I was surprised that we got that kind of location with private terrace to view the sunset including furniture and fridge with wine and snacks for the money we payed. In Oia, everything works around the sunset, is the major attraction after the landscape and you can confirm this going to restaurants with view to the sunset. This is a goldmine for travelers who want to enjoy the sunset in a private and privileged location. The help from the staff and porters was excellent. I can't remember their names but they were always there ready to help us. Breakfast was healthy and practical.

Nothing that I can think of at all.

This beautiful Cave Home was perfect , great location, very clean and a wonderful staff. Maria, Daniel and the rest of the team always made sure we had whatever we needed and left local pasty goodies and wine for us to enjoy that was delicious. The property had everything needed to cook if needed, toiletries, coffee, water and little things you do t think to pack but usually need. We will definitely be going back to Santorini again I hope some and staying in one of Maria’s other cave homes.

Maria and the staff were very helpful and available if i needed anything. Maria really prepared for my arrival to make sure i got to the apartment with ease and safely. She was even kind enough to offer me as much helpful advice, info and left the apartment with snacks and provisions for my stay. I enjoyed the balcony where guest can sit together and watch the sunset, and the location was really quiet. I had a very relaxing stay and will definately recommend the sunset cave apartment.

A little disrepair on the guard ropes on the roof balcony which might pose a risk to kids... was noted by host, and I'm sure repaired by now.

Amazing location on Santorini - as advertised, a perfect window into an iconic view. We had only 1 day on the island and wanted to maximize our time without fighting the crowds, and have a chance to relax. The Helios home enabled us to do all that and more. We were delighted by the cave interior, the cute "secret" little room and little hobbit hole / door to access as well as by how much space we had in the loft and main bed space. The pocket window facing the sea was charming, and we really felt special to be going into the house with the blue door which many tourists were taking pictures of in front. The highlight, the balcony at the top afforded a glorious panoramic view. I took the complimentary rose wine (fridge had nice basics of food in there) and went up for a peek and didn't leave again for 2 hours until the last of the sun disappeared. We spent a bit of time looking at the various views all through the island, and found ourselves very happy and satisfied with the Helios view. Maria the host arrived as the sun was setting and we had a very nice chat - she was kind enough to bring snacks (delicious local fruit, etc.) and was very helpful throughout including warning us of when the boats were cancelled and giving us recommendations throughout. Note, the home is on a relatively steep part of the hill (while it is steep, it is short, just 5-10 min walk), but the porter they send to pick you up, carry the luggage, and give the keys was amazing in navigating the streets quickly and made it easy for check-in. Overall Bravo! for a beautiful experience - we'd love to come stay again one day soon!

My recent stay at Oia Cave Hotel in Santorini was nothing short of extraordinary. Located in the heart of Oia, the hotel offered the perfect vantage point to witness the breathtakingly picturesque sunsets that Santorini is renowned for. The location was ideal, as it was within walking distance to all the famous spots where one could marvel at the beauty of the sun setting over the Aegean Sea. One of the highlights of my stay was the warm and attentive hospitality provided by Maria, the fantastic host at Oia Cave Hotel. From the moment I arrived, Maria made me feel right at home. She greeted me with a friendly smile and took the time to ensure that all my needs were met. Her knowledge of the island was impressive, and she was more than happy to provide recommendations and insider tips on the best places to visit and dine. The cave-style accommodation at Oia Cave Hotel was truly unique and added to the overall charm of the experience. The rooms were beautifully decorated, combining traditional Santorinian architecture with modern amenities. Staying in a cave-like room was a fascinating experience, and I appreciated the attention to detail in the design and comfort of the space. The hotel also had a stunning rooftop terrace, which provided panoramic views of the caldera and the surrounding landscape. It was the perfect spot to relax and soak in the beauty of the island. Overall, my stay at Oia Cave Hotel was a truly memorable one. The combination of its prime location, comfortable accommodations, and Maria's exceptional hospitality made it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a unique and enchanting stay in Santorini.

Perfect location! Super friendly staff and host. Watching the sunset from our own rooftop was a really nice bonus. I highly recommend this place for your stay and i will definitely come back!

No big negatives. But the pictures on the web site makes the place look bigger than it really is. Just something to keep in mind. It is a cave house with a small kitchen. The bedroom is part of main suite. And another bed on a loft. A wine cellar downstairs is also converted to a room. Due to the location of the home, sometimes the water pressure varies (and could stop completely). The private jacuzzi is not part of this house. You have to walk up another 5 mins or so to another house. We still enjoyed our stay and would love to come back.

We stayed in the Helios cave house. The location was perfect! It was in Oia, located on the hillside with a perfect view of the sunset and the hills. While people lined up on the stairs outisde and the hills to view the sunset, we were able to enjoy the sunset views from our private terrace. Amoudi bay was a 15 min walk down the stairs. Maria was a good host and responded to all our queries. The staff was very helpful in taking care of the room, supplies and general queries. There were plenty of people taking pictures of our door, which made us feel privileged ! The castle (popular for viewing the sunset) was just above our house.

- Don’t expect hot breakfast when you book with breakfast read the guidelines in there official website - if you are booking in a group of more than 2 families make sure you check with host directly as the cave houses are located in different locations.

Location of the property is beautiful with amazing views. Helios has the best sunset view and has a private balcony where you can enjoy the sunset view. The beds are very comfortable and cleaned every day The host Maria is a very sweet lady and gave us a personal touch to our stay she treated us a like family member. She was always reachable. she was providing snacks and drinks which was really sweet. The helpers/porter Mustafa was really hard working man he was very helpful.
