Genuin feedback
Nice view, clean and very helpful staffs
Location is a bit not ideal, facing away from the sunset and getting cold in the afternoon. Too many steep steps to get to the terrace which is lack of privacy from the nearby tourists and cushions are wet unsuitable for sun-bathing

Beautiful villa with attentive staff
Location was great, right in town with magnificent 180degree views. Each bedroom had its own private space
The balcony space is on the small side on the main level.

The most memorable stay!
Our host Artemis was extremely accomodating, kind, and helpful. Ervin helped us with our luggage and was super nice too! The villa offered breathtaking views of Santorini and the villa itself was clean, spacious and beautiful. Breakfast was amazing. We really had the best time, huge thanks to Artemis and the villa staff.

Artemis and her cave houses have our highest recommendation.
It was a unique and positive experience staying at Aqua & Terra Traditional Cave Houses. Our host, Artemis, was extremely pleasant and accommodating. The property is centrally situated in Oia, a short walk from the famous domed churches, excellent restaurants, and superb boutiques. With a breathtaking panoramic view of the caldera, we couldn’t ask for more. We celebrated my wife’s birthday and had a wonderful stay. Artemis and her cave houses have our highest recommendation.

A once in a lifetime experience - staying in an exceptionally great Santorini cave house!
The Aqua & Terra Traditional Cave House was perfect for our family of three. We stayed in the 2-bedroom with a loft and the accommodations were absolutely cool and amazing. It was extremely well-appointed with the comfy beds, fabulous Air Conditioning, cool artwork and decor and the location was the best! The views were stunning. The plunge pool was used every evening to relax from the day's activities. The host and her staff were incredibly communicative and we felt well taken care of. The breakfast was so delicious and the fact that it was delivered to our door every morning made us feel so special. Santorini by itself is a dreamy place - so beautiful and the people so welcoming...but to top all of that with the best location in the heart of Oai ( just steps from restaurants, shops and astounding views of the sea and caldera) in a cool cave house was the cherry on top! Thank you Artemis and your staff. It was a vacation dream come true!
Our stay could have been longer. :)

A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Oia!
A Hidden Gem in the Heart of Santorini
From the moment we arrived, we knew this stay would be unforgettable. The location alone was magical — just a few steps beneath the iconic three blue domes, with jaw-dropping caldera views that seemed to change color with every passing hour. While we didn’t have direct sunset views, the beauty of the caldera more than made up for it, especially when admired from the private plunge pool or the charming outdoor dining area.
The villa itself was incredibly spacious — it honestly felt like it could host 5 people comfortably. With two bedrooms, a cozy hall, a small kitchen, two expansive balconies, and that refreshing plunge pool, there was more than enough space to relax and take in the surroundings. The balconies alone could fit a dozen people with ease, making it perfect for gatherings or simply soaking up the Santorini atmosphere.
The food was another highlight. Breakfast was served right to our room each morning, with a menu to choose from. As vegetarians, we were delighted when the staff went out of their way to prepare special vegetarian options for us — everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented.
And then, there was the service — truly above and beyond. The lovely Arthemis greeted us right where our cab dropped us off, arranged for a porter to carry our luggage, and was in constant contact before and during our stay via WhatsApp. She anticipated our needs, checked in daily, and made sure every request was met with warmth and efficiency.
In the end, our entire Santorini experience was elevated because of this hotel. It’s not just a place to stay — it’s a place to feel cared for, spoiled, and immersed in the magic of the island. This is a rare find, a true gem, and I cannot recommend it highly enough. You have to be here to truly understand its charm.

Excellent. Convenient. Accommodating.
My friends and I stayed in this very nice place. Artemis, the owner, was so kind and personally received us, explaining thoroughly the amenities and all services. Since it was my birthday month, she was so kind to prepare a delicious cake and a bottle of wine. Where else can you find this kind of hospitality? She has also provided tips and guidance on how to utilize our time in Oia, Santorini as well as recommended some affordable yet delicious food and restaurants.
When it comes to transportation, she has offered an affordable pick up from the port as well as airport transfer. Ervin, her staff, was also so kind to help us with our luggage.
OMG, the view of this place, facing the Caldera, was beyond imagination. My friends and I have taken hundreds of pictures and videos. You can check out my TikTok account: ryantorres2021 to see those.
I have travelled to different countries and stayed in different accommodations, but our experience when it comes to hospitality, genuine care, and convenience, was beyond exemplary.
Definitely recommended!

