We had a very enjoyable and memorable stay at Menias Cave House. The property is beautifully located on the cliff, offering stunning views, and we felt it was excellent value for money. Having a kitchen was also a big plus, as it made it easy and convenient for us to prepare meals during our stay. The host was very kind and helpful, which made our experience even more pleasant. Overall, everything was very well maintained and comfortable. One thing to note is that there were quite a lot of ants in the property, which was the only real downside during our stay. Aside from this issue, we would have given a full score. Before arrival, we contacted the host to ask about parking, but did not receive a clear answer at the time, as they mainly suggested using their transfer service. After arriving, we understood the situation better, as the property does not have a private parking area and guests need to use nearby public parking and find a space themselves. We were lucky to visit in April, but during peak season this could potentially be more challenging due to limited parking availability. Also, if you choose not to use the property’s transfer service, there is an additional charge of €20 for luggage handling (for four pieces), as porters are required to carry luggage along the walking paths. The porters were very helpful and efficient. Despite these minor points, we truly enjoyed our stay and found it to be a wonderful and memorable experience. We would definitely recommend it.

we stayed at menias cave with my wife. it was the most beautiful holidays in our life. Elizabeth was perfect. we will come back.
Very nice accommodation in the heart of Oia, undeniably an amazing view of Santorini and its picturesque white and blue buildings. However, we had two main issues with this house. One, there were so many flies flying around and they were a great nuisance to us. I had to kill many of the flies myself to alleviate the problem. Two, one of the nights we were there it rained and the whole house became flooded. However, the host was very nice and tried their best to help us settle in more comfortably. Definitely book here for the amazing views.
The view from the patio is absolutely fabulous! Nice location that is right in the center of town. There are really steep stairs leading down to the house so if you have any mobility issues this is probably not the place for you. The house is spacious for a cave house and the pictures are accurate. It's really nice inside with two bedrooms with queen beds. One room is a nice size and the other is small. The bathroom has a single sink and a very nice rain shower. The tub is big but it's not really a jacuzzi tub. It takes 3 rounds of hot water heater worth of water to fill up and unfortunately the jets are weak but this was our only disappointment with the house. They did install a bigger water heater while we were there which was great. The kitchen was a little cramped and could be better equipped but it was very serviceable. Living room has a big TV but the couch wasn't the most comfortable to sit on but would make a nice single bed. Other than the view, Elizabeth was definitely the best part. She is a super host. She went above and beyond to help us and make sure everything was perfect! She arranged pick up at the port and accompanied the driver even though our ferry was delayed and arrived at 6:30 am! She helped us find restaurants that were open in March and arranged for two winery tours. Special thanks to Mateo for hauling our luggage up and down the stairs. I would definitely stay here again.
Amazing view, very friendly host. We booked the apartment in 2020, the year of the pandemic, and according to Booking.com, it was non-refundable. Since our trip wasn't possible due to the pandemic, the host kindly gave us a voucher; otherwise, we would have been stuck with the cost. Now, in 2021, we can finally take our holiday in Greece and stay here. Best view ever!
