Staying at the Cave Houses was something truly special. This was SUCH a unique experience and I’m so grateful we decided on this Airbnb! ♥️ The unit itself was absolutely beautiful - decorated so tastefully with comfortable beds, tons of space, and it was super cool and cozy. We slept GREAT here. We had breakfast on our patio every morning which was magical. It felt so relaxed every time we went home because we got to leave the hustle and bustle of Oía and Fira - it was truly our little Oasis.
Theoni was our host and she was SO wonderful, I will always remember her hospitality. Even with our constantly changing plans, she provided nothing but complete kindness and flexibility, which was so appreciated. 🥰
My main tips if you do decide to stay here -
1. Don’t bother with the public bus system. We wanted to save a buck and take the busses instead of the transfer and it took an excessive amount of time. Just bite the bullet and take the transfer organized by Theoni. It was still a few dollars cheaper than an Uber.
2. You need a car if you’re going to stay here. It’s very out there, which is lovely for the peacefulness factor but you’re not within walking distance to any of the main sights. Theoni organized us a reasonably priced car so definitely go for that!
3. The pool is definitely a pool and not a hot tub! That caused us a bit of a confusion because the listing mentioned both.
4. There were no laundry services (even though it was in our welcome email, they can’t because of COVID). We went to a laundromat nearby and the place we went charged us 28€. 🙃 So if you can, just hold off on laundry until you get home.
Overall, we had a GREAT stay! We loved our time here and Santorini was so dreamy ☁️ Bucket list item - COMPLETE ✔️
