Reviews of Caval I

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.

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

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 .

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 .

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

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.

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.

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.

Very cute cave style room in fira. Host was awesome and helped us every way possible. She went above and beyond in giving us a warm welcome. Loved the place :)

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! ⭐️

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.

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.

The property is a great feature place with a unique cave like interior

It was a bit of a trek to get to but worth it.

Loved how close it was to Fira and Oia, without being in a crowded area. Very close to some beaches too.

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

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