    Location is a 10 minute walk from everything, near shops (uphill) and the exquisite restaurants (downhill). Outside view is spectacular and the sunset out of this world, no need of reservation elsewhere. Breakfast was ok. Keep in mind jacuzzi with a view, shares entrance with your neighbors, which translates to a less intimate experience if you are outside of your room. We had a great stay and would definitely consider to come back. Thank you John for your assistance!

    Its a bit downhill so you would require to walk a bit high to visit the blue dome area however the walk is not long so not a big issue. The view from the room is so mesmerising that I won't mind walking that bit 😊

    everything was very good. the pool for the room we were in was quiet and private. it was a comfortable stay and the sunset view is totally worthy.. there is a tiny kitchen fully equipped, so we didnt need to buy expensive dinner from outside. we coocked by ourselve and enjoyed the sunset dinner from the room.

    The view from the cave house was fantastic. A nice short walk to the Main Street of Oia.

    We did not like that the shower did not have an overhead option. It’s possible we missed that in the description of the accommodations.

    We loved the sunset views outside of the room and how helpful our host, John, was.

    Great position with stunning views , not over looked by lots of people as a lot of accommodation can be. Large terrace with 2 sun loungers and built in sofa seating , there is also a table with chairs. The hot tub is very private as covered and a great place to relax and chill.

    Nothing to dislike. Just its not a hotel where you get all services. But looking at the homestays option in santorini , this homestay is perfect with nice breakfast plus you get to have your private area for sunset watching instead of finding a good spot in the crowd.

    Location and perfect sunset

    Hot tub didn’t run for more than 1-2 minutes at a time. Not really an issue because the warm weather makes the warm water unnecessary.

    Great location and view. Amenities were excellent and the host (John) awesome. Far enough out to avoid the tourist crowds but close enough to be right there. I suspect would be more crowded in high season.
