Everything! The space, the views, the breakfast and wonderful host, John

We liked everything! Just to note that persons with difficulties taking stairs or walking uphill may need to consider other type of accomodation. Also the car parking spots are downhill nearby the village center. We had no problem finding a place at this time of the year (low season).

Beautiful Greek house with high level of attention to small details that make all the difference! Fully equipped small kitchen (each floor) with brand new cloths for dish washing, dish soap, complimentary coffee, tea. Shower gel, shampoo and a little beauty kit available in the bathroom. We loved the hot tub outside with warm water - saved our holiday in the chilly Spring weather! We warmly recommend this property to any traveller enjoying a traditional Greek village with narrow streets and typical houses with a modern touch plus great views. Warm thanks to our host John for great communication and all information to make our stay memorable.

Hot water system but then I got used to it. Just need to make sure keep 10mins gap between showers

Great host John who looks after our trip plan and accommodate late arrival. Lovely old village location with fantastic view and restaurants to eat around.

The jacuzzi/hot tub was not hot. It was cool/lukewarm, which was too cold to enjoy in the relatively chilly weather we had in April. Also the shower heads could only be placed at waist level, which made it a bit uncomfortable to shower, always having to hold the shower head in one hand. The door heights were exactly high enough for me to pass at my height of 164 cm (5’4”) but my husband at his 185 cm (6’1”) had to duck his head everywhere and a few times while distracted by the kids smashed his head in the doorways. Perhaps one could say the low doorways are part of the charm of being in a traditional cave house…

Overall we had a wonderful week in Santorini thanks in part to this charming property and its location in the quiet and picturesque village of Pyrgos. The view was spectacular and especially inspiring for me as an artist, allowing me to paint in plein air while inside the door/window. Our host was very helpful and responsive throughout our stay, arranging for cab rides sort of like an uber service 😊. Also we really appreciated his help lugging our three big suitcases between our airport taxi which he arranged, and the house which was about a 5-min walk uphill and up a few stairs, both late at night upon our arrival, and at 6 am when we were leaving. There were wonderful hikes starting right from our doorstep or within a short cab ride. Our kids loved the labyrinth of narrow paths and alley-ways in the top part of the village where this property is located. They also loved sleeping in a cave! There were 2-3 excellent cafes/restaurants in the village (not so in nearby bigger town of Kamari). There was a wonderful bakery with amazing fresh baked bread, croissants etc. and a separate sweeterie with outstanding desserts. There was also a mini-market with the basic necessities with kind owners/people at the cashier that gave us free candies with most purchases. Overall most people we interacted with in the village with were very sweet and kind which we really appreciated. And thus, despite the slight inconveniences mentioned below, all in all a wonderful vacation, making Santorini our favorite island of the 10 or so islands we have visited thus far.

There are a few steps to reach it but that is also part of the charm staying in a cave!

Spacious and clean and John was brilliant he helped us with all taxi arrangements. Location excellent with lovely places to eat around.

Only minor thing, bathrooms were a bit too small

Location, cleanliness, hospitality, value for money

The location felt a bit of a hike with our small kids aged 4 and 5 but the views are worth it

It’s a gorgeous place and John is an amazing host. Thank you.

The climb up initially was a task. But got used to it almost immediately. More than the climb i think it was the heat.

Superb host..John was amazing..really made us feel like guests.

Everything was perfect. Couldn't fault anything.

John our host was extremely helpful and arranged transport from the airport to our meeting point. He was always available to us and checked in every day to ensure all was ok and if we needed anything. Breakfast was delivered every morning and it was very nice and so convenient. Accommodation is very spacious and we really enjoyed our week there. Coffee pods are provided but if you are a coffee lover, you may need to bring extra. Pyrgos is a beautiful little village that reminds me of Greece in the 90s and a few of the local restaurants were superb. A newly one called Alchemia was top class and views from there and Rosemary at sunset were spectacular. Very enjoyable and relaxing week and the quad bikes were fun too. Thank you John for being a great Host.

The breakfast was delivered and it was not special. No butter, no jam, no fresh fruit. Till the scrambled eggs were delivered, they were cold. But we loved the freshly pressed orange juice 😋 The jacuzzi was not so clean. The outdoor furniture was not very comfortable.

We liked the traditional cave house. The view was sensational. There are some really good restaurants and bars nearby. We didn't cook in the tiny kitchen. Friendly people. The house was very clean.

The apartment was straight up many hills and stairs. It was easy to get lost in the little alleys going to and from the Main Street from our apartment.

The view was excellent! The location was good for us with the activities we had planned.

nothing…

Absolutely beautiful two floor/bedroom suite in the Villa. If you want to immerse yourself into Santorini, this is the place to stay. Gorgeous views and the host John was fabulous. Coordinated transportation from airport and breakfast was provided from local restaurant and dropped off at the front door. It was absolutely delicious. You get to choose from 5-6 options. highly recommend!

The steps leading to the apartment was a struggle with heavy luggage. However John the host was very helpful going up and down twice to help us. As it’s a cave apartment there was no doors at the shower and floor can be slippery. Ceiling of bathroom was low as well.

Beautiful views, quiet and peaceful. Cave like apartment which was special. Ample space and well equipped. There’s a lovely hot tub too.
