    The place is very unique, quiet and with a very local feel. The rooms are spacious and clean. The whole stay was very pleasant and we enjoyed it to the fullest. Super close to the aiport and Kamari beach.

    It was a nice stay. The host was very friendly and helpful. The location is right in middle of the island, so it is only convenient when we have a car. Living in cave is quite interesting experience.

    There was no drinking water available on arrival. We were thirsty after travelling & it was a hot day so we were already dehydrated Had to find water which meant we had to go to a supermarket in kamari. We had to book a taxi to do this. My sister ended up with vertigo & was not well

    The property is a traditional cave house. It was very clean and the courtyard provided a lovely space to relax after a day of adventuring! Aris is an exceptional host- arranging transfers to and from the property, making sure there was water in our room on the first night, and telling us where we could get dinner when our flight arrived late. You will not be disappointed if you stay here!

    Is in the middle of a old village, i won’t stay there more than one night. you have to walk a hundred meters so if you have trolleys is better. The breakfast is basic. The taxi for the place is incredible expensive but I think in all Santorini they are very expensive

    The house is really nice, Greek style and warm ambience. It has a nice little courtyard for breakfast and chill out the room. The owner is very nice. Everything was clean.

    You do need a car or a scotter, because Kamari is round about 50 minutes to walk.

    We enjoyed our stay at Bonita Santorini Cave and Aris is really awesome. He had always an open ear and helped us a lot. It is a quiet place and it was for us the perfect place, not touristy at all. Breakfast was also good.

    It's about 400m uphill with only paved way, with luggages it was difficult to walk up.

    Nice location in front of the blue domed church, and a cave house.

    Bonita Santorini Cave was having a water shortage due to regional water supply maintenance and the Host provided a stay at his other property. This review is about "Bliss Holidays Spot" and we loved the stay. The Hot tub was the highlight of the stay and we had lots of fun.

    The only downside was the internet inside the apartment was slow or hardly any signal but outside the apartment the internet worked fine. Also had to walk like 3mins to get to the property after parking the car but it wasn’t a big deal.

    Property was very clean and beautiful. All the necessary equipments were available such as hairdryer, fridge, cooker, kitchen utensils etc and was able to cook few of our own meals without any problems. Jacuzzi was bonus.

    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.

    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.

    Sleep in a Cave!

    • Family with young children
    • Two-Bedroom Apartment
    • Stayed 1 night

    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!

    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.

    It is a cave as it says in the listing so there are no windows or any ventilation unless you keep the front door open when the weather is decent. The door opens to a common area shared by the next apartment so no privacy. The lobby/terrace is common for 2 more apartments as well as the lounge chairs, tables and kitchen, etc. The access to the cave is through a cobbled road (about a 5-7min walk that is uphill from where you leave the vehicle), so if you have long walking trouble, or if you travel with large suitcases, or if you travel with kids' strollers, etc, it becomes very heavy and at the risk of carrying your suitcase and strollers, etc. Also in the cobbled road, there are dogs and one of the yellow dogs is aggressive so be careful. For Breakfast, you get a list of things such as bread, coffee, cakes, juices, etc(no scrambled eggs) so I consider it as fair and host orders and bring them at the time you mention to the lobby for you. The water is not drinkable so you will need to buy your own water bottles.

    The location is very close to Kamari beach but you will need a car to move around as there is no easy way to get to anything, except a public bus. The rooms were clean and carved into the hill face. The whole area was isolated and steeped in local history while still being minutes from the beach and minutes from the bustle of the rim. The amenities are basic. The amenities are basic. Aris runs the place well on limited budget and hence a very good low budget accommodation, so you get that and nothing more.

    Everything fine. Just to note that transport does not go right upto accommodation. The Cave rooms are cute, however, the cooling takes time and initially it's pretty warm until the cooling stabilizes. The amenities are basic. The breakfast is limited but very satisfying. Aris runs the place well on limited budget and hence a very good budget accommodation .

    Away from the crowd. Very private
