This gorgeous cave house was the perfect place to unwind after our hectic five week holiday in Central Asia and Jordan. With its stunning location overlooking the caldera, the cave house has it all - charm, simplicity and tranquility. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the deck chairs with a drink watching the setting sun for five glorious evenings.

Panos is an excellent host responding promptly to our emails, organising the transfers to and from the airport, and arranging for a porter to carry our bags from the car park at Oia to the cave house. We were very pleased that we had accepted Panos's initial offer to organise the transfers and porter as you absolutely need both. Unless you're a mountain goat, don't even consider carrying your own bags through the narrow winding streets and steep stairs of Oia.

Panos paid us a visit very soon after our arrival to check that everything was in order and that we were settled. He suggested a couple of activities and good restaurants we might like to consider.

Oia is a popular port of call for cruise ships and gets very crowded. We loved escaping back to the cave house as it's in a quieter part of Oia and not readily accessible by other tourists.

If Santorini is on your bucket list, you'll love staying at this quintessential cave house. You will treasure the memories.
