My husband and I stayed at Unique Architecture cave house in Oia and we were not disappointed. (I will probably repeat some of what a number of other reviewers have already said, but still feel it is worth repeating.)

Firstly the cave house is in the most fantastic situation with views to die for and so central for everything you need during your stay. However, despite being so central was still a tranquil space and did not feel like it was in the middle of Oia.

The pictures on the site are very reflective of the space so we were very happy with our choice and Laskarina and John were most helpful hosts, before and during our holiday. They were always very quick at responding to any queries and also provided a very helpful email at the beginning of our stay with places to eat, visit, best beaches, etc. Also the added bonus of a fruit basket and bottles of water and wine on our arrival which was very thoughtful.

The place was cleaned numerous times during our week long stay and there was always an abundance of clean towels as well as beach towels left for us to use.

Oia will not disappoint anyone who chooses to visit, it's such a beautiful place and although at times it can get rather crowded with tours from visiting cruise ships this did still not distract from an amazing place.

There are so many good restaurants to visit in Oia that during our week stay we did not even find time to get round them all. However, our favourites were Melitini, which serves Greek tapas style food and is so reasonably priced it was fantastic, and Papagalos where we had the most scrumptious traditional Greek orange pie with ice cream for dessert.

As regards to the fact that a pool is a luxury at a cave house in Oia due to the limited space available and it would have been too warm for me to sit at the cave house all day without melting in the heat. There is a good local public pool called Lioyerma in Oia which you can use for only 7 Eur per person worth of food/drinks and this gets your 2 sunbeds, a parasol and also the use of changing facilities and a shower etc if needed. This was a great alternative to visiting the beach or walking down many steps to the sea for a swim.
