This place is beautiful and away from the noise and chaos of Fira and Oia. The house itself had all the necessary amenities and Sarah was such a great host, she had a stocked fridge and fresh bread waiting for us on our arrival and helped arrange easy pickup and transfer back to the airport.
We opted out of getting a car for the week since we didn't plan to leave the house every day and don't particularly like driving switchback roads after that experience on the Amalfi Coast. Not to worry, taxis to Fira, Perissa and Oia were pretty easy to arrange, reasonably priced and there is a bus stop by the nearby church that is on the Fira to Pyrgos route.
The garden areas were beautiful and our rooftop oasis with pool, sun loungers and shade was a tranquil break we enjoyed on several occasions. If you are on the taller side, like me, the small traditional doorways to some rooms (mainly the bathrooms) take a little getting used to. After a couple times clocking the top of my head, it was much easier to remember!
The kitchen worked out well for us on days we opted to cook and have lunch or dinner al fresco. My daughter had her own room with charming little windows that felt like a little fairy tale cottage inside the house. The details of the house the old stone are really impressive. Our week at Cavern House Anthea was great and we hope to return one day.
