3 bedroom villa with private plunge pool
Dionyssos Cave House is a recently renovated and very spacious cave house, partly carved in the volcanic rock face. It is located in Oia, on the cliff peak close to the Venetian castle, where everybody gathers to watch Oia’s famous sunset. Due to its unique location, Dionyssos Cave House offers unobstructed views of the caldera and the volcanoes and is only a 2 minutes walk away from Oia’s main street, where all the restaurants and shops are situated.
Dionyssos Cave House is a two-storey house that offers the ideal comfort and privacy to a party of up to 8 guests. The first level, which is the main part of the house, offers a spacious living room, a dining area and a fully equipped kitchen that also features a Nespresso coffee maker. The two bedrooms are also situated on the first level. Each bedroom offers a double bed and an en suite bathroom. The one bedroom offers two built in couches as well, that can sleep two extra guests. Furthermore, the first level features a terrace with exquisite views over the caldera, which is the perfect spot for having meals while gazing at the view. The lower terrace also features a heated plunge pool, ideal for relaxing while admiring the dazzling sea views ( The plunge pool is not operational from November 1-March 31). The lower level terrace leads to the upper level terrace, via the exterior staircase. On the upper level there is a third independent bedroom with a double bed and en suite bathroom. This bedroom is accessed only via the exterior staircase, which is quite steep, so we wouldn't recommend the specific bedroom neither for young children, nor for elderly guests.
What makes Dionyssos Cave House so unique, apart from its stunning interiors and breathtaking views, is the privacy that it offers, as there are 3 independent bedrooms each one with its own bathroom, but also a spacious living room and 2 large terraces, perfect for group gatherings.
The house offers daily housekeeping service.
The village of Oia is a traditional settlement and it is entirely pedestrian. The village offers a great variety of restaurants, shops, mini markets etc. Within the village, everything is in walking distance. You can explore the rest of the island either by car, bus, taxis or organized tours. There are public parking areas at the entrance of the village, but take into consideration that during high season parking can be challenging.
Upon a reservation’s confirmation the host is always available for any inquiries or pre-arrival arrangements regarding transportation, excursions, special occasions, etc. Staying in one of Nicoletta’s houses, guarantees personalised and discreet service, which allows guests to unwind and have a carefree stay. Nicoletta herself or a member of her team is always available during your stay in order to assist you and ensure you are having an enjoyable holiday.
(IMPORTANT: The plunge pool is not operational from November 1-March 31)

The house is right on the center of every thing. Very close to all the beautiful views. The owner is very friendly and easy to communicate with.
We are enjoyed staying at the house.
Amazing trip to Santorini. Our villa was in a perfect location with an amazing view. The villa was clean and with such hot weather, the AC worked perfectly. Nicoletta and her team were very attentive to all our travel needs.
The the villa and its location were the perfect setting for preparing for our daughter's wedding. The host was very responsive and took very good care of us.
We truly had a wonderful time in Santorini! Great location and the views are breathtaking. Nicoletta is a wonderful host. Her and her team provided top-notch service from restaurant recommendations to airport/ferry transfers, we had everything at our fingertips!
Stunning view with amazing balcony with plunge pool. Great location, convenient to everything. In the heart of Oia. Unique cave bathrooms. Owner was very helpful with planning transfers and excursions.
Had a great stay. Nicoletta was fabulous. Among best hosts we’ve experienced in years of travel. It’s true what they say crowded during the day thanks to the cruise ships but locals are extremely friendly. Everywhere we ate that Nicoletta recommended was really good. Definitely worth a visit. And if we get to any of the islands with her other properties will seek them out. Thank you for a wonderful stay.
Perfect for 6. Especially if 2 are younger and happy to do the stairs up to the top room. Not so bad we could all do it and the view up there is the best. Great views of the bay, sunrise on both decks. In good condition, clean. Great location near the action and crowds but a little out of the way so actually quiet.
My family of four very much enjoyed our stay. The hosts were extremely helpful with all our questions and even set up reservations and excursions for us! The house was very spacious with a gorgeous view and located right in town so not too many stairs to get to shops and restaurants. Some very minor things that could help make the house even nicer is adjusting some of the loose bathroom fixtures and updating the bedding. But certainly a wonderful experience overall!!
The pictures did not do this place justice, the location was perfect and the amenities had everything we needed. We were pleased that the upper porch had easy access from the walking path and not just from the narrow outdoor staircase. Nicoletta ensured that we were met at the port by Chris who brought us directly to our door with the help of staff who brought our luggage. When we were ready for excursions, the team arranged everything that our family requested with prompt communication. We can’t recommend this house and team enough!

