About this house rental

A traditional cave house with 2 bedrooms in the traditional village of Vothonas. The village is situated in the centre of the island about 3 klm from the nearest beach, 2 klm from the airport / 8 klm from the port and 4 klm from the capital of the Island, Fira Town. Minimal decoration with traditional touches, it has a fully equipped kitchen with fridge, washing machine, dish washer, oven, microwave, coffee maker, toaster etc. It has 1 bathroom, a living room with a sofa and a built-in seating area and a dining table. There is the choice of the sofa or an extra single bed for the 5th person that can be place either in the master bedroom or in the living room. It is also equipped with hairdryer, iron and iron board, tv with dvd player. It has a veranda with table and chairs and a small private terrace with village view. Nearest public parking area is 80 meters away. Access to the house is only on foot as you need to walk through the narrow streets of the village. Cave houses are characterized by their ability to preserve a stable interior temperature throughout the year (bio-climatic).
The property is ideal for relaxed holidays for serenity-seekers and peaceful memorable moments, in one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world. It combines the unique quietness of an isolated Greek village, only a few minutes drive from the buzz of the well-known Santorinian towns, full of life and energy.
Either you are planning a family holiday or an escape-trip for two or even a get-away with good friends, the all-time classic cave house combining the comforts of a modern apartment, will definitely make your holidays unforgettable.
Since it is up in the village, a private transport mean is necessary, either a vehicle or a motorcycle.
In less than 10-minute walking, you may find one of Santorini's famous steak house restaurant 'KRITIKOS' and the Koutsogiannopoulos winery in another 5-minute walk.
A ten-minute drive will take you either to a family-oriented beach 'Monolithos' or driving to the opposite side the famous 'Kamari' beach with black sand and many restaurants, beach front bars and tourist shops.

We appreciate all kinds of feedback but please try to make it during your stay so I have a chance to make up for it if necessary.

If you want a taste of real Greek living, this place is for you. Nothing fancy, yet it has everything you need. The owners are quick to respond & are as sweet as ever! The beds are comfortable & I slept like a baby in the cave. The house was very accommodating tucked away from the hustle & bustle. Maria, Emma & Banos were fabulous! We couldnt have had better homeowners! They gave us history of the land & the house & made us feel like family.The walk up to the house is steep. I'm 63 with a bad knee & I was fine.Overall, I highly recommend this charming cave.

Thank you Ms. Alexandra for being a great host! I cannot thank you enough for arranging our transportation to and from the port, scheduling our rental, providing all details for the activities around Santorini and helping us communicate with the professional photography company. Our 3rd year anniversary celebration was flawless because of you. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your gorgeous comfortable home that had so much more and everything we needed. For other guess: our stayed was (22-24 September) were tourism was at a lower peak. July/August/1st half of September is super crowded and cannot imagine driving a car during the peak of tourism season. This is an amazing cave house tucked away in a quiet village away from busy streets and tourist crowds. I used one of the two bedrooms but the cave house will easily accommodate two couples with two teenagers. There’s plenty of room for everyone and the pictures do not do justice to this beautiful comfortable home. Living room, Kitchen, fridge and bathroom were immaculate and Super clean. Outdoor patio was cozy, comfortable and private. Santorini streets are narrow and while getting a car is convenient an ATV was the safest perfect solution for the crowded busy streets where parking was quite difficult. With an ATV the cave house is 5 minutes away to the Caldera’s sunset parking spot, 5 - 10 minutes away from mini markets, 18 minutes away to Santo Winery, 25 - 30 minutes to Fira and 40 -45 minutes to Oia. We enjoyed the ATV rides around the island, how close we could park to our final destinations and filling up the gas tank with 8 euros in 3 days of riding everywhere. The ATV had a storage box to accommodate some of my shopping items so a backpack was a great addition. If you stay in this cave gem you will need some sort of transportation to get around. If you bring large suitcases be mindful that you will have a 40 - 50 meters walk uphill and stairs, but worth it. Everyone talks about the sunsets in Santorini but the sunrise in this gem private terrace was stunning and romantic! If you like privacy, peace and quiet after a busy day shopping and walking in crowded Fira and Oia then this cave is perfect! for you!

Simply Incredible !!! Having spent 6 wonderful days in Alexandra & Emmy’s beautiful Cave house, no one should look any further for accommodations in Santorini. This home is perfect. Ideally located in the centre of the island in the village of Vothonas, it is very easy to explore the whole island from here. Everything was perfect from the very first moment with exceptional hospitality from these gracious hosts. Having arrived in the evening, the full sized kitchen was stocked with some groceries for breakfast and a bottle of wine so we could just kick back immediately. During our stay, they were always reachable and helpful with any questions we had, as well as giving us outstanding recommendations for restaurants and must see sights on the island. One our last day, the ladies prepared a lovely home cooked meal for all of us to share, as we had a very long travel day ahead of us. Having thought of absolutely everything to make our stay in Santorini just perfect, we can not thank these incredible hosts enough !!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. We very much look forward to coming back, sooner rather than later. Cheers to our new friends !
