We loved our stay at Maria’s place. Maria helped us arrange a taxi from the airport ahead of time and someone met us in town to help us carry our bags and show us to the cave house. The place is in a PERFECT location- very quiet at night, near the main stretch in Oia, and with a beautiful view. Maria stopped by in the morning and offered us great advice on where to eat/what to do/where to go, and she was extremely responsive through the Airbnb app- both before and during the trip. Maria’s assistant also helped us on the exit of our trip- carrying bags and helping us get to the taxi that he had arranged. The place was very clean. Maria even left us a full bottle of drinking water for our arrival! We absolutely loved the experience of staying in a cave house- so unique, and the bathroom in the cave was beautiful!
A few things to take note of:
There are tourists who stop by during the day to take photos by the stairs and the deck, but this didn’t bother us (we are quite sure that there would have been much more foot traffic had we stayed in a cave house farther North in Oia).
The bed is quite firm.
The place gets hot at night (the only window available to open is on the door, as it is a cave house!)
We didn’t use the kitchen for cooking, however if you plan to cook, the kitchen is a very small space.
Beach towels are not provided.
... all this being said, if we ever come back, we will most definitely stay at Maria’s cave house again!! It was an unforgettable experience.
