    For the value of the payment and the fact that it had parking, it was worth it.

    There were not enough kitchen utensils and there was a damp smell.

    I liked the fact that there was parking for the car we rented. Since parking is a problem in Santorini, this property met our expectations in that regard. It was fresh, clean, spacious, quiet, and had a yard.

    To access the local town of Fira ,it is a 23 min up hill walk as public transportation is not available to this property Taxis are very expensive , eg a 7 min drive can cost 30 euros so a car/ scooter / quad rental would be best to access the island . There are no facilities to cook or heat up any food and food and drinks need to be ordered from a local bakery . Neighbours were very noisy, into 10 pm at night and traffic noises started from early in the morning as a motor bike repair shop is nearby .

    Very clean and comfortable property .An adventurous accommodation in that it Is a traditional ,authentic “cave” in the locality with good attention to detail and facilities Hostess was very helpful with any problems or queries . She also left a starter breakfast pack , homemade wine and a thoughtful gift which was much appreciated .

    Exceptional. A unique experience...

    Not a problem for me, but be advised that the road is a little narrow so care is required if you find opposite traffic. Doable to go to Fira on foot, but better only get here with a car rental or other means. No shops available around. The parking space is very limited for 2 cars, so you may need to park a little up the road.

    The room is exceptional. An original cave house, amazingly renovated, furnished with beautiful wooden retro furniture and decorated with original antique items (all reminding me the similar I used to see in my grandparents' house), it will offer a unique experience, a true immersion into the past*. Everything felt perfect to the eye and to the touch. Every detail is so well looked after (even the bin is a beautiful straw basket!). A beautiful artwork by the owner (who is apparently an artist). * Of course, while enjoying all the modern luxuries. The room is equipped with espresso coffee maker, a toaster, a small fridge with strong freezer, and TV with Netflix! The room is also very spacious, more than it looks in the photos (like, you-can-play-football type of spacious). King-size bed, king-size "sofa", large closet, amazing bathroom, enormous shower with rainfall shower head. My concerns before arriving, all negated: - lighting: the small single window was eventually fairly adequate, while the room is well-lit (except for the bathroom, which could use some extra light). - air quality: we had no issue and there is a dehumidifier available. - room temperature: very pleasant / not cold during our stay (end of April). Oh, and all this offered at a fairly low / reasonable price. It will certainly feel very satisfying getting a great value for money, when everything else on the island feels ridiculously overpriced. PS: Do not miss the opportunity for a short walk around to see this amazing (from a cultural perspective) settlement, consisting of a series of cave-structures in various conditions, from luxury renovations to uninhabited open caves.

    Charming Stay Near Fira with an Exceptional Host

    Location-wise, a car is recommended for the best experience. It’s only a five-minute drive from Fira. It’s also walkable, but you’ll need about 25 minutes and should be prepared for a hilly journey. There are no restaurants or shops nearby, so you’ll need to head to Fira for those. The neighbors were super friendly, but keep in mind it’s a narrow street, and parking can be a bit tight. Renting a smaller car is highly recommended. There’s no microwave or oven, but a fridge, kettle, and grill are provided, making light cooking possible.

    Charming and spacious “cave” apartment with beautiful interior design. Everything was spotless, and the amenities included thoughtful extras like coffee, a hair dryer, a smart TV, and even a speaker. Self-check-in was simple, and although the place technically doesn’t have an address on Google, it was easy to find. Just a few minutes from the airport, with convenient parking right outside the door. The host was absolutely amazing ❤️✨—made us feel incredibly welcome and was always ready to assist to enhance our stay. I could go on and on about this place, but I’ll leave it at this: HIGHLY recommended! ⭐️

    Everything was wonderful and extraordinary. We felt very comfortable in the apartment and the communication with the landlords was at a high level. I definitely recommend this apartment.

    In general, I liked everything. The cave is very cool👌 There were certain nuances, but the owners quickly resolved them. The owners are very kind, they gave us a souvenir when we left.

    If you don't have transport it's a bit of an uphill walk to Thira. (Local car hire, however is quite cheap).....

    Very interesting & individual accommodation, also very reasonably priced - highly recommended.

    You definitely need a car or transport as the location is a bit too far if not and it is up a hill to get into Fira, although it isn’t too far a walk.

    It was very cute and well presented. The owners were fantastic and couldn’t be more helpful.
