Wrong booking

On the date checking in. House keeper will tell you not to do this, not to do that. For example, do not splash water from swimming pool… I guess she doesn’t want to clean it. would complain you delay her routine….( we waited for a while to get the taxi they arrange for us). she will makes you feel you have done so many bad things to her…..miserable house keeper. Horrible experience for the money we paid.

Incredible

The perfect property for an incredible stay on Santorini. Dana and Dimitris were just the best at making us feel comfortable and helping with any questions that we had. The view was amazing and the deck was perfect. The location could not have been better. All in all we give it a 10 out if 10. Tom and Jane

Among the Most Beautiful Place in the World - Hector Cave House

The most beautiful place in the world to stay. I truly enjoyed staying at Hector Cave House. It has left a very memorable experience to my visit and I can’t wait to return. It’s even more beautiful in person. The location is the best and close to everything. The owner and staff make you feel like you’re at home.

About the host

Hosted by Giannis

Hi there,

I am Giannis, 36 years old and I grew up in Athens.
After studying and working abroad (UK and Switzerland) for 5 years,I decided to come back in Greece and work for a family business.

In 1998 my parents visited Santorini Island and they fell in love with Oia village where they bought that picturesque cave house…
Since then all about my summer vacations is to lay back at that terrace and admire the spectacular view.

Traveling is to share…
There is no better way of doing this, other than sharing the experience with other travelers.

Of course I will not lose any chance to discover unique destinations like Santorini around the world…
