Wrong booking
On the date checking in. House keeper will tell you not to do this, not to do that. For example, do not splash water from swimming pool… I guess she doesn’t want to clean it. would complain you delay her routine….( we waited for a while to get the taxi they arrange for us). she will makes you feel you have done so many bad things to her…..miserable house keeper. Horrible experience for the money we paid.

The perfect property for an incredible stay on Santorini. Dana and Dimitris were just the best at making us feel comfortable and helping with any questions that we had. The view was amazing and the deck was perfect. The location could not have been better. All in all we give it a 10 out if 10. Tom and Jane

Wonderful stay in perfect location!
We had a wonderful stay in Oia, and such a perfect location in the middle of the pedestrian walking area of the village. Fantastic views from the patio to enjoy every evening. Owners and Dana and Dimitri were a great help in all aspects, and in meeting us for arrival and departure. Definitely recommend this home.

Best stay, location location location!
We had a great time at Hector’s place. The communication was super easy with Anastasia and quick and the place looks exactly like it does on the pictures. The neighborhood is very conveniently located and although it’s a lively neighborhood the apartment is very quiet! Would absolutely recommend to stay there!

Amazing Place!
I can't say enough good things about Hector Cave House. You're located in the heart of downtown Oia, within walking distance of everything the neighborhood has to offer. Giannis was a great host and very proactive with providing information and taking care of our needs. The pool is amazing. It's hard to describe how beautiful looking out over the Mediterranean in your private pool can be. I highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking in Santorini.
