Fantastic stay, great property and excellent location with amazing views of santorini

Great stay in Exogonia, Sarah was very helpful and the property was very clean and decor lovely. Facilities were all I could ask for. The location is great with an amazing view towards Kamari and other islands. Our teenagers enjoyed the spaces and it was very comfortable. Parking was a minutes walk from the property near the amazing church. Very close to great restaurants and well places for exploring the whole island. Would definetly come back again!

Peaceful

Gorgeous cave house in a fairly quiet area. Had a great time here unwinding and enjoyed the local taverna Metaxi Mas. Excellent service and communication before and during stay. Do hire a car as it is the best way to get around. Fairly quiet for children but the time of year may have influenced that and pool was a bit too cold for us but in the summer/warmer months it must be amazing. All in all a really nice place to visit and lovely accommodation.

Perfect house with a splendid view for a relaxing stay

We loved the house, which was pleasant in the hot weather because of the location, the cave-like build, the terrace with pool and view and the patio to have breakfast or dinner. A warm welcome by Petros who also made sure the house was clean and we had the first necessities when we arrived late evening. Pleasant and quick communication with Sarah who gave great suggestions for activities and restaurants on the island of which we definitely tried some. A car is necessary to go to other towns, tour the island and do some shopping, but you can find almost everything within a 15 minutes drive. A great stay for families who seek a quiet accommodation to rest from a beach day, hike, shopping, island tour or going out!

Amazing location

We were travelling with my parents and our toddler so we needed a home that could give us some room and would allow us to easily come in and out during the day for nap purposes. This property was perfect. Located in the center of the island, we were able to do anything we wanted and still have enough time to be back for a nap for the toddler. The beds were fairly comfortable. I will say that you have to walk uphill a bit to get to the location from the parking (and renting a car is a must at this location). May not be suitable for some elderly or handicapped people.

Santorini vacation

We enjoyed our stay in this modern cave house. It’s good to experience how other people, cultures and countries live. It was very quiet and peaceful and we enjoyed the cats that roam around every where. Parking is about a five minute walk up and down a cobblestone path. Not an easy walk with large suitcases if one is out of shape or the elderly (which we are both.) Our health and leg muscles improved after our stay here. The only negative which the host had no control over were the power outages that occurred for energy savings during our stay. The manager of the property, Petros was very helpful and always responded to our questions very quickly. I would definitely recommend this location.

Not user friendly

Not suitable for families with small children or over 50’s. Access to the property was problematical due to the steepness of the hill and cobbled street. Size of the property was smaller than advertised. Did not expect 1 of the bathrooms to have outside access only. Seating in the living area was uncomfortable and not suitable for the amount of people the property claimed to accommodate. The bedrooms had no windows, in 1 bedroom the bed was so high a step had to be used to get onto it. The passage way to the other 2 rooms was slippery and due to its undulation, poor lighting and unexpected steps was incredibly dangerous. The steps up to the roof terrace were too steep and too shallow, slippery when wet and therefore a hazard making the roof terrace unusable for many guests.

Un séjour de rêve

La maison troglodyte est située dans un petit village calme dans les hauteurs de Santorin, idéalement situé pour visiter l’île. Tous les spots touristiques sont à moins de 20’ en voiture (nécessaire) ! Pour les lève-tôt, le lever de soleil sur la petite terrasse avec piscine est un spectacle dont on ne se lasse pas. L’accueil a été parfait et nos hôtes à l’écoute pendant tout le séjour via WhatsApp même si nous n’avons pas eu à les solliciter beaucoup. Je recommande !

Amazing property, well located, perfect for our needs

We stayed 11 nights at the property and loved it. We were 2 adults, 2 elderly adults and 2 children (8 and 10) and it was great for our needs. Exo Gonia is a quiet residential neighborhood with little alleys, typical greek island white buildings, pink flowers, Greek Orthodox churches and chapels, and numerous cats, overlooking the opposite site of the caldera. Feels authentic, far from the crowds. From the property, you see the sea, the island of Anafi in the distance, the west side of Santorini and the sunrise. Sarah was very helpful at the time of the check-in and during our stay. The property is very well located, central on the island. It is close to everything with a car. It is located a few minutes away from grocery stores, cities, restaurants. When we arrived, Sarah met us to welcome us and help us with our luggage and show us the property. There was a little bit of food and water in the fridge for us so we didn’t have to go to the grocery right away. It was very appreciated after a very long trip/2 flights from Canada. The house is built in a deep cavern, so not ideal for someone who is a bit claustrophobic (like one of our family member) but there’s a room located closer to the door/living room so it was alright. There’s air conditioning in the bedrooms, the beds are comfortable, kitchen is large enough and equipped to cook small meals. There’s a washing machine, 2 full bathrooms, an outdoor area to eat and a terrasse with views, lounging area and a small pool. Truly an amazing place to stay and relax after a long day of visiting cities, going to the (numerous) beaches, etc. There are 2 restaurants at walking distance and both were fantastic and authentic greek cuisine. Our son got a bit sick (asthma) and Sarah helped us to find a doctor to see him right away. The only downside i would say is the accessibility. The parking is a 5-7 minutes walk from the house, and quite uphill. Disabled or elderly people would have a hard time to get to the property and to bring their luggages. Also, the parking is sometimes full so we had to park further. And the terrace of the property is located at the top of a very long and steep staircase. It is an amazing place for someone mobile and in minimal good physical shape but should maybe avoided for a disabled and very old person. Anyway, Santorini is an island where you need to walk and climb uphill. We had truly a great time, we were very sad to leave and we hope to come back one day!

