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.

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!!!

There is TV, wi fi and telephone in the house (You can only receive phone calls or call only in Santorini for free). In the little cupboard there are some pharmacy aids.

Oia cave house stay

We had a wonderful time staying in Maria’s cave house with beautiful views of the caldera and Oia. It was perfect for 3 of us on a girls trip. The location was amazing - so central to all of the activities in the town. I would highly recommend this house.

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.
