Summary: Our family (3 girls-11, 9, and 3) loved our stay here. The authentic cave house experience with the sweeping views and plunge pool were great. We walked to Pyrgos from the house as well as enjoyed a couple lovely meals locally at Mexitaxi Mas. We took our car all over the island each day, and our girls loved ending the day in the pool with the blue dome view. The Internet was strong, and there were a solid amount of beach and bath towels. We will very much miss waking up to that view and would not hesitate to book again. Note that it is a 5-minute or so walk uphill to the house from the parking area, and the steps to the terrace are steep with a rope railing on the wall. This didn’t bother us but those with younger kids or less mobility could have issues.

Summary: 3 night stay in Santorini in a centrally located cave house. Easy drive to everywhere on the island. Cool experience but not for the claustrophobic. Property was very clean, well stocked, and well maintained. Kimi was awesome to deal with!

Summary: A well appointed property lovely setting and views. Good nearby restaurants

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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!

Summary: We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay for our vacation! Centrally located on the island and easy to get to everywhere! Sarah is an excellent host and Petras was very informative and helpful!

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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.
