Twin Cave House - Oia

Twin Cave House is a recently renovated authentic cave house, partly carved in the volcanic rock face. It is located in Oia, on the cliff peak close to the Venetian castle, where everybody gathers to watch Oia’s famous sunset. Due to its unique location, Twin Cave House offers breathtaking views of the caldera and the volcanoes and is only a 2 minutes walk away from Oia’s main street, where all the restaurants and shops are situated.

The cave house consists of two adjacent rooms, each one with its own entrance, but also with an interconnecting door. The first room features a double bed, a basic kitchenette and an en-suite bathroom. The second room is more spacious and offers a fully equipped kitchen, a dining/living area and an en-suite bathroom . The room also features an open loft with a double bed. Furthermore, the couch can be prepared as a single bed in order to sleep a fifth guest. Both rooms' doors lead onto the house's idyllic terrace that overlooks the endless blue of the dazzling caldera. Twin Cave House can comfortably host two couples, while offering them privacy, but is also ideal for families, or groups of friends.

Wonderful stay in the heart of Oia
If you want to stay in the heart of Oia, this is the place to stay. You are literally steps away from one of the most famous photo backdrops in Santorini. Depending on the time of year, it can become a very busy spot. The twin cave house was exactly as described. We were two adult couples that shared the twin cave house. In one of the rooms the bed is in a loft and you need to climb up a few stairs to get to it. The loft only contains the bed. Both rooms were very clean with small fridges in both. The bathrooms were both a good size and very clean. Nicoletta was a fabulous host and was very quick to respond to all my questions from the time we booked right up to our stay. She also arranged transportation to and from the port.

Sweet Cave House
We are a family of 4 adults (including 2 adult children) and had a wonderful stay at the Twin Cave House. The space was perfect for parents to have separate bedroom/bathroom and each of the kids to have their own sleeping area. Location was excellent—in the heart of everything yet quiet. Nicoletta arranged our transfers and porters to carry our luggage. She was also very responsive to any questions. AC worked great, which was a definite plus in July!

Santorini Dream
This stay and this property were AMAZING. Nicoletta took care of absolutely everything - helped arrange transport from the ferry port upon arrival and then back to the airport to depart, and I was especially thankful for the assistance of the porters to help move our luggage. The property itself was perfect for our family of 4 (w/ two college-aged children). When you see all the photos on the internet of the beautiful town on Oia on the cliffsand the blue domed churches... well, that is exactly where this property is located. other people lining up for their prized photos basically right down the sidewalk from this property. Can't beat that. Easy walking distance to many restaurants and shops, very close to the post office if you have lined up an excursion (boat trip, etc) - which is where most companies pick up from. Bathrooms were great, and they even had a top of the line Marshall (wireless) speaker to use when listening to tunes while gazing out at the Aegean-blue waters. Incredible stay at an incredible place... we sincerely hope we can visit again one day in the future.

Perfect location in Oia and a great host!
Location Location Location! Very few steps the cave house. Located right next to one of the blue domes, yet still felt the private. Alex is a great host who met us at arrival. She set up all of our transfers as well. What a great bonus to have concierge service. Provided beach towels and wine. Also provided juice and other breakfast items. The bathroom product were of very good quality. Top notch hosts. So far the best we have experienced in Greece. We were a family of four so having three beds and two full bathrooms was great. The view from the balcony was beautiful. Enjoyed having breakfast and night wine there. Bonus: They drivers told us, the family running the airbnbs are great family. The cave homes have been in their family for several generations. We love to hear employers being good to their employees.

Best choice of Oia location
We loved our stay in the Twin Cave Home! It was right in the heart of Oia and was close to everything we wanted. After visiting Fira, we were so glad we stayed in Oia and this home was very authentic and worked well for us. The hostess was very helpful and responsive. She really helped us with transfers while on the island. The company she referred us to was wonderful as well!

Oia - Cool cave houses
The twin cave houses are an awesome place to stay in Oia on Santorini! Nicoletta, the host, was great with communication. The place was perfect and cozy for our family of 5. A few things… right around the corner from these is one of the most popular photo spots, so there are a lot of people there all the time. The stove is sub-par… so cooking should be kept to a minimum. Finally, our initial towels were great, but the second set we got was not as nice and there was some confusion in exchanging beach towels, so we were short these on a day. All minor things, and we would definitely recommend this house.

A place with a view…
The twin cave houses are exactly as presented on VRBO. The houses give you the unique experience of staying in cave with a great view of the caldera. Nicoletta, the proprietor, met our taxi and facilitated the transport of our luggage, which was a godsend being that Santorini is a labyrinth of small walkways with numerous steps. Santorini is a must see. We found it to be as spectacular as all the pictures and videos show. Having said that, what we did not expect, was the wall to wall people that made getting around a pain. While there I read an article about some tourist cities limiting the number of tourists and Santorini was on that list. I certainly understand why.

Beautifully clean, modern and central cave house with stunning caldera view.
We would highly recommend this property. Our family of 5 stayed comfortably in the spacious 2 bedroom home. The bathrooms were huge and beautifully done. The beds were super comfortable. Everything was immaculately clean, The view was magical. We spent hours having drinks and meals on the front porch and looking at the caldera and enjoying the sunset. The place was well equipped. Nicolleta was excellent to deal with and responded very quickly to any questions or requests. She arranged a number of transfers for us which were very helpful and she was always super friendly and efficient. The area is quite busy as it’s the #1 place for photos of Oia but it was easy to get from there to everywhere. Shops and restaurants right at your doorstep. We loved our stay. Thank you to you and your team for unforgettable memories Nicoletta!
