Our family of four (2 adults, 2 teenage sons) enjoyed staying at Cactus Hideaway. It is a peaceful, clean, cool home with a fantastic ocean-facing patio. A few things to note: Anna is super-friendly and will make lots of good recommendations. There are plenty of local maps and guides available in the unit. The beds are quite firm and there are no doors on the sleeping rooms. (Upstairs room is loft-style, basement room is at the bottom of the steps.) Getting to the unit is easy, but it’s best to make a left turn into the dirt road as the turn-off from the main road is narrow and rocky, and not easy to navigate with a right turn. As with all other Santorini locations, it is not advisable to drink the tap water (bottled water is abundant and price-controlled) and no paper (not even toilet paper) can be flushed down the toilet. The ocean is only a short walk from the house, but it is not a swimming beach; you’ll need to jump in a car to reach the swimming beaches. The small hotel across the street let us swim in their pool when we ate lunch there.
All in all, we loved our stay and highly recommend the house if you’re looking for a peaceful place to stay during your Santorini visit!
