Cave Suite Oia

We recently stayed at The Cave in Oia, Santorini, and it was an unforgettable experience. The location couldn’t be better — the suite sits right between two of the famous blue domes, making it one of the most scenic and photogenic places to stay. Having that backdrop right outside our door felt like living inside a postcard. The suite itself was beautifully designed, carved into the cliffside cave for an authentic yet luxurious feel. It was spacious enough for myself, my wife, and our three children, which can be rare in Oia. The mix of comfort and tradition made it truly unique. That said, there are areas for improvement. The bathroom has no real door separating it from the main room, and the lighting is wired so that turning on the mirror lights also turns on the bedroom lights — making it hard for one person to get ready without disturbing others. At this price point, a proper door or adjusted switches would make a big difference. Another issue was the “private area” rope meant to keep tourists out. Despite closing it as instructed, we were twice confronted by professional photographers who claimed they had the right to enter. It would help if management clarified rules to both guests and locals. Also, while the many candles in the bathroom are a nice touch, no lighter was provided. Overall, despite these inconveniences, this was a magical stay. The setting is unbeatable, the views unforgettable, and with a few small adjustments, The Cave could be flawless.

Everything was great here as described in the details. The only thing that bugged me was when tourists were blocking the entrance to the hotel. Besides that, I would definitely come back. Thank you to Anastasia for her help and responsiveness. It wouldn’t have been the same without her helping along the way.

This was the 1st hotel/villa we stayed in of 2 different ones in Santorini. We loved everything about this villa. It is very spacious and has the very best view of Santorini!!! Some minor feedback- It could use more lighting in the restroom area, since it’s a cave, it was kind of dark. Also the jetted outdoor jacuzzi could be more hotter in temperature and longer in duration of the jets instead of automatic shut off every 5 minutes. We will only stay at this villa from now on! Best kept secret villa in the whole town!

The property has unrivaled views and is incredibly cool. However, I would not recommend this property to those with mobility challenges as there is a very challenging set of steps that is very slippery to get to the property. I wish the steps out of the hot tub has some non-slip tread on them, but this is a drool-worthy place to stay. I'd recommend to those who are young and in great shape. Sabi was incredibly helpful with the luggage, and the property was very helpful in arranging transfers. Definitely a 5 star property but not accessible for those who have mobility issues.