Great location, quiet but yet right in the thick of things. We had “instagram central” at the top of the stairs next to the blue domes so we could watch people posing all day, which we all found highly amusing. But the location of the property is just a few steps down so not on the busy path. Very spacious property with two single beds and one queen in both of the rooms so it’s perfect for families travelling . Also accessed via a outside set of stairs is a private room which was perfect for our teen who was sick of us by the time we got to Santorini.
Air con was great and heaven sent. Plunge pool was fabulous. Really can’t fault the property at all it had everything we needed. Perhaps some extra linens kept in the room would be nice. A blanket or two.
Our contact with the property manager was great and she arranged all our transfers with their own driver. She was easy to keep in touch with and very responsive. When you arrive there is no way you could find the property alone, so the porter on arrival was a godsend. There are a lot of stairs in Santorini keep that in mind if you struggle.
Had to use google translate in order to use the washer/ dryer as it was in German. Might need to put a guide in there for the rest of us.
We had a magical trip and this property was great for us.
Great rental, great location, great host.
Loved that info provided at check-in, promptly answered all questions during our stay, assisted with luggage, and more.
EVERYTHING was perfect. The setting, the accommodation, the attention to detail and the communication and welcome. Thank you for making our dream come true for a fabulous time away together.
Our family of 5 had a great time staying at this condo! It was in a perfect location, short walk to the main town. The condo has amazing views - pictures don't even capture the beauty! Nicoletta and her team were fabulous to work with. They respond to questions very quickly. Nicoletta arranged airport transfers which made the trip so easy. I would highly recommend staying here while you are in beautiful Oia!
Wonderfully charming, bright and clean cave house with spectacular views. The pictures don’t capture the dramatic and breathtaking views of the town architecture and the sea. And for being right on a popular footpath it was surprisingly quiet at night. Nicoletta and her daughter Alexandra provided white glove service- porter services and airport transport. Definitely recommend!
This property exceeded our expectations! All of the owners' descriptions and renters reviews were spot on but you just can't adequately describe this home. We greatly appreciated the assistance with our bags, the tour of the home when we arrived, the wealth of information about the island that was provided, the superior cleaning staff and all of the amenities. The location and the views were spectacular! I would recommend this property to everyone!
From the online communication before our visit to unfortunately having to check out after a
week, everything was great. Nicoletta
was prompt in returning answers to our questions before our visit and her or her daughters had everything in place when we got there. All rides were set up and bags taken care of coming and going. The house was beautiful and kept clean daily. The 6 of us had more than enough room and having three baths a huge plus. Can not say enough good things about the whole process.
This property was wonderfully located in the heart of the mountainside viewing the caldera. The vistas were magnificent. The rooms were surprisingly large and very comfortable. Our host was available to assist with our transportation and porter needs. There was a village wide power outage during our stay, but that was not anything the host could avoid. It was not an appropriate property for those with mobility limitations. If you can manage the winding steps to get through the village to the villa you will be well rewarded.

Great place/Great Owner
The Dionyssos Cave House is the perfect place to stay in Oia. The location could not be better with quick access to the village center, shopping, and restaurants. The view is to die for. There are two decks for viewing this incredible view. We were continually pinching ourselves every time we looked out onto the caldera and the gorgeous view. The house easily accommodated 7 adult women. Having a bathroom attached to each bedroom was wonderful. The kitchen, dining, and living areas were spacious and allowed us all to spend quality time together, but also provided space to sit and read, if personal time was needed. As much as we enjoyed the house, the view, and the location, the owner, Nicoletta, is the most incredible of all. One of our party had a health situation and had to be hospitalized. Nicoletta came to our rescue and went to the hospital and talked to the doctors so we knew exactly what was happening. She went above and beyond any of our expectations and found lodging for the daughter of our friend who was hospitalized as they were unable to fly home when planned. They spent an additional week in Santorini and did not have to worry about anything due to the kindness, efficiency, and incredible service provided by Nicoletta. I would recommend the Dionyssos Cave House to any one going to Oia. We will return again someday.
So much to do and very accessible to all parts of the island. It was quiet and yet very accessible. The house was very functional for our group of 6 and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
