My girlfriend and I booked our stayed at the Rose Cave house at the last minute, and without really doing much research into it. Happily, we both thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it wholeheartedly.

The apartment is located in Pyrgos, the highest town on the island where you will receive commanding views of Santorini, equally spectacular during the day or at night. Upon arrival, I was initially a little worried we might be set apart from the ‘action’, as it were.
However, the apartment is perfectly located for those who are looking for a base from which to explore the island and without feeling the overbearing presence of too many tourists.

I think Pyrgos gives you a different perspective from staying in Thira, Oia or at the beach. The town is relatively quite during the day but has a really pleasant vibe at night with excellent restaurants and cafes which are more competitively priced than you will find elsewhere. We came to enjoy spending more time in Pyrgos as the holiday progressed - not only because we were staying there, but because we found it such a pleasant place to be.

The apartment itself was found as described; although rather than being on its own, it is one of four apartments that have a shared outside space (all but one of these were empty during our stay). It is spacious and comfortable and keeps a pleasant temperature. It was cleaned everyday when we went out.

Stefania and Yannis, the hosts, were friendly and keen to offer advice. We both found them to be extremely friendly and helpful.
