Guest Reviews

• Caroline (10/5): - A wonderful experience. Exactly what we pictured- even better actually. Very convenient, and staff was lovely.
• VIDYANAND (10/5): - Very good
• Kirsten (10/5): - What a wonderful experience at this lovely property. The unit is very well equipped and the million dollar views are jaw dropping. The manager Yannis is very responsive and provide a flawless check in and check out experience. We hope for a return visit !
• Rosa (10/5): - Great property, location, staff.
• Byeong Seon (10/5): - Property located in prime location. Very close to famous Blue domes. Property manager, Mr. Yannis greeted us near post office and escorted us to the rental unit and helped with our baggages. Excellent ocean view unit. You need to expect a bit of up and down steps to reach the property from Main Street so it is not ideal for handicap accessible. Great experience. Would come back to stay.
• Prakash (10/5): - Amazing stay
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The house is very clean and view is super nice. The owner is also very friendly and informative. I enjoy my trip a lot and for sure will stay here again when I come to Santorini. Strongly recommended!!!
• ching-chun (10/5): 整體很滿意 - 房間很棒，在稍微隱密的地方，不會讓來往的人直接看進去內部，當然代價就是出入要稍微走點樓梯，但我們覺得是可接受的。接待的小哥有幫忙扛行李，還推薦了一些餐廳和景點，非常親切。可惜有時半夜會突然停電，撇開這點，一切都很滿意。
• Arvind (10/5): - A
• Jui-Chi (10/5): - Super easy to access to all the beautiful point. A bit noisy from the running water above, probably the structure. Nice and friendly staffs. Big thanks to Yannis and Johnnies for helping us moving the luggages.
• matilde (10/5): - Beautiful views
• Nikolaos (10/5): 10/10 - Just perfect
• Verified traveler (10/5): - El apartamento espectacular, una vista inolvidable! La persona que nos recibió estuvo atento en toda nuestra estancia, nos conseguía tours y transporte enseguida. También muy buena comunicación con el dueño del apartamento. Hicieron que nuestra estancia en Santorini fuera increíble. Excelente!!!!
• B (8/5): Pleasant Blu Blanco Cave House - Accessibility in the apartment we stayed at was not that easy.Drop off and pick up points are at the post office where someone kindly picks up your luggage and walks off. You have to be pretty fast in a very crowded street with lots of uneven steps and pavements to keep up and follow him to the apartment. So in terms of accessibility,The location is more suited to younger people. Otherwise place was very clean and had all the equipment for a short and comfortable stay. Website said safe included- didn’t see any. TV was not working. Owner Elvis and luggage person co ordinate very well.
• CatC (10/5): - The property manager is super attentive, he is easily reached and can accommodate many services. The beds are comfortable and the facility provided a bottle of water, wine and juice to us. However the stove isn’t clean and therefore we are not able to use it without setting off the fire alarm. The only drawbacks to the location is that there is a construction right in front of the patio and therefore you are not able to get a picture with white washed dome.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Nice Cave House in Central Location - Place is centrally located to all the good sites. Transportation is close if needed. The staff is great and will help however they can.
• Michelle (2/5): - Having traveled extensively I have been lucky to have had generally great travel experiences, unfortunately this was not one of them. The host of this place,Sophia, was very responsive and warm during the months leading to our stay. We arrived in Santorini and a porter took us to the Villa and then all communication halted. The villa was was not the two bedroom, bright beautiful airy villa (Blu Bianco) that we had booked. Instead it was a one bedroom and rather dark place but with still beautiful outdoor areas. We were told that the change was due to construction. The main reasons we booked this place was because it had two bedrooms which would have given the three of us ample room and also because of the washing machine that was absolutely necessary since we had been traveling for 2 weeks. But there was no washer which made for a very uncomfortable 5 days. The villa was quite lovely on the outside but not what we were expecting at all on the inside. In addition to the lack of space, there were no areas to store our clothes or hang anything. My daughter had to sleep on the couch instead of have her own room. The place was crammed and the stay uncomfortable. To add to that we had some strange neighbors that constantly hung out in our "private" outdoor areas taking pictures of us --and themselves--and intruding into our private space blatantly and constantly. So Bizarre. All in all it was a horrible experience.
