It’s beautiful! The suite is all renovated and lovely. Terrace for coffee and gorgeous view. It’s in Finikia before you get into the ritzy busy touristed Oia center. So it’s quiet and peaceful and you can walk. I adored the nearby restaurant and staff at Krinika.

The bathroom is front of the toilet and there is no barrier to prevent water from flooding the toilet area . The water outlet in the toilet area . WiFi doesn’t work with zero success .The other guests were complaining and horrible owner were saying that whole island the WiFi doesn’t work . I am a handicap and called to send some one to help with luggage and she said she can’t . We asked a stranger to help us . We arrived later in the night 9 pm .The maid came into the room at 10 am and said she needs to clean the room . We asked the owner if we can leave 12 as we came at 9 pm and she started to yell at us saying you all have to leave at 11am . This time we need the WiFi to get the next hotel address and info which the booking didn’t go through . We can’t call a taxi as well . She shouting in Greek so my daughter had to get all our luggage asap from the room. The time was 11.28 . I ask the maid to help me and she said that is not her job and disappeared . One of the guest helped us . This is a hell with WiFi/bath water running in front the toilet and rude and unhelpful owner who has zero customer care .

The property as a whole was great as well as the staff. The location was not ideal as transportation options were scarce as the location was not picked up by taxi/Uber services. The location was not close to the beaches/water or attractions, if you are looking for the “full Santorini of experience”. If you don’t mind being further away from the action and can appreciate more of a local stay accommodation, this is a great option!

We loved our stay here in this cave house/hotel. The location is quiet, peaceful and walking distance to Oia Santorini. The cave house gave us the authentic feel of being a local. The house is clean and spacious. There is a convenience store located near the entrance of the village where you can buy all your basic needs for the trip, and it is also well priced. We also rented a car in Santorini and parking in Finikia was not an issue as there were two parking lot available in the area. All in all, we loved our stay in this hotel. We had a great time. Will definitely consider to go back here again in the future.

A beautiful and peaceful cave retreat.
It was a beautiful environment, peaceful and close to Finikia. I loved the cave design and it felt like a retreat to be there. Walking to Oia was easy and Sophia was super helpful with any information that I needed.

Great Inn in in a Great Location!
My husband and I stayed two nights in two different rooms (we decided to come a day early and the room we had booked for the following night was occupied), and both were spotlessly clean, spacious, comfortable and absolutely charming! The room we stayed in the first night had its own courtyard entrance and provided great privacy, our second night room had a lovely terrace with great views of the sweet little church across the lane and the sea in the distance. We especially appreciated the complimentary breakfast ready to go in the rooms' refrigerators, which meant that we could rise and eat them whenever we felt like it. Heliophos' owner, Sophia, is lovely and and has created a beautiful atmosphere. And I can't say enough about Finikia itself --- it's only a fifteen minute walk to Oia, but a world away. Oia has more spectacular views, but it's also super-overcrowded with tourists and feels somewhat unreal like Disneyland, whereas Finikia is still an authentic Greek village. My advice would be to walk into Oia for the views, but stay at Heliophos Boutique Caves in Finikia for a much more pleasant and genuine overall experience.

Got there late, was dark, the property lady got me an airport transfer, driver asked for too much$50 when we paid $30 same distance to airport on the way back, didn't tell me that i have to pay cash. Driver dropped us off away from the place, in dark we didn't know where to go. Finally got to the place after calling the person who couldn't speak English very well. The property had no air conditioning, was in the middle of nowhere for what i paid which was a lot. Breakfast was two pieces of bread, a little yogurt and tea; all that you have to make so we ate out for both days we were there. I did have one yogurt the first day, for the second day, they did not refil the yogurt or the tea. Went to tell the person/property manager about it but she was very rude and argued instead of just giving a couple tea bags and a small yogurt. Tried the what they called juice which was watered down nasty drink. No i will never stay here again and I would never recommend this place. Charge too much for a cheap nasty place with rude property manager/owner.

This was the perfect hotel. Everything was wonderful and the area was cute. Love the breakfast in the refrigerator. It felt more like an Airbnb or a bread and breakfast. My only complaint was finding the place. It’s took some efforts and asking many people how to get there.

Quiet and convenient
This was our first time in Santorini and we had a great experience. The room was clean and looked just like the pictures, the staff were all super friendly and accommodating. We were able to arrange a taxi to pick us up from the airport and and to bring us back when it was time to leave. The hotel is located in a quiet area but still close to some good restaurants and it's an easy walk to Oia.

Charming boutique cave hotel
Beautifully setup boutique cave hotel, very spacious, with bedroom upstairs, living room & bathroom downstairs..outdoor patio table w/chairs..only minor issues were wifi signal is pretty weak, and hot water in shower is limited, but kind of to be expected on an island as small as Santorini..approx 10-15 minute walk into Oia, kind of long if you have large luggage..charming spot with small breakfast included in fridge/pantry, highly recommend overall!

Enjoyed our stay!
We enjoyed our stay at Heliophos Boutique Caves! We received excellent service (help with arranging transportation and an early check-in) and enjoyed our stay. It’s in a convenient location (a 10-15 minute walk from Oia), with a nearby mini-mart and a couple restaurants. I didn’t realize when booking that it’s not in Oia proper (it’s in Finikia), but this ended up not being an issue since it’s an easy and enjoyable walk. Keep in mind that the property is a little bit of a walk down from the shared parking lot on some bumpy walkways, so pack accordingly (don’t bring ginormous suitcases like we did!) or just be aware. My one complaint is a lack of space to put our luggage and clothes, as well as toiletries. We were in a smaller room (bedroom upstairs; bathroom, kitchenette, and living room downstairs) and we struggled with finding space to put our things. A simple luggage rack would have helped. Overall, it’s a lovely and unique property and we’re glad we stayed there!

We had a fantastic time and enjoyed every minute. The property itself is an event in itself, it is indeed like a little cave house. 15 minutes walk to Oia make it the perfect base to explore from. Exceptional value for money considering the price you'd pay for staying at Oia. The host is very helpful and friendly, the breakfast that was in the fridge adequate. We didn't have big suitcases, but if you have, then the 200m walk from the car park to the hotel will be a little bit of a strain. All in all, a fantastic place and highly recommended!
