This beautiful Cave House is a real "Love Nest", unique & idyllic. Every single hour of the day & night is magnificent from the romantic veranda of the little villa! The panoramic views from the patio are breathtaking! The blue dome church of St Nicolas, the Medieval Castle of Oia and the amazing sunset view is just a couple of minutes walk from PARADISE cave house.
Enjoy lying on the mattress on the bench in the evening viewing the lights of the cities on the top edge of the Caldera and gazing at the sparkling stars and moon in the dark sky.
Escape to a Greek paradise in this beautiful house built into the volcanic rock on Santorini! Situated in the old part of Oia, it is the ideal accommodation for a vacation of tranquility & recreation. The private outdoor hot tub for 2 persons is facing the Caldera and it offers the best choice for a romantic get away. Its sculpted rock architecture is unique and it has been beautifully decorated with inspiration and care by its owner, Maria, a Greek sculptor & painter.The villa is 25 steps away from the main pedestrian road and 2 min walking distance from shops, restaurants, galleries, bus & taxi terminal.There is a free parking place 2-3 minutes walking distance from GREEK PARADISE Cave House. It is 7 minutes drive from the beaches.
The villa has a master bedroom with a queen bed and a living room with a double bed and one single bed. There is a fully equipped kitchen, a private shower-room & a veranda with panoramic view to the Caldera.

Maria Oikonomou: 'This cave villa was constructed ages ago in the traditional manner of the people of Santorini at this time. They were dug into the volcanic rock so as to be cool in the summer and warm in the winter. This is bioclimatic architecture. I have artistically decorated it and also updated the villa to protect against humidity. The panoramic views from the patio are breathtaking! Enjoy lying on the mattress on the bench in the afternoon and evening and viewing the lights of the other cities on the top edge of the Caldera. In the evening gaze at the sparkling stars and moon in the dark sky. The house, located in the old part of Oia, is like a love nest, small but unique and idyllic, about 60 m2 in size. Every single hour of the day and night is magnificent from the romantic veranda of my little villa! I welcome you to my villa and the beautiful island of Santorini'.

Your "Cave winery" in the depths of GREEK PARADISE!

In our efforts to provide our guests with a truly one-of–a-kind island experience, a special space has recently been created deep in the interior of Greek Paradise cave house to provide our guests with a unique, cozy area to relax! This inner "nest" fits up to 4 people.
This second cave is in the depths of GREEK PARADISE cave house, off the bedroom. It is 2 meters under the level of the house allowing for comfortable temperatures throughout the seasons. Its round shape and its location deep down in the heart of the volcanic land will heighten your sense of calming contentment and fulfillment!
We have designed this space in the style of a Capilio, an old, traditional Greek tavern! After a day of exploring the island, lounge on the cushions & pillows and sip local wine to re-energize yourself! The wine, presented in an oak barrel, is homemade by an old islander from his grape vineyards in Oia. The wine is made and offered to you with love! Candles and a selection of music are also available to complement this romantic setting. We hope the cozy ambiance will add to your cave dwelling experience. Just enjoy!!!

Perfect Paradise in Santorini
The cave house is in a wonderful location and has everything you need to have a wonderful stay in Santorini. You can’t beat the location - right by the Oia shops and restaurants and an amazing view of the caldera. Maria provides breakfast items and wine which can be enjoyed indoors or outside on the patio, and quaint/fun decor including twinkling lights in the bedroom! Our only complaint was that we only booked 2 nights - it would have been wonderful to stay a week or longer.

What a wonderful girls trip myself and my two daughters had. We spent 5 days in this location and love bed it. The building managers were phenomenal they helped us with everything including restaurant recommendations, island tours, catamaran tours. The village of Oia is beautiful and the service was fantastic. We felt absolutely safe and comfortable as three girls and Maria checked in on us everyday.

Think Twice
It is hard to know where to start with this review, especially since I have never written a review like this before. We booked this house after an extensive search. My two young kids were really excited about the hot tub, and my husband and I were excited to sit on the front porch to enjoy the view while the kids enjoyed the hot tub. We checked in and, to our dismay, the hot tub was taken apart - it clearly wasn’t going to be working during our stay. Nothing was communicated to us. I immediately called Maria (who said she was driving and would call me back - which was a theme during our stay). When she did, she claimed the hot tub had just had an issue the day before and that she had arranged for us to use the hot tub next door one day and a different one the next day. While we were glad to have a back up, neither of these were the ideal quiet stay at our own place with our kids. I also wanted to give Maria the benefit of the doubt that the issue just arose, but the lack of communication and numerous excuses throughout our short stay made me think otherwise. Not to mention, the patio was dirty, paint is peeling and Mis-matched, the bedding is uncomfortable and itchy. The place needs a lot of TLC, and the nightly rate is not worth anything near what they are charging. Maria offered us a small discount, but no where near what should have been offered to compensate us for all of the issues. Unless the place is sold to new ownership, I would not stay here.

The location was perfect
We enjoyed the experience of living on the cliff side. We misunderstood the use of the key in the holder so we were confused about the power (it will go out after 2 minutes if you take it out). This seems to be a all of GREECE thing to conserve energy (and is a great idea) but being our first visit we were too naive to know that and too tired to catch the instructions after 27 hours of travel to retain it :-) Thanks for a GREAT stay.

Wonderful traditional cave house, minor issues
If your looking for a traditional cave house this is wonderful. I delt with the manager for registration. I expected her to bring us in to property but it was a guy, he was very nice, didn't understand everything we had asked which was okay. We had asked the manager to have the hot tub hot before we arrived, we paid extra to have the hot tub for our 3 day stay because we were out of season, but it was cold when we arrived. The guy said it would take 4 to 5 hours it took 24 hours till it was hot. Minor but not super happy because I had asked ahead to make sure it would be hot. Another minor issue, we had no eggs and no milk but plenty of cereal ... went to corner store to purchase milk and eggs. Also it was booked for 3 people but the caretaker only had enough towels for 2 people, he did find 2 smaller towels to make it work. Again these are all minor things. This is why I gave 4 stars. Great view, with in walking to restaurants, mini markets, and stores.

Paradise Indeed
The Santorini Paradise property certainly lived up to the name. My wife and I found the property to be perfectly located along the caldera cliffs in Oia. Our host Maria, was incredibly helpful and responsive. The cave house provided a truly unique venue and we really enjoyed the way the house naturally maintains a comfortable temperature at both day and night. The house is compact, but the space is efficiently organized and very comfortable for two adults. The town of Oia is also a great location to use as the jump-off point for exploring Santorini. We found the public buses to be crowded but functional. The buses run frequently to Oia and can be used to connect to Fira, and by extension, the rest of the island. If you are visiting Santorini, I strongly recommend this property.
