Lux family Villa with amazing views in a private location away from the hustle of tourists.
The property was wonderfully presented and exactly like the pictures on Bookings.com
The spa was a great luxury with amazing views.
Difficult to dry towels with limited drying options
Would have been nice to have a sitting area inside the villa.

Great stay, beautiful service from the staff and our host Elena was exceptional. It made our Oia experience wonderful.
Great location in Oia with beautiful stunning views.
The kitchen was quite small but that is probably the case in most of the villas in Oia.

Outstanding location in the centre but away from the crowds, first class hospitality!
Everything - paradise on earth - a bucket list must! Elena is an exceptional host and really went the extra mile to make our holiday perfect. She truly understands what holiday makers need and nothing was too much trouble. I honestly can't recommend this villa and its host highly enough, a genuinely first class holiday worth every penny. I would go back in a heart beat!

Magical hide away with incredible views, hot tub, and excellent service!
We loved that it was tucked away from the tourist-heavy stretch—the villa was located at a dead end and we didn’t see anyone else walk past during our stay. It had incredible uninterrupted views—lovely to sit in the hot tub looking out. It was nice to have access to a kitchen. We have three kids and put one on the single bed in back bedroom, other two kids on the two single beds in the living area (separate bathroom off the lounge), and my husband and I took the double with en-suite. Staff were all lovely to deal with and it was so nice to have assistance with carrying the bags to the property. We had a cheap and delicious lunch at Santo Souvlaki after check out and then a taxi collected us from there to take us to the airport. One of Callista Villa’s staff appeared from no where to assist with carrying and loading our bags into the taxi after our lunch. Amazing and seamless service! Highly recommend
Would love some sort of drying rack to hang up swim suits etc.

Loved this!
The view and hotel was amazing and the rooms were very spacious and well maintained! Very close to the sun set view points and blue domes. The staff was very helpful and even carried the bags for us which was challenging with two kids. I will definetly stay at this property again.

Could have been a great stay, but too noisy, not clean, poor staff training, and no management
Anastasia welcomed us warmly upon arrival — she personally handed us the keys and helped us with our luggage, which was really appreciated after a long trip. The apartment is also in a very good location, perfect for exploring the city and close to everything we needed.
Unfortunately, our stay was disrupted by several serious issues:
- There was loud construction work happening right next to the building, making it hard to rest or relax, especially with children.
- The kitchen had not been properly cleaned and didn’t feel hygienic.
- Some of our personal belongings were thrown away by the staff without our permission, which was extremely upsetting.
- In the middle of our stay, our reservation was unexpectedly marked as a “no-show,” creating confusion and unnecessary stress.
- We had no way to reach the villa management directly when these issues came up, which left us feeling unsupported.
- Communication was poor throughout, with no clear or timely information provided.
What started as a promising stay unfortunately turned into a stressful experience. I hope the host and property management improve on these points, especially for families staying in the future.

We would definitely stay at Calista villa again! We will share this fabulous villa with our friends and family.
Location was excellent. Near sunset point, restaurants and market. The most unique, and picturesque place we have ever stayed at. The most relaxing place, to take in the beautiful views. The kitchen being on the outside of the main sleeping quarters was a plus. There was no need to tackle the crew ship crowds during the day. Venturing out in the evening to shop and go for dinner was peaceful.

This was absolutely perfect, unique stay
The property was in the heart of oia, the most beautiful town in santorini, and it was like an oasis from the touristic part. It is very private.
Amazing experience of living in a “cave”
Style vila, everything was modern, clean and the person that was taking care of us, Anastasia, made our holidays even perfect by taking care of restaurants reservations and tours. We didn’t have to worry about anything, just enjoy all time. The vila is super nice. We traveled with our kids, who thought we were in a star wars movie. So unique this type of property
Everything was amazing!

Holiday memories to last a life time.
Incredible experience! I booked this holiday for my sister's birthday present as Santorini was her dream... Where to start explaining how amazing this place is?! Firstly we booked airport transfers directly through the accommodation. George met us at the airport and was absolutely lovely. We were then greeted by Zina who helped us amble down the winding streets to the villa (a colleague also carried our luggage). Upon arrival my sister burst in to tears at how incredible the villa looked and the view over the Caldera. Zina gave us a tour of the cave villa and pointed out all of the features including complimetary water, wine and fruit and then sat down with us and a map to recommend restaurants, places of interest and excursions - she added me on WhatsApp and sent all of the places we had discussed over a text. Every day we had a text from Zina to see how we were getting on and an offer to book restaurants and activities (highly recommended as places - particularly sunset spots - book up fast!) Special shout out to Roula, our housekeeper for the week. A wonderful kind and friendly woman who did an amazing job all week, despite the language barrier we had a lots of laughs and chit chat. Future guests, please tip her generously, she deserves it! We arranged through Zina's recs a visit to a Greek night in Akrotiri, filled with music, dancing and plate smashing which was amazing! George was our driver again and we enjoyed catching up with him. On the last night, Zina bought us cakes and biscuits which was a lovely touch. On the day we left, we took the last pictures of the Caldera and had selfies with Zina, she made our experience one that will last a lifetime so we had to! Everyone we encountered at Calista Villa was exceptional from the moment I booked and communicated with Charis, to the beautiful Zina, our drivers George and John, the lovely guys who attended our hot tub and carried our luggage. Nothing was too much trouble!
There is nothing not to love here. It was the most amazing experience.

