SECLUDED HIDEAWAY IN THE HEART OF OIA!

enjoy your cave 'APARTMENT' !

The romantic rooftop terrace and the interior yard, full of flowers, are shared with Apartment's, Studio's and Cave' s guests; the entrance to the cave houses is through the yard. There is no view from the house however it's perfect to sit on the terrace with a book or a glass of wine enjoying St Dimitrios view!

PERFECT LOCATION FOR YOUR HOLIDAY!

The house is in the heart of old Oia. Very close to the center and away from all the hustle and bustle of the main street.The rooftop and outdoor garden are very peaceful and beautiful.

The location of the “APARTMENT” is suitable for our guests to reach Oia's main places of interest in a minute! Oia, this beautiful village, carved into the ash of the volcano more than 1,500 years ago, will receive you in one of its original, traditional cave houses.
People here dug their houses underground or into the cliffs to be protected from the wind, the cold, the summer sun and especially the earthquakes! This kind of architecture makes the village a unique place on the planet! The house, because of its singularity, has to be preserved exactly as it was originally!
In case you are more than 3 people and you need more bedrooms and bathrooms, there are also the Studio and the Cave, two beautiful cave houses with queen beds, kitchenettes, private hot tubs! They are just next door.

PERFECT FOR A COUPLE, A SMALL FAMILY or GROUP OF FRIENDS!

If you want to get away to relax, write and just enjoy the life of Santorini without feeling like a tourist, this cave APARTMENT is ideal. It has Wi Fi and A.C., although rarely needed as the house gets a nice breeze if you leave the windows open.

The house is 20 meters from shops, restaurants and 1-2 minutes walking distance from market, galleries and bus and 5 minutes from bus terminal. It is located in the old city of Oia near the Castle which is the famous 'Sunset Point' of Greece!

Great sunset view

This was our first time in Santorini. We wanted to stay in Oia because we had heard of it’s famous sunsets and it did not disappoint. Maria and her staff were exceptional. She arranged our airport pickup, who coordinated the check-in with María and her staff. Mohammed and Islam picked us up from the drop off location and took our luggage down to the home. Showed us the proper and all amenities. The property was tucked in, but had a terrace with a great view to the sunset. Did not have to deal with the crowds or restaurants to be able to see the sunset. Wine and light snacks were provided to enjoy the sunset. There was a small kitchen area with light breakfast items provided. Daily housekeeping was offered. Very clean. Maria and her staff were available when needed and were very accommodating with any requests we had. Maria was also very helpful in answering questions, making recommendations and assisting with reservations. Staying at this property was a main factor in the success of our trip. Highly recommend it!

Oia Paradise

Stayed at the property for 5 days in end of June - beginning of July. Maria is wonderful host. Very easy to communicate with and immediately responsive to help with all matters. This property was plenty roomy for my spouse and I (a bedroom plus a living/dining area and a kitchen), plus access to a deck for a very pleasant relaxation late afternoon/early evening. Maria and her team keep the premise very perfectly clean!! Location is perfect for both sunset viewing and easy access into all of Oia by foot. Maria's team is onsite every day to answer any questions. 5 stars for Maria as a host!!

Great Experience in Older Section of Oia, Santorini

From arrival, throughout our stay and during check out, Maria and her support team, Sunil & Ben, were always available and ready to go above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. Kudos and many thanks to all for making us feel welcome and part of the family. The Sunset Apartment is spacious and pleasantly combines a historic 19th century “Cave” structure with Maria’s creative design and personal touches. It is just far enough away from the busy tourist sections to offer privacy and evening peace and quiet. The elevated private patio is perfect for watching sunsets without the crowds that are in other areas. The only caution is that if you are over 5’-7” (1.7m) tall you must always remember to duck when going through any doorways.
