Guest Reviews
- Willard Ray (10/5): I recommend staying in this property. Restaurants were within steps away. About a 0.5 a very nice bakery (The Family B - Well provisioned with amenities and perfect location. Nothing. Every thing was perfect!
- Spinoso (10/5): - Todo excelente, muy atenta Nada
- Karine (10/5): Absolument charmant et pratique! - Tout était parfait!! Très bien situé, je le recommande fortement! Rien
- Sherezaan (10/5): Peaceful, authentic and relaxing. - A Peaceful Hidden Gem in Megalochori. During my visit to Santorini (9–15 October), I stayed in three different villages, and without a doubt, Caldera Caves in Megalochori was the most aesthetically pleasing and soul-soothing of them all. From the moment I stepped inside, I was amazed by the elegant interior design, spacious layout, and the calm, welcoming aura that fills the entire space. It’s one of those places that feels like a retreat, so beautiful that on some days, I didn’t even want to leave to explore!
Megalochori itself is an absolute treasure. It’s a peaceful, traditional village that has preserved its authentic Greek charm, cobblestone streets, whitewashed houses, and blooming bougainvillea at every turn. Unlike the busy areas of Oia and Fira, Megalochori feels intimate and serene, with very little foot traffic, making it perfect for those seeking relaxation and authenticity.
The location is perfect, just a short walk (about 0.9 km) to the famous “Heart of Santorini” viewpoint and right in front of the village square, where you’ll find lovely local restaurants and cafés to enjoy a true taste of Greek cuisine.
Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, with a variety of options each morning. A special mention goes to Justine, who prepares and serves breakfast with genuine warmth and care, her hospitality truly makes you feel at home.
Everything about my stay was exceptional, from the stunning design to the tranquil setting and heartfelt service. I would return in a heartbeat. Location 10/10. 💙
- CLEMENCE (10/5): Une expérience MAGNIFIQUE ! - Absolument TOUT ! C'était un séjour parfait chez Vivian ! Elle a été très accueillante.
La suite est magnifique, très très bien rénovée et décorée : un coup de cœur !!!
Et que dire de la petite terrasse en hauteur avec le jacuzzi ... des couchers de soleil magnifiques !!!
Les équipements sont parfaits, il ne manque rien !
Le petit déjeuner est incroyable et copieux : mention spéciale aux œufs brouillés à la fêta !!!
Concernant la situation géographique, nous avons adoré être dans ce petit village typique, loin de l'émulation des plus grandes villes. Au pied de l'hébergement, vous trouverez des petits restaurants, des artisans.
Nous avons utilisé le bus pour nous déplacer et cela était très pratique.
Merci pour ce moment !!! Rien !
- Faber (10/5): Hospedaje excepcional - Me encantó la privacidad y lo limpio y organizado del hospedaje
- Gitta (10/5): Great place to stay - We enjoyed our stay here, and Megalochori is a charming place.
The property is beautiful and clean, equipped with the most necessary things for a short stay
(Coffee and mineral water is also provided).
Free parking lot is also available nearby. We did not find a good way to dry our swimming suits after using the hot tub…
- Battaglia (8/5): - Bella struttura nel centro del paese. Confortevole. Non abbiamo fatto colazione in hotel. Siamo stati bene. Abbiamo trascorso solo una notte.
- Valentina (10/5): Tutto perfetto! - Camera perfetta con jacuzzi sulla terrazza con una vista spettacolare su una tipica chiesa bianca con il tetto blu! Dotata di ogni comfort! La struttura è una bomboniera ed è proprio ciò che ti immagini quando pensi a una struttura in Grecia! Irene è stata super disponibile fin da subito per aiutarci in tutto ! Posizione ottima per visitare Santorini! Assolutamente consigliata -
- Violeta (9/5): -
- Kemal (10/5): Yerel sakin ve temiz - Biz son gun , porta yakin olsun diye tercih etmistik ancak fiyat/ fayda dengesine baktigimizda keske santorinide her gun burada kalsaydik dedik , aracla hem porta hem firaya cok yakin , firanin icinde kalsaniz bile otele ulasmak icin merdiven cikmak ve inmek zorunda kaliyorsunuz , kesinlikle tavsiye ediyorum , calisanlar cok ilgili ve cana yakin , cok fazla bilinmeyen bir yunan mahallesinde konakliyorsunuz , yunan kulturunu yasamak icinde cok ideal bir yer , kesinlikle tavsiye ediyorum Begenmedimiz hicbirsey olmadi
- Guest (10/5): Ottimo
Ottimo - Bellissima location ,borgo unico e molto caratteristico silenzioso piccolo e privato
, host gentilissima in tutto .pulitissimo, arredi meravigliosi ,design unico,bottiglia vino in omaggio Unica cosa essendo una grotta caratteristica le camere son
o un po' umide e c 'e' odore di muffa anche se in camera e'presente un deumidificatore
- Jason (9/5): Wonderful amd authentic Greek island experience ! - Its location, size of apartment, staff creating a lovely over all experience Nothing
- Jason (9/5): authentic and genuine Greek Santorini experience - A great way to experience local life in Santorini … away from the normal hot spots bit close enough to enjoy them.
