Property manager was super helpful and friendly and really nice. Gave us a lot of suggestions for food, activities and getting around. The place it self was big and in a prime location. Laundry in the place, and mini market and breakfast place at a few steps away overall a very chill and beautiful stay.

Great location everything at your doorstep. Hospitality was superb. Yannis met us at the post office( drop off site ) and brought our bags to the room and went over all our questions. He is a gem for guests. View view view. Happy to recommend this loft apartment

The best place I’ve ever stayed at. Spacious, clean, well stocked, and perfect location with the clear ocean view. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, full kitchen, living room, dining area, jacuzzi and patio. The location is perfect. One minutes walk to one of the photo spots in Oia. Restaurants, bars, and shops are near by but very quiet after 10pm. Yannis was very kind, professional and easy to reach. Loved every minute of the stay.

The Alafouzou Cave loft was the nicest property I stayed at in terms of combination of setting and room quality. The view from the decks is spectacular and you are literally a 30 second walk from the famed sunset strip. Yiannis was a "herculean" host able to carry our luggage through the maze of walkways to get to the hotel. I could easily have stayed there longer. Quite an amazing spot. It's a bit of a trek to the supermarket but that's the price to be paid for being in such a stunning location.

Wonderful view of the Caldera! Excellent location in the most beautiful part of Oia! Johnny was exceptional, he was kind enough to transport our luggage to/from the property (through narrow, winding paths). He even woke up at 4 AM to help us with our luggage the day we left. He was so thoughtful and considerate. He really cares about his customers and makes sure they have a wonderful stay. I was extremely impressed. He was also knowledgeable about the area and informed us about everything that was open during the off-season.

This property had the perfect location and beautiful views. The owner was very courteous and extremely helpful and our check in was very convenient. They also helped carry our luggage to the house. The cleanliness wasn’t very great but manageable. It was a lovely house and we enjoyed our stay!

This house in Oia is amazing. The location is perfect, 1 minute walk away from the best spot to see the sunset. The view from the terrace and from the hot tub of the caldera takes your breath away every time you look at it. Inside the house, it was plenty big enough for the five of us, beautifully decorated, cosy and clean. The maid came every day to change the towels. Finally, Yannis was the perfect host. He met us on arrival, carried all of our luggage from the car to the house, went out of his way to make us feel welcome and offered his help whenever we needed it. Santorini is a wonderful island to visit and if we ever decide to come back, we would definitely stay at this house again.

イア城へ続くメインストリートに面しているヴィラです。 部屋は道から少し奥まった場所にあるため、とても静かな環境が保たれています。 屋内は清潔に保たれていました。 キッチン、洗濯機があり、自炊と洗濯が可能でした。 ホストのヤニスの対応は良く、温水が出ない(給湯器のブレーカーが落ちていた)際もすぐに連絡が取れ、問題解決できました。 テラスからイア城、ブルードームを望む Alafouzou Cave Loft の滞在をお勧めします。

Cozy cave loft

This was a great place to stay in Santorini. Great location, amazing view, comfy beds. However we arrived to multiple problems including dirty/used sheets (basic of all basics), fuse problem, broken lamp that one of us got cut on, and a not fully functioning hot tub. However, when we let them know about these issues, the owner sent someone over with in minutes to fix things and had the maid come again too. It really was a great place but hard to look past those first experiences. We loved the view from the "deck", the washing machine (no dryer), and the fruit and toiletries left for us.

Konstantino was awesome. He set up a transfer to the airport, gave a little tour up front, arranged daily cleaning service to the villa, made himself available. I think, really, the perfect host. Villa was beautiful with an awesome view of the caldera and centrally located to restaurants, shopping, ATMs, markets. We had a great time!

Amazing service

The room that we stayed has 2 bedrooms for 4 people and they are very cute. I love the settings as the view was magnificent, and the decorations of the hotel. However, the kitchen and down stair bathroom could have a little facelift especially the area under the kitchen sink. One thing that I need to mention is the hotel staff are amazing! From booking to greeting to luggage porter (who came to help with our luggage at 4 am in the morning with a big smile), everyone went above and beyond to make sure you are well taken care of. I want to give a special thank to Mario who helped us with checking in process, arranged for the cruise tour for all 12 of us (although we only stayed 4 and the other 8 stayed right next door), and reserved the sunset dinner at Kastro with the best view ever! He is very responsive and accommodating. I wouldn't think twice about coming back to this place based on just the service alone.

Best place to stay in OÍa & all of Santorini!

A+++++ location, accommodations, and service! Do not pass up an opportunity to stay here! It is worth every penny and then some. Sofia took great care of us, this is a very large cave compared to many on this part of the island. The views from both decks are unbeatable. The hot tub on the deck was outstanding!

Magnificent view in a restored traditional house.

The cave is a traditional house that has been lovingly renovated to be a beautifully comfortable retreat right in the heart of Oia. The 'cave' has a unique feel that reinforces what a special island you are visiting. We spent most of our time on the houses entrance balcony with views over all the caldera. The location could not be beaten. The owner even helped with our bags as Oia is steep (all of Oia!). The kitchen is generously stocked with the basics. The hot tub with the caldera view was an unexpected bonus. We loved our time there and would recommend it to anyone for a treat right in the heart of this beautiful village.
