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

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.

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.

Wonderful stay in perfect location!

We had a wonderful stay in Oia, and such a perfect location in the middle of the pedestrian walking area of the village. Fantastic views from the patio to enjoy every evening. Owners and Dana and Dimitri were a great help in all aspects, and in meeting us for arrival and departure. Definitely recommend this home.

Best stay, location location location!

We had a great time at Hector’s place. The communication was super easy with Anastasia and quick and the place looks exactly like it does on the pictures. The neighborhood is very conveniently located and although it’s a lively neighborhood the apartment is very quiet! Would absolutely recommend to stay there!

Amazing Place!

I can't say enough good things about Hector Cave House. You're located in the heart of downtown Oia, within walking distance of everything the neighborhood has to offer. Giannis was a great host and very proactive with providing information and taking care of our needs. The pool is amazing. It's hard to describe how beautiful looking out over the Mediterranean in your private pool can be. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking in Santorini.

Spectacular!

Giannis (girlfriend too), Dana and her husband were the friendliest and most accommodating people your could ever imagine! Best service ever! Location was perfect with amazing caldera views. My hard to impress husband's words when we arrived were "WOW-nice job"! Happy hour on the deck every night and easy walk to restaurants and shops. Thank you for a memorable stay! Jodi and Bryan

Heaven on Esrth

Our stay in this beautiful home went far beyond our expectations. It was the first time that a rental property was even more beautiful than the advertisement photos. This typical cave house has been painstakingly renovated with great attention to detail. You will find all the comforts of home combined with all the amenities you'd expect in a five-star hotel. The kitchen is well equipped including a Nespresso machine. The owner Giannis is welcoming and attentive making sure that guests are comfortable and satisfied. The house is impeccably clean and the plunge -pool type spa on the terrasse will help keep you cool while enjoying the extrairdinary view over the caldera. Despite the touristy bustle of Ia you are far from the madding crowd in this tranquil nest perched high above the sea. I highly recommend this property.
