With a prime location overlooking the caldera, this understated hideaway combines traditional features with high-tech amenities. 

The complex of typical 300-year-old cave dwellings retains the original architectural features, (including low ceilings and doorways). 

The 14 individually designed rooms and suites are decorated in soothing, earthy tones, with top-notch beds and spa-worthy bathrooms. The infinity pool is on the small side, but the jaw-dropping views of the caldera more than compensate. 

Run by a young couple with deep roots connected to Santorini, it’s welcoming, authentic and good value compared to rival establishments.
