Hector Cave House

Hector Cave House was the perfect peaceful haven, amongst the crazy busy streets of Santorini. The house had everything we needed, the plunge pool was perfect and the whole outdoor area really made the stay! Great location in Oia, every direction you look the view is stunning. Faye was so helpful with recommendations and helping us arrange transfers etc, and thank you also to Dimitris for helping us with our luggage. This place is a special gem, 100% would recommend!

We were a family of 5 (parents and 3 kids 18, 21, 23). The house is long and narrow, but fit us all comfortably. This house is on the pedestrian only path of Santorini so pack light as you need to walk the crowded path to reach your accommodations. It is far enough down the path that it is quieter at the house. It is a magnificent location. The dipping pool is cool, but feels wonderful after walking around all day. And thankfully Faye (our host) helped us arrange transfers to and from the ferry. She was very attentive and helpful, and super nice! The transfers she arranged made life so much easier! And then she had a man meet us at our transfer to walk us to the Cave House. He even helped us with our bags. Much appreciated! We stayed 2 nights which in my opinion is enough time in Santorini.

We recently spent 10 spectacular days at the Hector Cave House on our 6th trip to Santorini over the past 20 years and it truly exceeded our expectations. The apartment was very spacious, extremely clean and well maintained, ideally situated and had an incredible view as well as great seating outdoors and plunge pool to enjoy it. The apartment was expertly serviced by Donna and Demetri who not only did a spectacular job each day but were delightful to talk with. Donna’s recommendations and information in general were so helpful. We also had the opportunity to meet the owner Giannis. We had originally selected this apartment due to the incredible (and accurate) photographs as well as Giannis’ responsiveness to various questions during our booking process. We were delighted to meet him when he visited Santorini from his home in Athens and made the effort to meet us in person. There was literally nothing Giannis and his staff did not anticipate a guest would need. Having stayed in scores of VRBO’s across the US; this was our first experience in one internationally. We were totally impressed with every aspect of our experience; so glad we chose this route versus a hotel and were so thankful we chose Hector Cave House. We cannot recommend it more highly.
