GREAT STAY !!

Wow! This place exceeded our expectations! The place was spotless. We knew it was going to be great but didn’t anticipate how much we’d love it here, we didn’t want to leave! Already planning a trip to come back next year and stay longer. Rodoula was so helpful with everything we needed, include arrange transport and was quick to get back to us, with literately minutes. .Highly recommend stay here and doing day trips to the other areas of the island.

A slice of Heaven in Santorini

This property is a lovely traditional cave house in Karterados. It’s a short walk to a bus stop and an exquisite bakery, probably the one I loved the most in Greece. It’s a very accessible walk to Fira as well and an oasis of peace after a fulfilling day of excitement. The property manager provided excellent communication and advice. Too many superlatives about the property - our 2 favorites were having outdoor meals and the jacuzzi. We’d absolutely love to return here in the future. Thank you, Rodamanthi !!!

AMAZING HOUSE

Super host, extra house ! The House is bigger than expected, and is really beautiful. The terrace and pool are well exposed to the sun the all day ! The location of the house is as well perfect, very calm and really near to Fira (5min by car). Rodoula is a really nice host, we had informations printed with all the activities to do on the Island and super adresses to eat, get a drink, a tan and even a party ! Thank you very much for the stay !! If you’re interested into this house, don’t hesitate, it was all perfect !

Séjour agréable mais un peu décevant

La villa est telle que décrite mais nous avons relevé 3 points décevants Les équipements de la cuisine sont très limités La température du spa tellement basse que cela le rend inutilisable après notamment des journées de marche intensives La difficulté de se garer

Cat parkour

The location is good and you can walk into Fira which we did regularly. The home is clean and the cold jacuzzi is great addition. The host is really helpful. The only negative if I can think of is if you hire a car be careful where you park as the local residents can get a bit precious about parking spots. Sitting in the yard watching the neighbouring cats jump over balconies was great entertainment.

Great house, wonderful host, close to Fira

A wonderful cave house just outside of Fira. Easy to get around and close to the bus station and supermarket. The house is cleaned daily, quiet being outside of the city (except for dogs barking), and a good central location on the island. If you stay here you should check out Erotokios bakery, Katerina's, Karvounaki in Fira, and the food tour with Aristotle (look on AirBNB). We were also able to get an ATV brought right to the house by Santorini moto rentals. We mentioned the hotel next door, Aldea, as a reference point and in a half hour we had an ATV and were on our way. You do need to have an international license. I would stay here again for sure! For more photos check out her Airbnb page. We dumped all of our stuff put pretty quickly and I decided against photos with all of our junk in it!

Nice place to try the cave house experience

Great New cave house renovation. Fantastic owner who assists you in any way necessary. Best feature is 2 “real” full baths, each with its own walk-in shower. About a 15 to 20 minute walk to Fira.

About the host

Host profile image
I live in Athens (most of the time) or at Santorini island (my origins).
I love to travel around the world, meet new people and places. As I am a traveler myself, I think, I can understand the needs of other travelers as well!

I' ll do the hosting with gnomon what I look for while travelling.