• Sandra (10/5): Amazing sunsets! - We visited in March which is a quiet time for the island. The house itself is wonderful and has the most amazing view. It is in a perfect location to watch the sunset and explore the rest of oía as you will be right in the middle of the most enviable location ! It is very easy to get to and spacious enough for at least 4 people.
• Ling (10/5): Wonderful view of the sea and sunset from hotel - Amazing stay. Love the cave house. Marios was a great host and ensured that we have a comfortable stay. His hospitality was great and we recommend this place! Best view of Oia, we love it!
• Elizabeth (10/5): Winter stay in Oia - A really idyllic place - literally the stuff you see in those iconic Santorini photos! We loved our stay. The two-bedroom set-up was perfect - twin beds in one, double in the other. There were extra towels and bedding. The portable radiator was excellent for our late December stay, and the overall heating worked perfectly as well. The porch provides a breathtaking, peaceful view of the sea and the rest of the crescent-shaped island. My 12-year-old son adored the play station. Wifi was dependable. Even though it was a cave house, we still got a good amount of light inside. Climbing the series of steps to get to the cave house only enhanced the experience of being in Oia. We would not stay in ANY other part of the island!! Staying at Blue Blanco made our Santorini experience very, very memorable.
• Monika (10/5): Wonderful Cave House! - This cave house property is amazing! Wonderful accommodations and a view to die for. Our host Sophia was very helpful and arranged transportation from the airport for us. She also had a nice bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived. I would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend this place.
• Mark (10/5): Great location, friendly people, loved it - Would recommend and hope to return. We had a great 6 days
• M.A (10/5): Cute cave house style place to live in Oia. - The good: 1) provides cute and traditional experience of living in a cave house in Oia 2) beautiful caldera views right from the balcony 3) very nice and gracious host Sophie who kept in constant touch with us in case we needed something 4) excellent location right under the two blue domes of Oia. If you want to have Oia as your base this is a great location bang in the center 5) hosts provide a porter to take your luggage back and forth to the transfer taxi, which is a very big deal considering the stairs in Oia. We were a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids) staying for 4 nights and it was a great experience for us. We loved being in Oia right in the thick of all the action, and the views from the balcony is oh so amazing. Plus, there is a washer to wash clothes (which is a big deal according to my wife) The "bad" depending on what you want from your rental: 1) this is a traditional cave house style place, so if you are expecting super luxury this is not it. 2) if you have an issue walking up and down steps it will be tough going to and fro from this house since you have a lot of steps to navigate. But this is not really a caveat about his house, but about Oia in general -- it is on the sides of the mountain and so has lots of cobble-stone steps.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Great location - The cave house is very conveniently located. The host was also very helpful and treated us to a free breakfast at a connected restaurant. The house is pretty comfortable. Only the bathroom needs a bit improvement. You need to hold the shower head the whole time to take a shower. Also the bathroom/toilet is a bit far from the bedroom.
• Brielle (10/5): Highly recommend - I went on a week vacation here with a friend. Beautiful location. Sofia was overly accommodating. She helped us with organizing activities and transportation. If we needed anything she would respond immediately. She became a friend! I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else. I normally don't write reviews, but this deserves one!
• Shannon (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Oia for your family! - We had an absolutely wonderful stay!!! The owners were helpful, accommodating, and friendly. Before, during and after our vacation, communication was very easy and any email was always promptly addressed. They arranged our transportation from the airport, picked us up at our meeting point and helped carry our luggage to our cave. They were amazingly friendly to our children and took a real interest in making us all happy. The views are picturesque and the balcony private. Every single morning we woke up after a quiet slumber to the beautiful sunny and uninterrupted views of the sea. I highly recommend this for families. We prepared breakfast each morning in the kitchen and often brought dinner back to the balcony for our own private dinner with a view. You will not be disappointed if you stay at the Blu Blanco Cave House. Thank you so much!