Good value for money and luxury feeling etc.
- Norma (7/5): Beautiful and peaceful place - The concept
- Jeremy (8/5): Very good -
- Anonymous (8/5): Very good -
- Dyan (9/5): cozy cave, warm staff, quiet location - The location is great for people wanting more privacy and quiet. The cave room is so cozy and comfortable. The staff is very accommodating and helpful, most especially Suella, who made sure we had earlier breakfast. The food was sumptuous. It is recommended for future tenants (most especially for short stays) to rent their preferred transportation as taxis are expensive and riding public buses are not convenient. Parking could also be an issue.
- Thanucha (9/5): Superb - Beautiful place to stay at with a private rooftop Jacuzzi. Vivian was really accommodating and helpful even after we left the room. She was always easy to reach by Whatsapp. Beautiful blue domes can be seen at the rooftop and the accommodation is situated in a pretty village
- Melva (10/5): A splendid stay we had and will definitely recommend if youre looking for a tranquil yet romantic experience in an encha - Vivian was very good to us. The breakfast was one of the best so far we had in Santorini - especially the (Greek?) coffee. The BnB has a nice touch and very thoughtful design. Rooftop jacuzzi was very relaxing and in fact the warmest jacuzzi we had been to in Santorini with a lovely view of the blue dome church. A very minor issue we had was figuring out place to store our luggage on the day of leaving - as this was a BnB type of property without a reception. Although in the end we got it sorted in a nearby shop.
- Popescu (10/5): Exceptional - I recently stayed at this location and was absolutely blown away by the experience. The property has a well-deserved 9.5-star rating, but in my opinion, it truly deserves a perfect 10 stars! Everything about this place exceeded my expectations, from the immaculate cleanliness to the exceptional service and beautiful surroundings.
I find it hard to believe that anyone could find fault with this property. I encountered no issues during my stay—everything was perfect! The attention to detail, the comfort of the accommodations, and the overall ambiance were simply outstanding.
I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a flawless experience. If you're considering staying here, don't hesitate—you won’t regret it! all was fine
- Birgitte (10/5): Exceptional - We were greeted by the very friendly Vivian upon arrival. She had helped organise a taxi to collect us from the port and was only a WhatsApp message away throughout our stay should we need help with anything. The room was absolutely beautiful, very clean and spacious, with lots of lovely interior design details. It was also lovely and cool despite the scorching temperature outside. The breakfast, served outside in the beautiful courtyard, was delicious. Several good restaurants just outside the gates and a mini market down the road. We would love to come back!
- Elisa (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was simply amazing !
- Michelle (9/5): Wonderful accom and charming service - Arrived to the fabulous greeting from Vivian. What a beautiful place and superb room. Just as pics look on Booking.com. We had dinner booked by Viv plus a taxi transfer to the ferry port below and were not disappointed. . Breakfast was great served outside. The village is charming 15 mins away by taxi from ferry to other Islands . We would go again in a heatbeat . Book a room with a hot tub and sun beds if you are staying more than one night. TV was all in Greek so don't expect any international channels .
- Jalal (10/5): Really nice place, host was amazing and excellent service -
- Cinthya (10/5): The best stay we had in Greece! - Beautiful place!
