Great location with breathtaking view from the balcony. Stavi met us at the property, super kind and helpful. Bed was comfortable, internet and ac in the room. Small bathroom, but they are cave houses 😊Housekeeping comes daily. Lots of shops and restaurants near by. (Make sure you have comfy shoes, steep stairs and lots of walking 😉)

Small and comfortable with daily cleaning. Not too close to the bustle and a short walk to shops and restaurants. I would recommend only for those comfortable with numerous uneven steps to and from everything. Not really equipped for cooking, but small fridge and water kettle. Lovely view.

We had a fantastic time, the cave house had everything we needed and more. Eva was great at communicating with us and very helpful with giving us recommendations for restaurants, things to do and even the history of the island. We absolutely loved this place, the view was so beautiful and tranquil and yet we were so close to the main tourist areas. When we came back in the evening it was so lovely chilling in the hot tub with a glass of wine while watching all the boats coming back and the sun disappearing. I would highly recommend the cave house and would love to come back someday.

The property was neat and clean. Had all amenities needed for a family. The location was fabulous and very near to the famous Oia blue domes. Opposite view was blue sea. The host of the property Stavi was very helpful and friendly. She gave us the ideas what to see and how to get to those locations. All in all I would highly recommend.

Baby had a horrible time!

Our baby had the worst time. There were insects in the house, and the bedsheets were not washed properly. His face had two reactions on each side. The property and location is great, but the cleanliness could be better. Also, a lot of steps to the apartment. So make sure your knees and back are in good shape.

The property was nice and centrally located to explore Oia. We had a nice time, could watch the sunset and the sun rise from the balconies. I would have appreciated a bit more communication and support with questions/logistics. We figured things out on our own in the end, but support would have been appreciated in the moment.

Vue magnifique

Le lieu est idyllique au coeur d'Oia. Le logement est typique de Santorin, et le petit balcon est parfait pour prendre son café face à la mer. A noter la gentillesse de Victor qui a pris nos valises et nous a indiqué le chemin jusqu'à l'hôtel. Je recommande Genesis Cave Houses pour un séjour à Oia.

Warning! pictures not accurate on all rooms

Warning! When we arrived at the property there was no hot tub even though it clearly shows one in the pictures of the villa we selected, I let the owner know who just said we can move to a different apartment which does have a hot tub so we agreed but this turned out to be 15m walk away and didn't have the caldera views, although the place was very nice we felt that the first day was wasted and stressful and that the pictures need to be more accurate for the correct rooms. I spent £200 a night to have to be moved around and it was so hot we needed the pool/hot tub to cool down.

Best View, Best Host!

The property has a breath taking view of the volcanic caldera and is situated in the heart of Oia city. The best part was George, the host at the property who helped us with our tourist plans and also helped with multiple other things, including airport transfers. The property is very clean and very accessible. Perfect recommendation for anyone’s Santorini visit.

It was beautiful and spacious! The property would have been perfect if it had had 2 bathrooms. Also, a few bottles of water or some nourishment would’ve been super helpful! Also a list of local places open on eat in the low season would’ve been EXTREMELY life saving! The cell phone provided was amazing! It was so helpful. Location was perfect! A summer stay would be amazing at this location but not necessarily in the winter time. Would stay again!

Wonderful sea views and great location in Oia. Manager George is very friendly and helpful. Views from the windows and two balconies were fantastic, looking at sunrise and sunset over the sea everyday! Bathroom is pretty modern and cool. Strongly recommended! Also this apartment has parking lot at back. it's very convenient. In Santorini, we saw several people carried heavy luggage to climb many steps before they can find their hotels (some hotels are not car accessible).

We had a lovely stay at Genesis Cave house. The views from the terrace are outstanding, probably the best on the island! The downside of this is that lots of people want their photo taken there, but it can be quite amusing watching all the posing! It’s perfectly placed for all the many shops and restaurants. We enjoyed visiting Amoudi Bay; walking up and down the 220 steps nearly finished us off so we got a taxi the next time (15€ each way) we’ll worth it to sit by the sea and eat some lovely seafood. You can catch a bus to the beaches on the island and this is easy and very cheap. Stavros was very helpful and booked taxis for us. He gave us a mobile phone so it was easy to contact him. I definitely recommend this as a great place to stay.
