We had a very good time at Le Bateau ivre. Rena was a wonderful, welcoming hostess. She left us a nice bottle of organic wine and breakfast items for the morning. She even brought me a hairdryer as she knew I needed one. Rena also arranged for a porter to carry our bags upon arrival and departure, as there are many steps and it would have been difficult for us to manage them with bags in tow. The location of the cave house is in a neighborhood down many steps from the main thoroughfare of Oia. We appreciated this location as it felt like we were more in a neighborhood versus tourist strip, which was very quiet, yet the main area of Oia was just a short walk away (albeit up stairs). The caldera views from the private balcony are breathtaking (as were the picturesque houses on either side)!! Also, our room was very clean and the housekeeper was very friendly and came daily to tidy up and leave us new towels, etc. That being said, I agree with another reviewer who felt that the house is very basic for the price, and after 4 nights I was ready to move on to better amenities (for a lower cost) elsewhere. We did not use the jacuzzi tub (it was hot enough in Santorini while we were there), but I will say periodically swamp like fumes emit from the bathroom near the shower, but whatever ventilation system is in place, they do go away. You have to hold the attachment for the shower while washing as there is no hook on the wall. Also, this did not overly bother us as we have 3 cats at home, but I should point out in case you are allergic, that a cat came into our room several times through a rip in the screen on the window, usually to sleep on the chest under the window, but once it climbed into bed with us. It is very friendly and my husband just picked it up and put it outside (whereupon it came back in, lol!) I will say that I felt like I had a very authentic experience.
