I visited Santorini with a friend after a few days in Athens. We were looking for a base to relax and explore the island and this was the perfect place for it! The view from the private terrace is unbelievable. We spent a lot of time sitting just relaxing and enjoying the view with a nice glass of wine or local beer. Imerovigli is the best location in my opinion. It is close enough to Fira to walk and enjoy the nice restaurants along the way, we especially enjoyed the ones in Firostefani, but feels much quieter and more relaxed than Fira or Oia. We did the hike to Oia one day and it was amazing. We got the bus quite a few times and found it a cheap and comfortable way to get around the island. The house itself is so unique, I loved all the little personal touches and being able to see the cave walls inside. I have never stayed anywhere like it. It was very comfortable and the air conditioning was much appreciated on the warmer days. We had such an amazing trip to Santorini and staying at the Author's Cave was the best choice we made. I highly recommend it to anyone thinking of booking!
