 and staying for 5 days. There is a washer, but bring your own soap. Santorini requires a car to explore the various towns and this house is a good, quiet base to start from. Emmy is on site to assist and gets right back to you on phone for any needs. She and her family were friendly and helpful.
