My wife and I heard so many amazing things about Oia and had to visit. The Hector Cave House is in a perfect location, minutes walk from anywhere in Oia village, and far enough into the town that cars are completely absent and all you can see is the crystal blue water and beautiful white and blue houses climbing up the cliffs.

The house was fantastic, and exactly as described and pictured! (In fact, pictures really can't capture the views from the private terrace right outside your door). The porch/terrace right outside the entrance is private (but only separated by a small wall from the neighbors); however, the top terrace is a huge plus as it's big, has even better views, and is completely private. The house was clean, comfortable, and cooled off quickly despite our August arrival. We had everything we needed inside, even ground coffee for the espresso maker!

Giannis was an amazing host, and was in touch with us from the moment we booked. He helped arrange our travel to and from the house, gave us recommendations around the village, and even helped us find a restaurant with a particular local beer.

We can't wait to be back soon.
