An authentic, rustic cave house in the Caldera of Oia. This feels like if your Aunt had a home in Greece and invited you to stay with her. It's rustic, but so true to how Santorini was before the tourists came. My husband, mother and I all stayed here and it was a great size for the 3 of us. The patio and rooftop patio provide incredible views of the ocean and the Caldera. You won't get a proper Santorini Sunset from here but you're steps away from one!
There are considerable stairs up and down from the property so that's something to consider if you have any mobility issues. Thankfully this is so low on the caldera that tourists from the cruise ships aren't marching around the home, but rather they're held back by some strategically placed ropes/chains that block the path down to the home so you have the path and views all to yourselves.
Rena helped arrange an airport transfer and porters to carry our luggage down at check in and back up at check out... this service is necessary as the steep stairs would make it nearly impossible to carry a suitcase down yourself.
You're a 3 minute walk from the main street of Oia with all the shops and restaurants at your fingertips. In the evenings little votive candles were lit on our porch and rooftop patio making it the only place we wanted to be as the sun went down. Incredibly dreamy.
If you're willing to forgo some of the luxuries that come with a modern hotel in favor of a more authentic, private, unforgettable experience than this is the booking for you. Thanks, Rena!
