Black Rock House is stunning! Built into the hillside, it is a traditional cave house. However, it has recently been updated with a beautiful modern bath, kitchen, etc. It is the best of both worlds: a traditional Cretan cave house, with decor that marries Greek style and a sleek, modern, sophisticated vibe. It was perfectly clean, with great amenities such as a bottle of wine, bottled water, juice, fruit, tea, coffee, etc. The rooftop terrace was magnificent. We loved the location. Vourvolous is a small village where we experienced traditional Greek charm and hospitality. The town square, just a couple of minutes down the street, is a great way to experience local culture. In the evenings, families gathered to talk and play on the square, in front of the church. We enjoyed fabulous meals at the charming family-owned and run taverna on the square. At times, parts of Santorini can be packed with tourists. Staying in Vourvolous allowed us to avoid the crowds and experience local flavor while staying in gorgeous accommodations at Black Rock House. Vourvolous beach is about a 25 minute walk or 10 minute drive, and has lovely black sand, a good cafe/restaurant, and no massive crowds. From Vourvoulos, we were able to drive to all of the major sights of Santorini, and avoid the crowds. I highly recommend this house.
