My husband and I stayed at the White Cavehouse from 4/28-5/2 and it was the most magical 5 days of our lives. The house is a traditional cave house right on the side of the cliff- as pictured (and even more beautiful in person). The location is perfect as it is only a 5 minutes walk to the main road in town (uphill so get ready to climb some stairs), but also on a quiet walkway away from the bustle. The views are breathtaking as it looks out into the caldera and provides an amazing view of Oia, blue domes and all! The house is kept very clean (with a housekeeper coming daily) and it has all the amenities you need for a relaxing stay, including internet, TV, basic kitchen utensils, and an iron.
Tina and Fanis made our stay really easy and special. They arranged to have a shuttle pick us up at the airport for a reasonable fee to the shuttle company and then had a bag porter meet us at the shuttle stop to carry our heavy bags down to the apartment (make sure to tip him for his hard work!). Tina came to meet us the night we arrived to give us a map and great recommendations for dinner and activities. She even set up a sailing trip for us using her phone since we didnt have international service and had the housekeeper drop off beach towels prior to the sailing day. And at the end, the bag porter and the shuttle were all set up for us to get back to the airport (although we never wanted to leave).
I cant say enough for this rental home. The only reason I would ever advise someone to not stay there is if they are unable to climb stairs. Otherwise, this is a traditional, comfortable, and special place to spend your time in Santorini. We are already looking forward to our next trip and hope this is still a rental option when the time comes!
