卡利亞洞穴酒店 - 限成人(Callia Caves - Adults Only)

This is a really nice apartment with an amazing view. A large living space, nice main bedroom with massive hot tub, and a beautiful loft bedroom with ensuite and access to the balcony with some of the best views in Santorini. Great location in Fira that makes you so close to everything, but noise not a problem at all, even with a restaurant only metes away. Outdoor living area as well as the balcony give you 2 options for dining from home with the Caldera view. I am not sure why there are so few Tripadvisor ratings, I think this is just a hidden gem. Host Matthia is so helpful also. If you have mobility issues the loft may be difficult but outside of this, difficult to fault.

We stayed at the Callia Caves in Santorini for 3-nights in early-June (€413/night). We had the 2-bedroom grand cave suite, set shotgun-style into the hillside with the windows and patio doors at the front. Located in the pedestrian-only area near the edge on the caldera, it was fronted by a walkway leading to the restaurant in front and another a bit further down the hill, so few others passed in front of our patio. Be prepared, though, for a 200 m walk over cobblestones with your luggage, both up and down stairs. The apartment had a huge sitting area with a long couch and chairs, a kitchen with a small food preparation area and large table with 4 chairs. Despite being a cave, the front doors and windows let in plenty of light on both floors, creating an airy Greek island feel. At the back, the 1st bedroom was large with plenty of clothes storage, and made huge by the adjoining hot tub (really a deep plunge pool) and 2-sink bathroom with shower. The hot tub was a pleasant place to relax after a day's activities or after dinner, but tended to create humidity and a slight chlorine odour (probably due to keeping the AC off during the cool weather). The front patio had a large table and chairs (and a clothes drying rack), although we didn't use it other than for breakfast because the view was obstructed by the restaurant. A steep, narrow staircase led to the 2nd bedroom (we left our suitcases downstairs), another large room with a second bathroom (the sloping cave walls made it necessary to stoop at the sides of the room). Its best feature, though, was the upper patio. A window seat had been opened up to lead to a large deck with 4 seats and a beanbag chair. And the views! Not quite panoramic (part of the restaurant roof sticks up), but the view of the caldera was stunning. A great spot for afternoon or evening drinks. The included breakfast, ordered from a menu and delivered in cardboard boxes at a selected time, consisted of a selection of hot items plus baked goods and orange juice (the kitchen was fully stocked with coffee, milk, etc.). Unfortunately, the hot food was usually cold and not particularly tasty. Our hostess was great. She arranged for our port pickup, met the taxi on the road, recommended and made restaurant reservations, and responded quickly to every question and request. Overall, a nice splurge in Santorini; the only negative was the breakfast, which I would expect to be better at this price.

We have just returned from a spectacular weeks holiday in Callia Caves during the first week of November 2023. We stayed in the smaller of the 2 Caves suites(both suites are next to each other) for 7 nights. The apartment is perfect for a couple and well laid out, the balcony and outdoor hot tub are perfect for those sunset moments. The location is perfect for all touring of the island and has easy access to all that Fira has to offer. You are located next to plenty of great restaurants and shops and the great thing is there is no through path past the apartment which gives it that secluded feel. You are close to the bus depot which has regular transport out to all part of the island. There is a small but perfectly laid out kitchen which we used to cook for one evening but it is only for that purpose really. Matthia was a perfect host and was there upon our arrival and talked us through what the island had to offer and was in contact with us regularly which was great. We were pretty independent during our stay but we did feel she would sort anything out for us. Although it was towards the end of the season there is still plenty of places open during November to get great food or souvenirs (although its all pitched at the Cruise Ship guests and can be pricey) We would definitely stay there again as it suited our needs perfectly.

Matthia was outstanding! She greeted us and talked to us about everything Santorini and kept in contact throughout. The unit is great for a couple and very Santorini! Great courtyard and even better the balcony through the windows from the bedroom. Views, well simply stunning! Italian restaurant across from the unit was amazing so pls go here one of the nights as sunsets and food, service awesome and then just open the gate and walk in your door so have another couple cocktails! Highly recommend you stay here with Matthia as the ultimate Santorini experience! ❤️🙏🤙👏🇬🇷🥂

Great location
