Bonita Santorini Cave

Great hosts, lovely breakfast and quirky rooms.

Too many mosquitoes.

Aris was a great host From picking up from airport, checking in and breakfast to dropping us to port. He was there throughout. Thank Aris. Best wishes on your business front. Keep smiling Thank you once again Schumacher Great drive to the port in santorini

The host Aris was super accommodating, and always available for everything we needed, such as pick up, drop off, questions etc. He even upgraded us to the larger cave house with a bathtub which was so sweet. We all really enjoyed the bathtub, such a cool add on. Breakfast was good, wish there was maybe more options for scrambled eggs or omelettes rather than just hard boiled eggs.

It was cool to stay inside of a cave house, however internet was so slow due to the house structure. The first two days we had no internet because of a storm. And it was almost impossible to get 5g/4g inside the cave house because it blocked the signal. Once the storm had passed we had wifi but it was still quite slow. Would recommend putting a booster inside the master bedroom for internet.

Owner of the property is so supportive and nice, that when there were some unexpected last minute issues with the property, he managed to provide us a much better option and came to help us settle. Very nice property and owner.

Everything, the place is super nice, it feels like home

This was a unique apartment in that it is actually in a cave, built into the side of a hillside. One bedroom, the single bed, was on a lower level from the main rooms. I was worried that, being no windows nor an air conditioning unit down there, my brother would have no cool air. But he said it was fine, so I guess the "cave system" worked well! Our host, Aris, was most accommodating and answered all our questions. He picked us up at the port when our ferry came in, showed us around the unit, and gave some suggestions for restaurants. He also served us breakfast in the morning out on the patio - what a lovely way to start the day! He was disappointed we weren't staying longer than one night, but we had arrived a day earlier than originally planned, and had another apartment already booked. He offered to drive us to the next village and delivered us right to the door. Above and beyond hospitality! If you're in the need for an affordable lodging, set back off the main streets, and close to Kamari Beach, this is for you. I only wish we had had more time to explore the area. There were some interesting wineries and breweries close by.

The only drawback was, since it is back off the main street, there were no restaurants in the immediate are. Each one recommended was about a 20–30-minute walk, which is really no problem - there were sidewalks along the main road. We had no car and after the long ferry ride, we were ready for some exercise. But if you do have a car, then the only issue would be parking. There didn't seem to be any by the units, so you'd have to still walk up the lane to the rooms. Just wanted to give a heads up on that!

Nice location, nice secluded outdoor space

It is a cave actually, typical housing typology of Santorini. This means that it smelled like mold. I believe it was mainly because of the bad ventilation installation. I had to leave the front door open to minimise the smell but many mosquitos entered the room so i could not sleep. No mosquito repellents were provided. Also the towel for the shower floor was clearly not cleaned after the previous guest
