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.

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.

Great location

Wife and I decided to stay here for our honeymoon stay. It had a great view of the caldera and was close to a great sunset spot as well. I'd highly recommend this area for a stay, it has great value considering how much other spots cost around it. Two thumbs up!

We stayed in the 2 bedroom Villa and it was excellent. Can’t beat the location, right on the main drag, and it had TWO balconies- top balcony gives almost 360 degree views. This was amazing for sunset drinks and the view- BREATHTAKING!! The apartment was handy to a bakery and local supermarket as well which made buying provisions easy. Also, a huge thank you to Stavros who was there to meet us, explain the apartment, and he also helped us with our bags. Such a lovely guy- he just wanted us to have the best experience in Santorini and we certainly did. He also remained with us on the last day to make sure our departure transfer turned up. Stavros is such a kind and considerate man. The only minor negative was that the shower water pressure was not very strong at all. We imagine water is a precious commodity on the island so this may be why the water pressure is not so great. This was only a minor negative and would not stop us staying at Genesis Cave houses again as it’s such a beautiful villa. We have unforgettable memories of our wonderful stay on Santorini and we loved your villa/apartment. Thank you again Stavros and George.

The property is nice however the standard room was a bit too small even only for 2 people, but we can cook since there is a kitchen. The donkey stool was terrible when you walking around outside the property however overall for me is OK.
