Caldera Houses Oia

Fantastic views in front of the Caldera, at the heart of Oia. Very convenient for a stay in the island. Mary was a super host taking care of every requirement in a very efficient way

The views

The bathrooms had mold and there was not air conditioning in all of the rooms. Santorini is a tourist trap with overpriced transportation, food and shopping. It looks not has pretty views and photos. There is little to do on the island with kids. It’s hot and the beaches are terrible compared to other islands.

Best location in Oia and best view!

Position is central Oia - can’t get any closer. Our room was off the street with just a few stairs only to access. The view was second to none. And the pool/ hot tub was perfect. When Oia is super hot and town is busy - the balcony and pool overlooking the whole Caldera is the perfect place to relax. Breakfast is served and is huge _ it will likely cover lunch as well. The house was beautifully decorated and had everything you need. Mary and Tim took excellent care of us and organised all transfers and porters to carry our luggage.

Nothing.

It was central, of course had an amazing view and the interior was beautifully done.

Nothing

The best thing is the place is in the main attraction area.

None~~

Location was prefect and views of the caldera were stunning.

The pool was green and dirty the whole stay. The height of the doorways was dangerously low. While breakfast was provided, it was never delivered at a consistent time and was much later than we would have liked (often after 9am).

It was a beautiful and comfortable suite. Location was amazing ,right in Oia but still away from the noise. Bed was comfortable and breakfast was lovely.Hot tub with the view was a charm. There was a bottle of wine waiting for us on arrival which was a sweet surprise, Mary was responsive in whatsapp mostly.

on our day 2 when we returned in the evening , it looked like no cleaning was done, floors not swept/mopped properly, beds not made , dishes washed but were put back without wiping so next morning when we took the plates out for breakfast, it was dripping and looked dirty :( There was some confusion with creamer and shampoo, we were told that the cleaner thought we were using ours so dint leave any but next day we were home when the cleaner came and she cleaned everything very well and left plenty of creamer and shampoo. So bottom line ,everyday cleaning was not that great but it was nice and clean when we checked in.

Great spot with amazing views - including from the hot tub! The hotel arranged us a transfer from the airport, and a porter took our bags about 100m from the drop-off spot. Many restaurants and scenic viewpoints in a short walk. Tourist excursions depart from the post office area about 100m walk, 2 minutes if the streets are clear, 5 minutes if the's a cruise ship in and the streets are packed. There is a phone concierge who can book car or boat trips. Sitting on the terrace with a glass of local Assyrtiko wine, watching the caldera view, was beautiful.

The third bedroom is a loft with a steep ladder access, not suitable for small children, old people, disabled. The whole town is difficult for disabled folk, with many steps and steep hillside. The toilet system is strange. There is a sign not to flush your toilet paper but to put it in the bin. I've travelled in many third world places like Africa and India, and haven't encountered that before. I'd heard of it from my son travelling in Mexico, but there's something unpleasant about wiping your own excrement into a bin that's 2m from your bed! The place is serviced daily so it's less of a health hazard. The otherwise full kitchen didn't have a microwave.
