The Mardanza was truly a special place to stay with amazing views and a great central location. A short walk to hike to Skatos castle and the church below the castle. There are also very good restaurants nearby. Our host provided great recommendations including a “bakery” that delivered everything you could want including groceries. I would highly recommend

Magical Views
We met our host right away and he was awesome and aleays avaible if needed. The place was very comfy and unique. Loved the patio and sundeck. The views were the best ever. The only issues i could say were somewhat annoying was that the cable tv never really worked very well. But, besides that the place is a must stay

Incredible
I can't say enough good things about our stay here. Marinos was incredibly helpful at every turn and all of his recommendations were spot on. The property itself is gorgeous, the view is amazing, the location is perfect. 10/10 would stay again.

Amazing!
I cannot praise Marinos enough, Mardzana house is just perfect! Marinos arranged out transfers and met us near the house and nothing was any trouble for him at all. If we needed anything he was on it straight away. The house is beautiful in a great location with amazing views. We have had 2 weeks of total relaxation. Rosa came in to clean every day and she really looked after us. The location was great for us with only a 30 min walk into Fira which was great going but quite a task getting back as all up hill but worth it! Eating out was easy I cannot recommend La Maison enough it is a must to go up as the setting Is sublime. Overall Mardzana Cave house has been one of the best holidays ever!!!

Beautiful
Beautiful, comfortable property with high end decor and finishes. Everything you need. Wonderful patio with amazing views. Very helpful owner. Easy walk with a few stairs up to the street and good restaurants. The only draw back was that there is a major pedestrian path that runs just below your terrace. Lots of walkers during the day, but quiet and peaceful at night.

Best vacation ever!
If you have never vacationed in Santorini you must go and stay in the caldera at Mardanza cave house. Marinos, your host, provides better service than we have ever had on any vacation. His house is stunning and the views are breathtaking! Marinos arranged every transfer and dinner reservation for us. He is truly fantastic, as is his house, and I would give 10 stars if I could. This is a must stay! We definitely will be back!

Spacious villa in excellent location
We would highly recommend this villa! We stayed here with our family of 5, for 4 nights/5 days in June and it was very clean, comfortable, and spacious. The location is excellent — superb view and right in the walking path. Marinos was a great host, leaving us a phone in case we needed to contact him and giving us fabulous recommendations of things to do while in Santorini. He helped arrange our transfers from the port and to the airport, and even gave us a complimentary bottle of delicious wine from Santo Wines Winery upon arrival. We would definitely stay here again in the future!

GENIAL
Appart hyper bien située décoré avec goût coin jacuzzi un vrai bonheur à l'abri des regards idem pour la terrasse du haut avec une vue grandiose sur le volcan
Notre Hôte Marinos est charmant et vous donnera toutes les explications souhaitées sur l'île les incontournables....autres points d'intérêts.
Parfait pour un couple et 2 enfants ou un couple et 2 amis.
L'île est très humide le soir
Petit amélioration avoir un peu plus de vaisselles type saldier ou petit coupelle
Je vous recommande donc vivement ce séjour et cet appartement au mois de Mai temps et monde idéal
