Santorini Stay without the Crowds

We had a lovely stay in the Cave house. It was amazing to stay in Santorini and be away from the crowded areas. We rented a car to get around the island which was a must. The car rental was delivered right to the property. The property is very well managed and the team that looks after it is very competent. Communication was excellent and all questions were immediately answered. The nearby tavern, Metaxi Mas is a fantastic restaurant and a very quick walk.

A sanctuary Away from the crazy busy rest of Santorini

Our stay in the cave house was like a sanctuary in the middle of Santorini! No crowds in this little village. Getting up the steep oath to the house & pool is no mean feat but worth it. The cavern house is beautifully kept and has everything you need. A car is definitely needed nut it is not far from anywhere including Kamari beach, Fira and lovely Purgos & Megalochori villages.

Very unique stay

We absolutely loved the cave house. So unique. The upper deck and cool pool were the best part of the house!!! Petros, villa manager, went above and beyond for us. He was always just a call away and did whatever he could to help us. We all had the best nights sleep as it is so dark and quiet in and around the house.. remember, a cave has no windows!!! And really comfy beds!! All in all, we highly recommend the cave house.

Brilliant Stay

Out of this world. Absolutely brilliant accommodation… very clean, gorgeous terrace with lap pool, view on the terrace beautiful and as for Pedro (the property manager) what can I say. Nothing was a bother, answered any queries straight away, went out of his way to do anything for us, was a complete gentleman, we just wanted to wrap him up and take him home with us. Now that’s what managers are all about. Could not have got any better. Beautiful people, beautiful island, magnificent holiday. We were spoilt by Pedros! Thank you young man. ❤️

Perfect Location to Explore the Island

My wife and teenage daughter and I stayed at the villa for 4 days in July and it suited our needs perfectly!! Centrally located making it convenient for Fira, Oia and the beaches at Perissa and Kamara. Our host, Mery, was super helpful especially with restaurant recommendations and transport around the island as we didn’t rent a car. The pool with the villa was a great plus for all of us as were the great restaurant choices within easy walking distance. A beautiful place in a great location - definitely would stay at Cavern House Anthea again!!

The property was pretty much what I had expected. The location was much more remote.

We enjoyed our stay. Disappointed that there was no where to go for coffee, a drink, or to just hang out. The wonderful resturant, Metaxi Mas, was definitely a God-send.

Character Filled Calm

We deeply appreciated the character of the updated cave house, as well as the location in a village less overwhelmed by tourists despite the proximity to Metaxi Mas and Anemoloos (both taverns worth eating at). It’s recommended to have a vehicle here. Sarah was kind, clear, and always available by message. Petros was an excellent member of the on-site team, ready and willing to share tips, solve potential problems at the property (though none arose), and help make bookings for transfers or activities/excursions. The property is a short drive to Kamari for a quick swim or brunch at The Finch, Omoos for excellent morning coffee, and Santo Wines for a wine tasting with views that overshadow the iconic Oia Instagram influencer shots. Be sure to enjoy the local and authentic taverna food on the island. Perivolos and Perissa beaches are a 15 minute drive and offer the better beach experiences on the island.

Nice stay in traditional cave house

If you are looking for a cave house for your stay in Santorini then you will not go wrong with this property. The location is in a quiet village, and you do need a car to get around, but there are two restaurants within walking distance, including the highly rated and very popular Metaxi Mas. The pool terrace is beautiful, and sunrise is worth getting up early for. The property manager, Petros, was awesome, very helpful and responsive. It should be noted that the cave house is a 5 minute uphill walk from the parking, which may not suit everyone.

What a find!

An amazing, clean and beautiful place to stay in Exo Gonia. It really is an unusual place and so tastefully decorated. What made the stay was the care and attention Petros, our property manager gave to us. He was there when we arrived, offering support and ideas, he popped in to answer queries but was always at the end of a text message, whenever we wanted advice on a place to visit or a query about the property. He even went out of his way to help us get our car back to the airport. He organised transfers to the port and he let us stay in the adjoining property when we had to check out and it was raining. An amazing property but the personal service of Petros really added to our holiday experience, thank you Petros.

