PERFECT LOCATION FOR YOUR HOLIDAY!

The cave house is in the heart of Oia. Very close to the center and away from all the hustle and bustle of the main street. The rooftop and outdoor garden are very peaceful and beautiful.

The location of “ TRADITIONAL Cave” is suitable for our guests to reach the main places of interest of Oia in a minute! Oia, this beautiful village, carved into the ash of the volcano more than 1,500 years ago, will receive you in one of its original, traditional cave houses, the cave house. People here dug their houses underground or into the cliffs to be protected from the wind, the cold, the summer sun and especially the earthquakes! This kind of architecture makes the village a unique place on the planet! The house, because of its singularity, has to be preserved exactly as it was originally!
In case you are more than 2 persons there is also the Sunset Studio (for 2 people) and the Sunset Apartment (for 3 people) just next door. Sunset Studio is a beautiful cave house with a double bed and a sitting area in the living room, a kitchenette, an indoor hot tub and a bathroom with shower! Sunset Apartment consists of one bedroom with traditional style double bed, a living room with a sofa bed, a bathroom and an indoor jacuzzi.

PERFECT FOR YOUR FAMILY OR GROUP OF FRIENDS!

The cave house is recommended for a couple. If you want to get away to relax, write and just enjoy the life of Santorini without feeling like a tourist, this house is ideal. It has Wi Fi and AC - although rarely needed as the house gets a nice breeze if you leave the windows open.

The house is 20 meters from shops, restaurants and 2 minutes walking distance from market, galleries, bus and taxi terminal.

There is a free parking place 3 minutes walking distance from the house near the KEP (Citizen Service Center) and the POST Office of Oia.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay in the traditional cave house. We stayed there for two weeks. It is ideally located along a quiet walking path and yet it is just a block away from the busy Oia centre. It is just a few minutes walk to taxi, bus or rental car if you want to explore the rest of the island. The unit has a small kitchen, perfect for making breakfast or lunch. Supplies for breakfast were included. The bathroom has a nice walk-in shower. There is a rooftop patio that is a great place to relax after a long day of sight seeing. It has lots of seating and is decorated with lots of plants. Very pretty. There is an additional sunset viewing deck about a block away and it is this feature that really made the entire stay very special. It was so fantastic to have this semi private deck (shared with other Santorini paradise guests) away from the crowds, best seat in town to watch the sunset with wine and snacks supplied by our host. We even brought take-away dinner there a couple of times. Our host, Maria, was very attentive and always made sure that we had everything we needed, including transfers to/from the airport.

Property was very nice. Only downside, there was no place to put clothes. We lived out of a suitcase. That was a frustration.

Location, location, location! This cave house is located around the corner deom the Oia windmills. The common areas are awesome and there is a private patio not far to view the amazing sunsets. Our host and her assistant, Pietro, are wonderful. The cave house was perfect.
