Maria was a wonderful host. She prearranged our pick-up and had her boys help with our luggage. During our stay, she called to check in to see how things were going or if we had any needs. The place is exactly as advertised, warm and welcoming.. It is plenty big enough for 2-4 guest. The jacuzzi in great working order and a wonderful treat on a chilly night. Everything was neat and organized. She also provided a welcome wine and snacks in the small fridge. Of course there will be picture takers in the area but overall it wasn’t too bad. If you want a secluded spot, don’t stay directly on the caldera. Sunrise pictures were fantastic and sunset was just around the corner. Lastly, you will travel about 2 flights of steps to get up to the main pathway. If you have mobility issues, this might be a little challenging. It wasn’t difficult for us. We really enjoyed the place and I would definitely come back to Maria’s cave house if I were to visit Santorini again.