Fun Firm Retreat

We had an excellent time in this property. Everything was wonderful and we were well looked after. Our other colleagues were staying in Afoura Houses down the road, also in Ex Gonia but unfortunately they had a horrific stay. So happy we got this property instead of theirs. Some of the other group had to pay extra to stay elsewhere. So be careful who you rent from - and you can definitely trust this property! You will have a great time here unlike Afoura Houses

An Amazing And Unforgettable Experience

This holiday and accommodation exceeded all and any aspirations and lived up to every single expectation and more than ! The whole experience was immense and the work and quality that Sarah has put into creating such an amazing villa is impressive. The Location is excellent, beautifully quiet, amazing views and with virtually anything that you would want to see on the island within a 15-20 minute drive away. Sarah, the owner is always on hand and the help support and information she provides is excellent. You could base your entire holiday just touring the little villages and Tavernas that she gives you in her excellent information pack and you would not be disappointed. If Sarah says it is good, then trust me it is better than good ! The location and Villa is not for the feint hearted in terms of steps and hills, but not only is the effort spent well worth it but it works off all the time spent in the Tavernas. Local food and wine was unbelievable in terms of quality and value and eating out every day is a must ! Been back one day and booking next year already, just in case there wont be any availability, because the more people that eventually find out about this place, the less likelihood there will be any space for me ! Thinking about it, disregard all of the above, its awful, don't go, stay away as that might be the only way I will get back again next year ! Sarah - amazing job and such great vision and taste ! See you soon !

One week-stay

We enjoyed our stay very much. Sarah brought us some bread and there were the most important things already in the fridge, so we could start the next day comfortably! Thanks for that! Communication was very good. Sarah responded very quickly and clearly. The apartment is not really for claustrophobic people - the rooms have no windows - you sleep like in a real cave.. A curtain in the showers would be very nice! :) Thank you for everything Sarah Greetings from Switzerland

Location idéale pour visiter Santorin. A proximité des grands sites touristiques tout en étant au calme. La petite piscine est extrêmement appréciable compte-tenu de la température à Santorin. La maison troglodyte garde la fraîcheur et permet de passer de bonnes nuits. Literie impeccable. Sarah a été à notre écoute pour toute demande et ultra réactive. Lors de notre arrivée, elle avait prévu de nombreuses choses à manger et à boire pour nous éviter de nous précipiter au supermarché, ce qui a été très appréciable. Je recommande sans hésiter !

Eine Trauminsel

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Ein tolles Objekt, unser erstes Höhlenhaus. Die Terasse mit kleinem Pool ist super. Checkin unkompliziert. Was wir sehr schätzen: Es hatte schon ein kleines Paket mit Espresso, Wein, Wasser da...Also entspannt ankommen, einkaufen kann man auch später. Die Insel ist super. Die Sonnenuntergänge traumhaft. Das Objekt ist zentral gelegen. Flughafen, Santos Weine, Strände...alles schnell erreichbar. Gleich um die Ecke ein traumhaftes Restaurant. Das Essen war super auf Santorini. Die bekannten Hotspots Oia und Thira sollte man eher früh am Tag besuchen. Obwohl wir spät im Jahr, im Oktober da waren, sind die grossen Kreuzfahrtschiffe extrem spürbar. Diese spühlen x-tausende von Besuchern an diese Orte. Trotzdem, bleibt die Insel einen Besuch wert. Wir haben es sehr genossen und uns gut erholt.

Unique experience in Santorini

We loved our time at the Cavern House Helios. Sarah and Mark made our stay very simple and relaxed, from providing food (and beer & wine) for our arrival and allowing early check-in, to arranging for an airport pickup and car rental for the week we stayed. We loved the terrace pool and patio, and spent a lot of time in the beautiful Santorini weather, looking over the hills and ocean. Further inside the house, three bedrooms offer a very unique cave experience...you will really have no idea what time it is, as daylight doesn't reach to these rooms. The plunge pool was really handy for a morning dip, or to cool off in the mid-day, after touring the island. We did a fair bit of cooking ourselves, and the villa has everything you will need for that, from pans and knives to bbq and matches. I would highly recommend having a car or quad for the duration of your stay, as they are reasonably priced and a great way to see the island. Parking is a short walk from the villa. Thank you, Sarah and Mark, for a wonderful stay. Matt & Dawn, Canada
