Dreamy stay

It was dream stay! I would definitely recommend this accommodation. Located in Oia, a beautiful part of the island, you don't want to leave the accommodation. The views were incredible. You can sit in the hot tub and just gaze out to a beautiful vista all day.

We had a wonderful stay. John was so helpful with making recommendations, helping us rent a car, and share highlights to visit. Although it was off season and many places were closed we still had a wonderful time. The cave apartment had everything we needed. A convenient breakfast, daily cleaning, incredible view, hot tub and excellent service. Stay here you will not regret it.

Simply breathtaking

We had an absolutely amazing stay at The Architect's Cave House. We felt it was the best view of the Santorini sunset on the island. John was very accommodating, meeting us to guide us to the accommodation, providing local tips. The kitchen was perfect for making meals. Only a short walk into Oía centre where all the good restaurants and bars are located. We'll be back!

The Architects Cave House was a unique property. John greeted us when we arrived to help us find where we were staying. So glad he did. It was a little difficult navigating the area due to the layout, but once we got it down, we had no problems. The view was amazing and we loved sitting out on the terrace just looking out at the sea. The property was clean and perfect for our stay. John was very responsive to anything we needed and the breakfast was amazing! Would definitely return.

地點看日落很正，對住個海好寧靜及舒服。 住宿期間有下列情況給大家參考及留意： - 床鋪只有一張床單，沒有被子 - 有小廚房，但燈是壞的，需自備食油及調味料，只提供鹽 - 廁所燈是壊的 - 露天按摩池不是每天清潔的 - 要行很多樓梯級，行李宜輕便

Its a very beautiful property. You can see people queue up for the sunset view while you could just sit in the balcony and watch the amazing sunset. All facilities are great and Kamila ( host) is very helpful. I would give 5 stars to this property!

Lovely cave house

We loved this cave house which is in a perfect location to enjoy the sunset in Oia. There were large numbers of people in the surrounding streets waiting to get the view that we had instant access to everyday. The design inside is fantastic and tiles/ cushions and colours look great. The bed was very comfortable. The only improvements we could think of were the shower does not have a hook making it a bit of pain to use holding it above your head. We tried to have a bath to counteract this problem but the bath itself is large and would take a huge amount of hot water to fill it. As said in the previous review the internet worked on and off but we were out most of the time. The only thing that bothered us was the shower but we would highly recommend staying here it is lovely

Lovely Space but Working Out Kinks

The Architect's Cave is a beautifully decorated and comfortable villa, with an incredible view of Amoudi Bay and Santorini's Caldera. Unfortunately many of the amenities, such as wireless internet and television were not working, which was very frustrating because the weather in Santorini was stormy our whole stay, and we were stuck indoors. The tiny window above the door does not have a latch, so during the rainstorm, water was coming in and pooling by the door. The jacuzzi was nice, but more like a small pool because it was not hot. There are also no curtains in the bathroom, so there is no privacy while using the toilet or taking a shower. The space was nice and clean, but I would not recommend staying here until those problems are fixed.
