Rena’s cave house is beyond wonderful! Charming and comfortable, with endless thoughtful touches, this place has a stunning caldera view that is tucked away from the crowds of Oia.
The space itself has an abundance of character and was set up with everything we could have needed, including an espresso machine, which made mornings on the patio (with kittens snoozing around us) all the more enjoyable! The kitchen is well-equipped and Rena had thoughtfully stocked the fridge with bottles of water, wine, coffee, cake, butter, and jam. We found robes, slippers, and plenty of towels waiting for us as well. Nicole, the housekeeper was very welcoming and offered to clean everyday much like a hotel maid service. The AC worked exceptionally well, as did the WiFi. The beach below is beautiful and private although best reached with a good pair of walking shoes. We appreciated numerous other details, like beach towels/umbrella, a snorkel, guide books, and walking sticks. Rena also has kayaks which are free for guests to use, and she has a sailboat as well!
Although Rena was off the island during our stay, she was always very quick to respond and arranged transport to and from the cave house as well as a porter to help us with our bags, which made checking in and out seamless.
The cave house was the highlight of our three week trip and exceeded our already high expectations. Thank you, Rena, for an amazing stay. We hope to be back someday!
