The view is amazing, it doesn’t see the sunset but it’s just a step away. And honestly, we prefered the view from our property anyways. Dana and Dimitris so helpful and welcoming. The room is really clean and full of offers from the house.

Ryan United Kingdom

Everything ! The view is absolutely amazing The support from Anastasia, Dana and Dimitris is perfect, and they have been so nice and helpful with us and our 2 babies. The location just few minutes from the center of Oia is amazing The appartment is really cool, can stay fresh when it’s really warm outside and really clean. we definitely recommend.

Margaux France

Amazing views of the Caldera and the volcanoes. Great terrace area and pool to enjoy the views from. The cave house was impeccably presented inside & out. Perfectly situated just a short 2 minute walk from the centre of Oia and many restaurants. The hosts & hector cave house housekeeping team were incredible, extremely helpful and knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble for them from arranging various activities and even doing some grocery shopping at our request ahead of our arrival. We'll definitely be booking again.

Daryn United Kingdom

Best place to stay in Santorini, amazing view, perfect location and a secluded spot which can be rare to find in Oia.

Tom Belgium

The location is amazing. It's in the heart of Oia. Very close to the bus station (7 minute walking distance) which easily connects you to Fira and elsewhere. So many great dining options surrounding you. We stayed in the Nest Studio and we had a great time. The place is fully private with a separate entrance and, unlike a lot of places in Santorini where people can see you from higher levels, this place was the first one at the top so really no one gets a view of you at all. The view is honestly terrific and the plunge pool is an add on (it's at room temperature so was perfect for summer). Dana and Dimitri were extremely friendly, they helped us from the drop of point with our luggage and provided us with a cellphone with a Greek number to call them if we ever needed anything. Very friendly people and rides that are arranged through the are very clean and comfortable. The place itself, while tiny, is extremely clean and very well equipped with everything you'll ever need.

Mina Canada

Amazing room with uncredible views to the caldera. 100% recommendable

Benjamin Germany

The stay was like a dream. Thanks to Danna it was just like home, but with better view. :) I can only recommend this place.

Irena Bosnia and Herzegovina

This place is a dream come true! From the hospitality to the view!!! We were blown away by the incredible service, the sunrise pool view and overall the privacy you get. It way really perfect!! Danna, Gianis and Dimitri did everything in their power to make us feel welcome. The pool which is private is also heated, which was perfect for those cold windy evenings. We will 100% stay in this place again. If the Luxury cave is available dont think it twice and book it!!!!

  • How good is the sunset view
    The Hector Cave House lies a few steps before the old castle in oia Village which is considered to be the best sunset viewing spot. But there is no sunset view from the Hector Cave House. There is Caldera/volcano view which is even better in our opinion!
    Asked about: Hector Luxury Cave • Answered on 24 September 2019
  • Is there a shuttle available to get to the closest beach nearby? What are the other transportation options?
    There is local bus transportation available. Oia Village bus station is 5 minutes walking distance away from home. Renting a car or ATV can be rather convenient if you wish to explore the island and visit beaches that are worthwhile visiting.
    Answered on 10 September 2019

Hi there, I am Giannis, 37 years old and I grew up in Athens. After studying and working abroad (UK and Switzerland) for 5 years,I decided to come back in Greece and work for a family business. In 1998 my parents visited Santorini Island and they fell in love with Oia village where they bought those picturesque cave houses… Since then all about my summer vacations is to lay back at that terrace and admire the spectacular view. Traveling is to share… There is no better way of doing this, other than sharing the experience with other travelers. Of course I will not lose any chance to discover unique destinations like Santorini around the world…
Hector Cave House, Hector Luxury Cave and Hector Caldera Nest are carved into the unique caldera cliff for more than 250 years and were totally renovated during 2016. They are located in the center of the old part of Oia village a few meters away from the Old Castle with breath-taking views over the Caldera cliffs
