Artemis and Vassilis went above and beyond welcoming us into their place.

Artemis et Vassilis ont été extrêmement accueillants et réactifs et nous ont suggéré de très bons restaurants aux alentours.
Le logement est quant à lui très bien situé, à... read more 10min à pieds de la ville d'Oia. Il est très bien équipé avec de petites attentions (café, gâteaux sèche-cheveux, ...), fonctionnel et décoré !
Nous recommandons sans hésiter ce logement si vous souhaitez visiter Santorin, et plus particulièrement Oia et ses environs.

Would highly highly recommend staying here, especially if you want to enjoy Santorini and want to escape the crowds in a more traditional setting.
Nicholas 12/07/2024
Vassilis and Artemis have set the gold standard for all of AirBnB's. To sum our stay up in one word, it was PERFECT. Every detail, big or small, has been... read more meticulously thought out. With the star of the show being "Momma!" The host's mother lives next door and really brings the whole Santorini experience together. Finikia is a caring, tight-knit town where everyone is always family. Upon landing our airport transfer, that Vassilis and Artemis set up was waiting and easy to find. As we arrived in Finikia, we were greeted by Fred, who is an absolute Saint, carried all the heavy bags straight to the cave house. Once at the cave house, Momma gets straight to work, giving us the grand tour and bringing sweet treats to welcome us. Even with us arriving in the evening, the check-in process was flawless.
Thank you all so much, and we can not wait to return. While visiting the beautiful island of Santorini, don't miss the opportunity to stay here.
It's simply the best.

AMAZING!!! This was the best Airbnb I have ever stayed in! Artemis is the best host. Before we arrived she helped us to arrange a car to pick us up... read more from the airport and was there to walk us to the Airbnb when we arrived late due to a delayed flight, she also helped us to book a sunset cruise (do this before you arrive they sell out!).

The location is awesome, quick 10 min walk to the town of Oia. We were only there for two full days and it was the perfect place to stay, didn’t want to leave!

The location is perfect, with fantastic restaurants within walking distance and the charming town of Oia just a short stroll away. We loved exploring the local culture and cuisine.
The cave house itself was a delight. It had all the amenities we needed, and its distinctive design added a touch of magic to our stay. It was not only comfortable but also a memorable part of our Santorini adventure.
Artemis's recommendations for local attractions and activities were spot-on. We felt like we truly experienced the best of Santorini, thanks to her insights.
The only minor downside was the pricey laundry services, but it didn't overshadow our overall fantastic experience.