The best place to stay in Oia
Callista Villa is the most amazing property we have ever stayed in. Zina met us at the meeting point, 2 helpers carried all of our suitcases down all the stairs to the property. Zina could not have been more helpful during our stay. She checked in with us every day, made reservations at local restaurants for us, booked our catamaran tour, even offered to drop off some medicine when one of us became unwell. My mother left her watch behind when we checked out, and Zina immediately went and found it and posted it back to us. Her service was amazing. The accomodation was more than we could have ever expected - the view is incredible. Thank you very much Zina.

Location is the incredible
Incredible view and privacy from patio and hot tub, but still very convenient to main pedestrian street. Wonderfully helpful and responsive host, Anastasia. She helped make our stay so easy!
Shower didn’t drain quickly. Can’t access kitchen without going outside to patio.

Our host Anastasia is extremely welcoming and caring. She is available anytime for questions and suggestions. There were many people who helped us with the luggage. The property is well maintained, clean and the view was fantastic. The hot tub was a bonus. Would love to come back here.
Maybe add more light inside the bathroom infront of the sink and add a dine table inside the room as well.

Wonderful appartment in Oia
This is a very nice cave appartment in Oia, with an amazing view on the Caldera. Everything clean, everything working perfectly. The jacuzzi is super.
Tall people should be careful as the door is quite low and the bed is just 2m.

Perfect property, so relaxing and beautiful, would stay here again.
The property was extremely beautiful and clean. It was in the perfect location, secluded/private with an amazing view. The jacuzzi was great to relax in, and we were within walking distance to many sights/shops/restaurants.
We enjoyed everything about this property.

amazing. The town has such amazing history! Please make sure you hike ancient Thera.
this property was beautiful, comfortable, and in the perfect location. It has two single beds in the main area and a TV. It has a bedroom with a single bed and a master bedroom with a queen bed and bathroom. The beds are very comfortable! Everything was perfectly clean! The staff will help you anytime you need. the hot tub has the best View of the caldera. You are just a few steps away from watching the sunset at the castle or watching the sunset from the windmills. If you are a tall person over 6 feet you will have to duck in a lot of the spaces. also the bedrooms have glass windows into the main living area. We just put a towel up for privacy bc my teenage boys were in the main area and I wanted to change in my bedroom. It really is the best location!
The master bathroom has a sink in the shower. Which seems awesome until you have socks on and want to brush your teeth and your feet get wet. lol.

Wonderful stay in Oia Sea Cave
Location is exceptional, in the very heart of Oia but in a quiet and private area.
Anastasia and Giannis were super hosts, taking care of our luggage, arranging our transfers and giving good advice for restaurants.
The view form the house and the jacuzzi is breathtaking.
The level of service is worth a 4-star hotel, do not hesitate to book!

Great views, great host, probably about right value for money
Fantastic views from the interior, hot tub and external dining area. Compared to other properties, plenty of privacy. For three people the interior was quite spacious and the 2 toilets / showers were a bonus. Cute kitchen attached to the cave, 3 steps from the buolding entrance with everything we needed. Decent AC and wifi so nothing to complain in that respect. we were permitted with an early check in and late check out (perhaps easier to provide due to low season) which was much appreciated and showed a good attitude from the owner. Host appeared very well informed and eager to please. even helped with printing airplane boarding tickets. There are quite a few steps to the property as with most in Oia so it might not be the best property if you have young children but with a double bedroom, a seperate single bedroom and 2 sofa beds it was perfect for us as a couple with a 14 year old.
Nothing. You get what you pay for with this property. We stayed in larger, more expensive properties during our trip and Oia Sea Cave was probably priced about right. No negatives, plenty of positives.

Anfitriã super atenciosa. Localização perfeita. Ofurô com hidromassagem e água quente. Vista espetacular.
Localização no fim da rua, o que diminui o transito de turistas e preserva sua privacidade.
Os gatos estão em grande quantidade na vizinhança. Nada que irá atrapalhar a estadia.
