Dandy Cave Villa - Romantic Private - Waterfall Pool - Hot Tub -Up to 8 People
Dandy Cave Villa is a traditional Cycladic villa with 3 separate, side-by-side caves – one by one are very unique , in a private, walled courtyard like an old Greek neighborhood, with pebbles and a wonderful waterfall - jacuzzi. It is also a "subcave" - half is inside a rock in the earth and the other half is visible on the same level as the yard. It is clearly the highlight of the yard.
Also, in the same area of the courtyard there is a large table with chairs, two large wooden benches, a coffee table and chairs. It has everything you need to be able to enjoy the sun, the stars, the rain, the summer breeze, at all hours of the day and night.
Visitors' opinion is that they find it both charming and sensual. We think this will be your cool "secret" on hot summer days for ultimate relaxation. Here we suggest to take a selfie and if you want we will be happy to tag us on social media.
For any visitor who has in mind to be in Greece, in Cycladic islands, in famous Santorini, staying at Dandy Cave Villa is the ideal choice. It is certain that here you will experience romantic moments with your partner, friends or family. It is imposed by the erotic aura of the island.
Let's come to more practical matters: The villa is 160 sq.m. which means comfort and luxury. We would suggest that you also take a "look" at the photos, the facilities and see the aesthetics and functionality of the house.
What we love to showcase is the beautiful, private atrium - courtyard that looks like an old Greek neighborhood and is the focal point of the 3 caves. You will be happy to smell the fragrance of the flowers, the atmosphere, to be caressed by the breeze and enjoy your coffee next to the hidden jacuzzi.
On the second level of the courtyard - you will see an open terrace - there you can admire the incredible view of the magical Aegean.
As we described above, there are 3 different pits in the row, one on the surface of the yard, another a little lower, which are 42 sq.m., 23 sq.m. and 85 sq.m. each. Special case of house with picturesque, traditional, authentic architectural elements.
Let's take you on a mental tour of the first basement: in front of you is a fully equipped kitchen, a cozy corner with a corner sofa - double bed and small tables for the ideal gathering of friends. In the same area there is a minimal bathroom with a shower. And here we have a surprise for you: a sensual, Moroccan corner we have created for you and your partner, in which there is a heated hot tub!
And we proceed to the second cave (23 m2) where is a bedroom with a double bed and a gold painted bathroom with thick ropes falling as a curtain instead of a door. This space can accommodate up to 2 people in love.
And we come to the third cave, (85 m2), which has a bedroom in Moroccan style with a super double bed, a small kitchen, a secondary open space bedroom with a double mattress (1.40m x 2.00m), a super huge & exceptional bathroom with two shower seats - so that the couple can enjoy their bath together!
The amazing thing about this space is that it stretches 40-42 meters straight but inside the earth.
There you don't understand either winter or summer, day nor night. Time stops here… As you can see you are faced with the choice of choosing a hidden gem. The whole setting is idyllic, made only of natural materials, it creates a special atmosphere... 1001 Arabian nights! It will captivate you and give you happy moments that will become beautiful holiday memories.
We think we have the right to say, that we are the ultimate romantic retreat!
We give it to you with love, because we believe that you deserve it!

Super unique place to stay but PEFECT for a family. Very close to a Emporeio, the beach’s and many great things in Santorini. About a 8 minute walk to the parking lot but well worth it!!

Quirky cave villa
We enjoyed our stay in this cave villa and exploring Santorini’s landscape and history. Our representative was really helpful and friendly recommending some great restaurants and days out.

Misleading
If you believe you will rent a tiny hatchback and drive up to the property, you will not. You can rent an ATV or hike your way up and down each time you leave or return.
If you believe the photos indicate a place that is absent a moldy smell and with regular hot water, don’t be misled; there is indeed a moldy smell and irregular hot water.
If you want a property manager who responds to: “this isn’t what we had in mind, we will look for somewhere else to stay” before even completing the check in process in any manner other than with a Cheshire grin, look elsewhere.
Although we booked and prepaid a Saturday to Saturday stay in this location, we only stayed for an initial few days until we could find other accommodations. We chatted back and forth with the property manager via WhatsApp, but no attempt at reconciliation was made; instead, she was most interested in getting the keys back as early as possible such that she could attempt to re-rent the nights we’d already paid for. No refund was offered. You get the idea.
Bad location, inaccessible, not well appointed or entirely functioning, and an indifferent property manager.

Amazing cave house
We had a wonderful stay at Dandy Cave Villa! It was such a unique experience to live in a traditional earth house. The place was beautiful and exactly like the pictures. It was very comfortable for our family of six. We especially liked the courtyard area for relaxing, but unfortunately the hot tub was cold so we weren’t able to enjoy it. The villa’s in a bit of a remote location, about a 10 minute walk to the bus stop in Emporio. The roadway up to villa is very narrow, so we wouldn’t recommend driving here yourself. Transportation had been arranged for us and the driver was very skilled at manouvering the narrow roads. Overall, we had a very enjoyable time here and would highly recommend it. And a very special ‘thank you’ to Vera for meeting with us at our arrival, arranging transportation and giving us some very helpful information about the area and things to do.

Beautiful and peaceful tucked away accommodation
Dandy Cave Villa - beautiful with everything you need to make your stay comfortable and relaxed. Tucked away in peaceful location with a pleasant walk to Emporio town centre. Short drive to the beach, Fira and the airport. Lots of supermarkets and bakeries. Comfortable beds for sound nights sleep. Property manager Vera very helpful. Really enjoyed our stay.

Santorini the best
The property is well maintained and very welcoming for a family. The division into three separate spaces offers a lot of privacy. Check in was easy. The only negative aspect is the parking that does not exist and is complicated even in the access road.

Außergewöhnliches Wohnerlebnis
Die Dandy Cave Villa ist etwas ganz besonderes, vor allem, wenn ihr tolles Interior Design liebt. Die Räume sind liebevoll gestaltet, irgendwo zwischen Griechenland und Orient. Der Innenhof mit der kleinen Jacuzzi-Grotte ist toll und Achtung: Unter dem Tisch ist ein Holzkohlegrill versteckt!
Nicht alles erklärt sich von selbst (Zufahrt, Warmwasser etc.), aber die Agentur und die Eigentümer, die in der Nähe wohnen, helfen buchstäblich Tag und Nacht!

Endroit hors norme absolument charmant
Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce lieu magique et charmant qu'est la Dandy cave villa. Si les photos rendent bien compte du décor elles ne peuvent traduire la magie de l'ambiance, de la lumière ... Les lits sont très confortables (qualité rare en ce lieu) et si le prix est élevé, il reste compétitif pour Santorin.
Très bon contact lors de la réservation et très bon accueil sur place.
Nous étions 3, 2 dans la chambre principale et 1 dans la chambre secondaire. La chambre principale est équipée comme un studio avec 2 couchages, 1 King size 2 places et un petit 1 à 2 places ; coin repas, salle d'eau, petit coin séjour. La deuxième chambre dispose de sa propre salle d'eau et est indépendante. Une troisième excavation contient la cuisine /séjour.
Le patio et son spa (quelques buses) taillé dans la roche ont été très appréciés et utilisés.
Emporio est un très joli village typique.
Côtés moins positifs (mais faisant partie du folklore) : il est très compliqué de garer un véhicule à 4 roues et les 200 derniers mètres environ doivent se faire à pied. Par ailleurs, cela va sans dire, une maison troglodytes n'est pas conseillée aux claustrophobes ...
Nous recommandons cet endroit sans réserve :-))