A Magical Stay at Aqua Terra
Our stay at Aqua Terra was beyond amazing! The location offers the most breathtaking views in all of Santorini—truly picture-perfect. Artemis is the most gracious and welcoming host we’ve ever met. From the moment we arrived, she went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Her warmth and hospitality made our trip feel incredibly special. We are so happy we chose Aqua Terra—it was the highlight of our time in Santorini. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a magical and memorable experience!

Most amazing stay I’ve ever had in my travels on five continents.
Wow. Don’t miss an opportunity to stay here. One of the most fun stays we have ever had. The cave home has this amazing view (also for the hot tub). It is super tastefully decorated and the host is amazingly helpful for arrival and great recommendations for places to get amazing meals.
Don’t stay here if you can’t walk down several flights of stairs. Don’t worry - the porter will carry your luggage! It isn’t for everyone because of stairs, but if you can do some steps to get down to this cliffside premium cave, it’s well worth doing not that many steps.

Excellent Stay in Santorini
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Acqua terra. The views were magnificent at all times of day and night. It was lovely to spend time in the hot tub relaxing after a day of exploring the island. The proximity to a great restaurant was an added plus. We did not cook but the kitchenette was stocked and had we had a longer stay we could have cooked some meals there. Artemisa was so helpful, when we arrived she greeted us and guided us on activities to do on the Island. She was responsive with our questions.
She offered a number of great choices for breakfast. We would definitely stay here again.

A Splurge, but the host made the stay tbe very best.
The location in Oia was great.
As an old city with many tourists parking a (necessary) hire car was challenging. Not the fault of the property but an annoyance nevertheless.

The location could not have been more perfect. You are close to the bus station, mini market, main square, sunset locations, and are not too far a walk down from the top. The view is also spectacular! If you’re looking for a photographic place to stay…this is it. George and Artemis were wonderful. Very attentive and helpful with anything we needed including booking our sunset cruise. We couldn’t fault anything. We were a party of 4 (2 couples - my husband and I, and my parents) and the accommodation allowed us to have shared facilities from one room (in my which my parents stayed) and we had a separate, lockable bedroom with ensuite facilities.
The only thing we came across was that we would run out of hot water in our room when my parents were using the shower in their room. Not a huge issue once we managed that better. The weather was still hot in September too.

Aqua Terra surpassed our expectations. We had a magical stay!
The breakfast was huge, delicious, and was delivered to our room. There was enough bread left over for us to have for a later meal.
Artemis is totally amazing! She helped me every step of the way. She helped me with reservations at Aqua Terra and also booked transport to/from the lodging. She set up the airport pickup and drop-offs. She set up an excursion for us and helped us when we needed to make changes. The cave rooms are such a great experience! It was so neat to be in the bedroom deep into the cave where it was dark and quiet. I don't think I'd want to stay anyplace other than in a cave dwelling. The views from our place were fabulous--gorgeous sea views, islands, white buildings, and blue-topped churches. We walked to a nearby pastry shop every night for dessert. The location of the lodging was exceptional; we were close to everything. It was easy to get picked up for excursions, and we took the bus one day. Artemis met us as we arrived from the airport. She walked the short distance to the drop-off place to welcome us and then walked us to our dwelling where she explained accommodation details. She made recommendations for restaurants in Oia and Fira. I can't imagine having a more gracious, enthusiastic host. I have already recommended Aqua Terra to my friends. We feel so very fortunate to have found such a gem of a location!
Nothing! We can't imagine finding a better place to stay. We are so thankful we chose to stay at Aqua Terra on the island of Santorini. We stayed for 5 nights and would have enjoyed more!

Beautiful views and comfy apartment!
The location was amazing! Beautiful views and a great terrace from which to enjoy them. We also enjoyed the pool in the morning. Plus just a few steps up from the apartment was the main road in Oia, so it was a great base for exploring the city! The apartment itself was very comfortable, and there was a window looking out onto the caldera from the bedroom.
The pool was not very warm—it was listed as a heated pool, but the temperature felt to be about 85 F/29 C, even at the max heating. It was great during the day, but too cold in the evening.

Absolutely perfect!
The location is absolutely perfect, while you are close to everything you also felt like you had your own private little oasis. The property was very clean and comfortable but stand out feature is the owner/staff. You’re not going to find anybody who is more helpful or knowledgeable than Artemis. She was always quick to respond, had great suggestions, arranged excellent activities and was very warm and welcoming. Everyone we interacted with at Aqua Terra was so helpful and kind. There are many beautiful properties in Santorini but I think it would be hard to find people who are more willing to go the extra mile to make sure that you stay is perfect than this group.
There was nothing that we didn’t like.
