The cave house in Santorini was just as it's pictured in the listing photos. It's an amazing house with a lovely enclosed garden seating area. We enjoyed our stay there very much. We spent evenings and mornings outside in the garden, which we never had to share. Ekaterina was a wonderful host, greeting us with bowls of deliciously sweet grapes that she grew in the garden, and breakfast items for the morning. She was warm and available to help with anything we needed. The house was a little difficult to find because the neighborhood is so secluded, but Ekaterina's directions were accurate. The house was clean and spacious and had a very nice, fully equipped kitchen. The house has no air conditioning but we soon found out that the house was cool in the evening. There were fans, but we didn't actually need them. There was a washing machine, which was great to have! The neighborhood felt very safe even when arriving back at night after a day of traveling around the island.

The first night we ate at a restaurant on the beach that Ekaterina recommended and it was excellent and very romantic. We rented a car at the port when we arrived, since we had heard from Ekaterina that the buses were usually packed. Every area was accessible by car. We especially enjoyed Akotiri's archeological site. Red Beach was amazingly beautiful and on our way back to the cave house we stopped at a restaurant overlooking the caldera to have dinner and see the sunset - perfect! We visited Fira on our last day in Santorini.

We loved our stay at the cave house, and regret that we didn't stay longer - we didn't have nearly enough time to see more things on the island. It was such a beautiful and relaxing place to stay. There was a lovely old church across the street, and one morning a man with donkeys rode past us as we headed out for the day.

If you going to Santorini and considering Ekaterina's cave house - don't hesitate - book it! You will be enchanted by the house, the neighborhood and Ekaterina!
