Hector Cave House

Hector Cave House was the perfect peaceful haven, amongst the crazy busy streets of Santorini. The house had everything we needed, the plunge pool was perfect and the whole outdoor area really made the stay! Great location in Oia, every direction you look the view is stunning. Faye was so helpful with recommendations and helping us arrange transfers etc, and thank you also to Dimitris for helping us with our luggage. This place is a special gem, 100% would recommend!

We were a family of 5 (parents and 3 kids 18, 21, 23). The house is long and narrow, but fit us all comfortably. This house is on the pedestrian only path of Santorini so pack light as you need to walk the crowded path to reach your accommodations. It is far enough down the path that it is quieter at the house. It is a magnificent location. The dipping pool is cool, but feels wonderful after walking around all day. And thankfully Faye (our host) helped us arrange transfers to and from the ferry. She was very attentive and helpful, and super nice! The transfers she arranged made life so much easier! And then she had a man meet us at our transfer to walk us to the Cave House. He even helped us with our bags. Much appreciated! We stayed 2 nights which in my opinion is enough time in Santorini.

We recently spent 10 spectacular days at the Hector Cave House on our 6th trip to Santorini over the past 20 years and it truly exceeded our expectations. The apartment was very spacious, extremely clean and well maintained, ideally situated and had an incredible view as well as great seating outdoors and plunge pool to enjoy it. The apartment was expertly serviced by Donna and Demetri who not only did a spectacular job each day but were delightful to talk with. Donna’s recommendations and information in general were so helpful. We also had the opportunity to meet the owner Giannis. We had originally selected this apartment due to the incredible (and accurate) photographs as well as Giannis’ responsiveness to various questions during our booking process. We were delighted to meet him when he visited Santorini from his home in Athens and made the effort to meet us in person. There was literally nothing Giannis and his staff did not anticipate a guest would need. Having stayed in scores of VRBO’s across the US; this was our first experience in one internationally. We were totally impressed with every aspect of our experience; so glad we chose this route versus a hotel and were so thankful we chose Hector Cave House. We cannot recommend it more highly.

Amazing views of the Caldera and the volcanoes. Great terrace area and pool to enjoy the views from. The cave house was impeccably presented inside & out. Perfectly situated just a short 2 minute walk from the centre of Oia and many restaurants. The hosts & hector cave house housekeeping team were incredible, extremely helpful and knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble for them from arranging various activities and even doing some grocery shopping at our request ahead of our arrival. We'll definitely be booking again.

Cave house staff greets you on arrival and Carries your bags up the steps to this beautiful home. Located right in oia and steps to sunset. Dream home booking, highly recommend! Just beautiful!

Couldn’t have stayed in a more perfect spot. Friendly Staff and the views!!!! Nice location to all the hot spots. I can’t wait to come back. Thank you to the host Giannis and Dimitri and Danna for helping us with luggage upon arrival and departure. They were so friendly and checked in on us. Made our stay so welcoming. This is the place to stay the warm pool was a hit with my daughter.
