My husband and I stayed in Maria’s suite for two nights. The cave house was minimalist but clean and cool even under the July Santorini sun. Maria left us water, coffee and cookies for breakfast. The location was perfect - Finikia is a 15 minute walk to Oia, but far from the hoards of tourists. There are also two very good restaurants, Meze Meze and Lefkes, within a literal stone’s throw of the property.
Maria was the perfect host. We didn’t arrive until after midnight because our flight was delayed and then our crazy taxi driver insisted on waiting another 20mins to pick up more tourists before leaving. She waited to greet us and offer tips on the island. She was quick to respond to questions and even arranged a catamaran tour for us. If you’re planning a trip to Santorini, I highly recommend Maria’s place.
