Messaria House | Bioclimatic Cave House - Vothonas traditional village

2 Bedroom House in Messaria, Βοθωνας

A traditional cave house with 2 bedrooms in the traditional village of Vothonas. The village is situated in the centre of the island about 3 klm from the nearest beach, 2 klm from the airport / 8 klm from the port and 4 klm from the capital of the Island, Fira Town. Minimal decoration with traditional touches, it has a fully equipped kitchen with fridge, washing machine, dish washer, oven, microwave, coffee maker, toaster etc. It has 1 bathroom, a living room with a sofa and a built-in seating area and a dining table.

Nearest public parking area is 80 meters away. Access to the house is only on foot as you need to walk through the narrow streets of the village. Cave houses are characterized by their ability to preserve a stable interior temperature throughout the year (bio-climatic).
The property is ideal for relaxed holidays for serenity-seekers and peaceful memorable moments, in one of the most popular holiday destinations in the world. It combines the unique quietness of an isolated Greek village, only a few minutes drive from the buzz of the well-known Santorinian towns, full of life and energy.
Either you are planning a family holiday or an escape-trip for two or even a get-away with good friends, the all-time classic cave house combining the comforts of a modern apartment, will definitely make your holidays unforgettable.
Since it is up in the village, a private transport mean is necessary, either a vehicle or a motorcycle.
In less than 10-minute walking, you may find one of Santorini's famous steak house restaurant 'KRITIKOS' and the Koutsogiannopoulos winery in another 5-minute walk.
A ten-minute drive will take you either to a family-oriented beach 'Monolithos' or driving to the opposite side the famous 'Kamari' beach with black sand and many restaurants, beach front bars and tourist shops.

Summary: Thank you Ms. Alexandra for being a great host! I cannot thank you enough for arranging our transportation to and from the port, scheduling our rental, providing all details for the activities around Santorini and helping us communicate with the professional photography company. Our 3rd year anniversary celebration was flawless because of you. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your gorgeous comfortable home that had so much more and everything we needed. For other guess: our stayed was (22-24 September) were tourism was at a lower peak. July/August/1st half of September is super crowded and cannot imagine driving a car during the peak of tourism season. This is an amazing cave house tucked away in a quiet village away from busy streets and tourist crowds. I used one of the two bedrooms but the cave house will easily accommodate two couples with two teenagers. There’s plenty of room for everyone and the pictures do not do justice to this beautiful comfortable home. Living room, Kitchen, fridge and bathroom were immaculate and Super clean. Outdoor patio was cozy, comfortable and private. Santorini streets are narrow and while getting a car is convenient an ATV was the safest perfect solution for the crowded busy streets where parking was quite difficult. With an ATV the cave house is 5 minutes away to the Caldera’s sunset parking spot, 5 - 10 minutes away from mini markets, 18 minutes away to Santo Winery, 25 - 30 minutes to Fira and 40 -45 minutes to Oia. We enjoyed the ATV rides around the island, how close we could park to our final destinations and filling up the gas tank with 8 euros in 3 days of riding everywhere. The ATV had a storage box to accommodate some of my shopping items so a backpack was a great addition. If you stay in this cave gem you will need some sort of transportation to get around. If you bring large suitcases be mindful that you will have a 40 - 50 meters walk uphill and stairs, but worth it. Everyone talks about the sunsets in Santorini but the sunrise in this gem private terrace was stunning and romantic! If you like privacy, peace and quiet after a busy day shopping and walking in crowded Fira and Oia then this cave is perfect! for you!

Summary: We had an amazing time in Santorini and our stay in this Cave Home was a big part of it! Our host, Emma, gave us several great suggestions about activities and places to go and even arranged several of them for us. The home is in a quiet area and perfect for getting an authentic experience. There is plenty of room in the home and the kitchen is super convenient for breakfast and snacks. We were able to walk to some restaurants and a grocery store. I highly recommend staying here!

Summary: What an amazing property and hosts. Alexandra and Emmy are gracious and helpful hosts, as was the rest of thier family. The local residents of Vothonas were equally as welcoming and kind. The house itself is well appointed for the perfect home away from home. The property is beautiful, clean, and represented well in the property photos. We enjoyed dining alfresco on the patio in the evening, and coffee on the rooftop terrace in the mornings. The village is as picturesque as you would imagine, so do take time to walk the village and enjoy the lack of crowds. The cave house is in a traditional village, away from the busier tourist areas, but centrally located on the island to make all areas easily accessible. I do agree with prior reviews that a car or transportation is a must; however, most tour groups (we did a wine tour and a catamaran tour) offer pickup at a nearby hotel which is also walking distance from the property. Thank you again Alexandra and Emmy. "The girls" throughly enjoyed our stay, and I know I will most certainly be back.

Summary: We were so impressed with the Cave home. It is exactly like the pictures, but better!! It is hard to describe how unique and beautiful this place is from any vacation home we've stayed in all our travels. The owners, sisters Emma, Alex and Anna (off site) were so gracious and accommodating during our stay . You will not be disappointed . A must try. Thank you again Rob and Eleanor Canada Note: if you rent a car , which is a good idea to see ethe island, make it a small one. Not much space in the parking lot.:)

Summary: Lovely lovely space and truly enjoyed the charm of this one of a kind home. ONLY one item that I would say was disappointing - the location as it relates to the city and other high lights of Santorini. A car or a mode of transportation is a must for the bus system in Santorni is overworked. We were so fortunate that we had an amazing driver Nikos that gave us pointers and helped us get to where we need to go . Otherwise we would have felt stranded. A better understanding of transportation a MUST that needs to be added to the description and finding the place is very difficult. Again Nikos came to our rescue!

Summary: We loved the property! It was very quiet. I could see myself having meals on the patio. Great proximity to the beach. We only had a short stay but were very happy. It is a bit out of the way but Nick was amazing at getting us to the hot spots on the island. I would definitely recommend! Also would recommend hiring Nick during your stay!!

Summary: Excellent time for family of six. Appreciated having transportation arranged. Made it very easy and hassle free for us. Also great to have a supermarket within close walking distance. Would definitely return, and recommend to others.

Summary: Alexandra met us at her cave home after we were picked up at the airport by a transfer she coordinated. Despite it being 1:30am, she spent time with us & told us about the home, things to do & see on the island & recommendations for the restaurants. The home is breathtaking, unique and has all conveniences or a modern home with a feel of peace and rejuvenation! Kitchen is well stocked and grocery market is close by. We got around the island on ATVs, which were instrumental to getting around the island and safer than a car - if you get a car I would recommend a small car. We spent time touring Faro, went to Ia for a sunset and dinner, went to the monestary & lookouts and spent a morning on Sunset Oia catamaran - gorgeous! The catamaran went to the hot springs red and white beaches, snorkelling and we had a delicious lunch on board! Alexandra coordinated all of these tours for us and every person/experience was Extraordinary! We so appreciated the bottle of wine as a welcome so we could have a drink upon our arrival. The patio & rooftop terrace were so lovely and added to our experience when we were at the home. Much rejuvenation! Vothonos & the cave home provide such an experience but are close enough to everything else you would like to see. We went out dancingbone evening to Two Brothers bar in Faro & again had an incredible experience. We were incredibly active but also had some soul rejuvenation time!
