  : We stayed here during our first visit to Santorini in 2018 and absolutely loved it, therefore we were very excited to experience the property once again one of the highlights during our first stay was their breakfast, unfortunately it seems they changed their caterer as this time it was a complete let down to the point where we decided to skip it after our first day there and go to a near by restaurant for the remainder of our stay the appliances and some of the furniture were also old and needed to be update that being said, the property is still very pleasant and the views always make up for any other shortcomings!! looking forward to our next stay here and hope to see some updates/upgrades to this special property!

  : Beautiful location in Imerovigli (not as crowded as Oia and Fira), close to restaurants and small supermarkets.
  : Cave house is for 4 people but only has a small bar fridge, would really benefit from a larger fridge.

  : The property is beautiful and Elena the host was very responsive and communicative. She scheduled a massage for us at our request which was wonderful. The views from the unit are beautiful. The unit is also close to a number of excellent restaurants and the walk to Fira was very fun.
  : The only thing we wish we would've known was that there are two units one has a hot tub and one has a "heated plunge pool," and pictures of both units are on both listing so it's a little confusing. The unit we ended up with had a heated plunge pool at around 32.5 degrees. This was a little chilly to enjoy unless there is full sun on the terrace and it was fairly chilly at night so a hot tub would've come in handy. I wish I had noticed this...as. I would've booked the unit with the hot tub. We still had a wonderful stay but just be aware when booking if you really want a hot tub, book the one with the hot tub...

Fair

  : The plunge Pool. Cooking facilities
  : When we arrived we learned that the AC unit had been burnt and since there is no ventilation it was extremely difficult to sleep without an AC. We have a 2 year old who was very uncomfortable and because of this none of us hardly slept. To be fair the hostess did offer us a full refund if we decided on another property and also contacted a sister property if we wanted to shift there but being very last minute it was difficult as we had planned our child's birthday here. Also, the view we were expecting was a sunset view, as that what the pictures suggested but it seems there are 2 or 3 different villas and you don't know which one you will get. A bit misleading for us. The breakfast was below average, served cold in cardboard boxes, very limited choices and most of them egg based dishes, and we would have appreciated little gestures like extra Coffee pods or a bottle of water. But most of all, we did not like the location. Fira and Oia were far better in terms of liveliness , choice of Restaurants and Shopping. Not to mention much better views. Overall for more than 350 EUR per night, this was absolutely not worth it.
