This special home in the village of Finikia just outside of Oia is very unique. Built in 1876 it is authentically built as a cave house. The house itself is laid out spaciously. The beds, linens, pillows were comfortable. Out of the 3 showers only one had an overhead shower so you could get underneath to wash hair. The other 2 showers are handheld only. All rooms open up to the outdoor deck so there is lots of light. The outdoor hot tub, although only lukewarm, was a nice amenity.
Value for the price/night is good, however, it would be nice to have a few items upon arrival - bottle of water, juice, maybe a bottle of wine, spices for cooking (although kitchen did come equipped with salt, pepper, olive oil, ground coffee & 5 filters).
The walk from the parking area to the house is at times steep and uneven. Thank goodness they sent a capable young man to porter our luggage. It is a cobblestone walkway for pedestrians & donkeys. If you are a fit walker you should have no trouble with this walk, but it can prove challenging for others. The location is a 15 - 25 minute walk to Oia & is close to many shops & restaurants. Closest & very nice for breakfast is Mis Amis.