It was super nice and well taken care of. It was super clean and the details were very unique! Just gorgeous place and loved the location! I loved everything about it
- Maja (10/5): Exceptional -
- David (10/5): Beautiful property in quiet location, no regrets in staying here. - Unique, beautiful, great staff. Need transportation to see the rest of the island
- Michelle (10/5): Beautiful view from your private rooftop area. Unique and very comfortable accommodation in the heart of a historic vill - This boutique accommodation is nested in the heart of the quaint Megalokhori village. There are beautiful views from your private area with a hot tub and sun lounges. The accommodation is very comfortable and the team were friendly and very helpful. I would highly recommend this place to enjoy Santorini. Nothing
- Anonymous (10/5): One of the best experiences ever had! The locations and the host were both superb! - Everything was amazing and beautiful
- Edward (8/5): Great place for a couple nights stay. - The accommodation was very clean. Beds were comfortable and the shower and amenities were good.
View from Hot Tub was incredible.
Friendly service and recommendations. Room was quite small, not really space for a big suitcase to open.
Had to go out of our room, through public area to get to hot tub.
- Ege (10/5): Exceptional -
- Yiayia (10/5): Fabulous - Gorgeous traditional caves fitted out beautifully. Walk out the door to restaurants, cafes, wine bar, ice creamery. Mini market 50 steps away. A beautiful village in Santorini. Loved it. I loved everything about it
- L (10/5): Exceptional - The place is located in a beautiful village. It was so beautiful, very relaxing and easy access to local buses and restaurants. Nothing
- Yiayia (8/5): Lovely place, great facilities - Location and the beautiful accommodation Nothing
- Vicki (8/5): Lovely accommodation in a quieter part of Santorini - The apartment was very spacious, with thoughtful decor and spotlessly clean. It has a great location in the centre of the village, with lots of lovely restaurants on the doorstep I was double charged when I booked my room and it took a long time and several emails for the extra charges to be reversed - the amount I received back was less than what I had been charged as the international exchange rate had changed
- Christophe (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stanislav (8/5): Very good -
- Michalis (10/5): Exceptional -
- Saichon (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect location, excellent rooms, nice jacuzzi, comfortable bed. My family and I enjoyed the stay.
- Claire (10/5): We had the best time staying here, made excellent by wonderful breakfast, housekeeping and concierge services. - Very close to restaurants but quiet and nestled in the village of Megalochori. Room was excellent and comfortable and very clean. Nothing!
- Vincent (10/5): Amazing!!! - The Place is too nice and unique
The people is wonderful !!!
- - (10/5): It was amazing - The location was nice and it was always clean the service was amazing and Kimon was an amazing host made everything so much more easier.
- Kivilcim (10/5): Just perfect! - Literally everything, first of all Kimon was super helpful, he made the check in process much easier. He gave wonderful recommendations, and made our stay very special. Our suite was stunning, very clean and comfortable. We were celebrating our anniversary and Kimon helped us make great reservations! The art and wine restaurant next to the hotel was also recommended to us by Kimon, and OMG! You must try their ceviche! We used the jacuzzi and it was clean&hot! The breakfast was delicious as well. Thank you everyone for making our special day so romantic! N/A
- Caroline (10/5): Special Place - This property is very beautiful and really go out of their way to make it special. Very comfortable bed with high-end bedding. It is located in a quaint village. The food at the restaurant next door, Alisachni Art Gallery and Restaurant, is exceptional and should not be missed. It is a change from the more tourist areas like Fira and Oia but you must rent a car to get around. It is a 15-20 minute drive from those areas. Nothing
- Nicole (10/5): the property manager was amazing and kind ! - everything was really perfect! the water in the hot tub was quite dirty and smelled bad.
- Elpida (10/5): Best hotel to feel the traditional vibe of Santorini! - Absolutely brilliant location. In the best traditional village of Santorini! Very relaxing and peaceful environment with extremely helpful staff! Friendly, clean & well equipped! It was a great choice since I wanted to spend a couple of days feeling the real, traditional vibe of the island! It is a small oasis of tranquility on an island that is most of the time flooded with tourists! Elegant, cozy, and amazing jacuzzi!
If I decide to come back will definitely take this again.
- Adam (10/5): Perfect boutique hotel in the middle of a charming town! - Super happy with our stay here! The location is great in the middle of a traditional village next to a blue dome. There were many restaurants nearby, but still quiet.
The hotel is brand new, the suite was stunning with very nice decoration.
The staff was amazing and super helpful. A very warm welcome! They literally arranged everything for us!
Really good breakfast!
Relaxing at the private jacuzzi was the cherry on top!