Sarah's Cave House at Exo Gonia is awesome

We very much enjoyed our stay at this historic, yet modern, cave house (3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms; small but nice front/dining room, and good sized kitchen). The only negative is that there is no immediate parking (walking distance is about 100 m), and there is a small incline with steps to reach the house; finally, the steps down to the house yard are steep and a little narrow. Thus bringing bags and groceries can be a challenge if you are elderly; in short, this is not a house for the less mobile elderly or otherwise infirm. The only other small issue is that like all of Greece, you have to put your used toilet paper in a small bin, and NOT in the toilet. Otherwise we very much enjoyed our stay. Sarah is an awesome host and met us on our arrival to show us the way to the house, and things to do re locking up, etc. The pool is also great. In short, this is a 5-star unique house, especially if you are reasonably fit and can handle the walk up to the house from the car park.

Wonderful Stay!

We had a perfect stay at this property! The property manager Sarah could not of have been more helpful. She helped us with a car rental, booked a sunset cruise, arranged a transfer to the port and recommended many great restaurants. The property itself is a short walk from the parking at the church in a truly authentic Greek neighborhood. This means it is so quiet! We were grateful that the fully stocked kitchen came with some meat, cheese, bread, beer and wine. We wanted to go straight to the pool deck ontop of the house and enjoy those views! The house is very thoughtfully decorated with room for us (five adults) to spread out. While we were there we ate the famous Metaxi Mas which was a five minute walk away. Make sure to make reservations well in advance! We also had a short walk to the restaurant Anemolos. The beautiful village of Pyrgos is nearby. It was a three minute drive or a 15 minute walk. If you walk the back trails wear proper walking shoes because some areas have loose gravel. We loved the restaurant Rosemary in Pyrgos that had excellent food and great sunset views. It was a sad day when we had to depart the cave house but enjoyed a wonderful sunrise on the deck before we left. Thanks Sarah for all your help in giving us a perfect vacation!

Beautiful Cave House

We had a very nice stay at Sarah’s place in Exo Gonia. The place is spotless and provided all the amenities you need. Sarah met us at the bottom of a small hill that leads to the property. She also helped us with bags. The view from the pool area is amazing and the pool refreshing. The layout of the house suited our group of 4 just fine. The main room is much bigger than it looks in the photo. Aircon and wireless worked great plus the shower and water pressure was excellent. The house has these wonderful little touches, you can tell someone put alot of care into the remodel. There’s a washing machine and clothes dry quickly on the rack outside. The beds are comfortable and linens cosy. The house is walkable to two local tavernas. Both we enjoyed. A little further on you’ll find the Santorini Brewery, market, pharmacy etc. We did rent a car which was delivered to the church down the road. Sarah was also helpful to book rides if we were returning late or wine was going to be involved. Exo Gonia is a lovely hamlet, its quiet, peaceful…no vibrating music blasting until 4am, no one throwing up at the curb, no litter, no traffic. We did a couple winery visits, a food tour, and took a boat ride. All easy to book online or with Sarah’s advisement. Overall a perfect stay for us. Highly recommended. Thanks Sarah!

We came over for my brothers wedding and he was staying in another one of Sarah’s villas. From start to finish sarah helped us out with car hire, recommended many places to visit and eat. The view from this property looking out to sea from the pool was amazing. But especially at night overlooking all the villages below was stunning. Sarah was the perfect host always available as she lived near. Highly recommend the stay not only for the views but for the fact sarah was there for us whenever we needed assistance.

Lovely peaceful property!

This house is stunning, with great views and a beautiful rooftop pool. It was extremely clean and easy to get to from the airport. Sarah was extremely responsive and helpful, even recommending a few great restaurants in the area. The only flag I have (which is definitely standard in Santorini, but I didn't realize) is that you can't drive up to the house so there's a short uphill walk from the road.

Nice cave house with stunning view from terrace

Beautiful cave house with stunning view, nice and cool even in July. A shame that that the terrace and pool need to be accesed via the footpath and therefore didn't get as much use as it should have. Also, a small tabel up there would be nice, so one could have pre dinner drinks. Would come back another time, but I guess Corona Santorini was more to our linking than a normal July would be, since it was really nice and quiet. Many thanks Sara, for the good service.
