Just concluded a 6-night stay at this magical place, and I’m only sorry that it couldn’t have been 6 weeks. The setting of the Cave House felt like Shangri-la, nestled in a valley surrounded by agricultural land and rugged hills bathed in the Greek afternoon sunshine. So quiet and peaceful, and such a relaxing place to unwind after a day exploring this beautiful island.
The Cave House itself is of course so amazing to take in - the pictures here are fantastic, but they only begin to describe just how delightful, how colorful, how incredibly unique it is as a destination. Trust me, you have never stayed anywhere quite like this! And that’s before you meet some of the most friendly, curious and insanely cute cats who roam the common areas of the property being absolutely adorable.
The best part of all is being hosted by Caterina and her son Jacob, who treat every guest like family and are living examples of the kindness and hospitality for which the Greek people are so deservedly known. They were so wonderful to chat with every morning and had the most amazing recommendations for tucked-away local villages and beaches which dot this large and incredibly diverse island.
Pro tip: do NOT miss out on requesting breakfast during your stay. In addition to being gracious hosts, Caterina and Jacob are very talented in the kitchen! Picture yourself enjoying fresh eggs laid that morning by the hens strolling past your table, which is set in a grove of citrus trees that produced the fresh squeezed juice on that table. It was just the most lovely way to start the day, and beyond worth the very nominal additional charge.
In addition to all this, I also want to thank Anastasia, with whom I didn’t have the chance to meet but who was superb in communicating all the details as my reservation approached and was readily available throughout my stay as well, via the app.
Staying at the Cave House has been an unforgettable experience - if you have the option, I would without hesitation recommend that you book it today.
Thank you, Caterina, Anastasia, and Jacob, for everything. I hope to see you again soon!
