Very clean. Unique. Parking was a bit difficult. The stairs to the pool were a bit difficult. Property manager was wonderful, helpful and wet the extra mile. We were all very impressed

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely cave house style villa! The house was perfect for the 6 of us, the kitchen was simple, efficient, clean, and well equipped, and the bathrooms were modern, clean and easy to use! The house is located in Exo Gonia which is a nice, quiet area with beautiful views, high up near the midddle of the island. We walked to nearby Pyrgos for dinner but needed a driver or car to visit the rest of the island. We knew this and planned for it in advance. Our host Sarah was very helpful and arranged for a reliable pick up and drop off to and from the port. Kimi was sweet and friendly and met us at the house to check in and show us around.The seating areas on both levels were comfortable for all of us. The upper deck offered a wonderful clean, shallow pool that was perfect for cooling off on a hot day, and a breathtaking view of a blue domed church overlooking Exo Gonia and Kamari beach! The overall vibe of the house was truly a unique experience. The house is updated but built into the slope of the hill so it only has 2 windows but that allows it to stay naturally cool during the hot summer. AC is also available in the rooms if needed. The stairs to the upper level are steep, but a handrail is available so take your time and use caution. The climb is well worth the effort for the spectacular view at the top! An added bonus was the multiple adorable, friendly cats that stayed close to the property. Overall 10/10 experience! Thank you Sarah!

We loved our time at the Cavern House Helios.Sarah and Mark made our stay very simple and relaxed, from providing food (and beer & wine) for our arrival and allowing early check-in, to arranging for an airport pickup and car rental for the week we stayed.We loved the terrace pool and patio, and spent a lot of time in the beautiful Santorini weather, looking over the hills and ocean. Further inside the house, three bedrooms offer a very unique cave experience...you will really have no idea what time it is, as daylight doesnt reach to these rooms. The plunge pool was really handy for a morning dip, or to cool off in the mid-day, after touring the island.We did a fair bit of cooking ourselves, and the villa has everything you will need for that, from pans and knives to bbq and matches. I would highly recommend having a car or quad for the duration of your stay, as they are reasonably priced and a great way to see the island. Parking is a short walk from the villa.Thank you, Sarah and Mark, for a wonderful stay.Matt & Dawn,Canada
