Guest reviews
Exceptional
Lovely few days
Liked: Wonderful views, lovely cave house in the centre of the caldera, comfortable and well equipped
Disliked: Not a complaint but you need to be fit to get around the surrounding area
Beautiful cave house at the end of Oia with sunset views
Liked: The cave was just amazing. The views were spectacular. The lady who came in every day to look after the house was wonderful. She made us feel very welcome and was very knowledgeable about the area. Such a lovely experience.
Disliked: Nothing. But if you can’t manage a lot of steps, this is not the place for you.
Felt very homey & unique 👌

The perfect blend of charm, comfort, and breathtaking views, making our stay in Santorini special
Liked: We absolutely loved our time at Fotinos Houses in Oia. The cave house was cool and airy—simple, comfortable, and full of character. The shaded yard opened onto a terrace with a truly spectacular view, perfect for watching the famous Santorini sunset in peace, away from the crowds. The air conditioning was a lifesaver during the hottest parts of the day, and the small kitchen was just right for making morning coffee and cooking simple meals. And the bathroom with its lovely shower in the cave was brilliant. What really made our stay special was Ioanna, our wonderful host. She was so kind—cleaning the apartment daily, with fresh sun-dried towels, crisp sheets, and even treating us to Greek coffee and homemade biscuits and spinach and cheese pastries to welcome us. And she told us about her personal connection to the house. And - if you love cats - then there's a beautiful black one who comes to visit every day.
Disliked: A sharp knife would have been a great addition for those who like to cook. Also, the guests in the apartment above us tended to take over this apartment's small lookout point for the sunset, even though there were other spots they could use. These are just minor points, though. One thing to note: Oia involves some steep, strenuous walking, so it’s important to pace yourself, especially during the heat. Lastly, be prepared to deal with Instagram influencers who might try to take photos from your terrace, ignoring the 'private' and 'keep out' signs."
