Staying at the cavehouse was like a dream come true. The views are amazing. The apartment's design is unique to the area and worth staying in!
Ioanna arranged for us to be picked up at the airport, which allowed us a nice view of the island before arriving in Oia. Upon arrival, after we caught our breath from the beautiful views, she treated us to a snack of sweet grapes. Delicious! A helpful book created by Ioanna taught us where to go and also gave a strong history of Oia and the house. She also arranged for our transportation back to the airport, even though we didn't want to leave!
Oia is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, and the small patio and seating area allowed us to soak it all in while listening to the waves crashing below. Sitting on the roof or the lower patio provided a perfect view of the famous Santorini sunset. Many people stopped to photograph the place, likely because of the traditional colors, high level of maintenance, and the ever blooming flowers.
Restaurants and shops were a short walk away. The steps and winding paths were intimidating at first, but surprisingly easy to navigate.
I was also surprised to find the house larger than expected from the images. It is broken into a kitchen, living area, bedroom and bathroom. There was plenty of room to stretch out and relax, and it would be suitable for couples or a couple with children. As an added bonus, wine from the owner's winery is readily available!
The room gets a bit humid, as it is inside of a cliff, but the open windows and air-conditioning prevent it from becoming an issue. Clothing is easily washed in the sink and dried on the porch's built-in drying rack.
If you are thinking about booking this room, just do it! It's a beautiful place on a beautiful corner of the world. I truly hope we will be back!
