Aris Caves was unbelievably gorgeous. We loved our stay! Our unit was beautiful, clean, quiet and comforting. We had our own balcony area with an amazing view. It’s right in the middle of Oia close to everything. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Christina was extremely helpful and supportive throughout our trip. It was a spectacular vacation!

The hotel is beautiful and the views are stunning. It’s the perfect place to stay in Oía to relax and get way from the crowds. The host, Christina, was very welcoming and at our disposal if needed. Highly recommend!

This was my second stay at Aris Caves. Beautiful apartments right in the centre of Oia town but nice and quiet down the caldera away from the noise. Amazing views from your own terrace where you can sit and relax. Staff all very welcoming and helpful. I would stay again if I return to Santorini.

The hotel was amazing. The jacuzzi on the outdoor deck with the incredible view was a highlight. Christina and the entire team were outstanding. Aris Caves is also perfectly located in Oia, everything is so close. We went to dinner at nearby Flora for our daughter’s 16th birthday and it was excellent. Could not recommend more highly!

We had the most amazing experience at this hotel. The terrace had wonderful views and it was the perfect location. Cristina was the best hostess and assisted with car rental, activities and restaurant recommendations.
Silvia, 4-night trip

Had a lovely stay. Apartment was very central but when Oia got busy you could escape back down easily to some quiet. Had an amazing view from my own terrace. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Will stay again if I visit Oia again.

This is an amazing property. Location is amazing, views are spectacular and the hospitality is A++. Christina is the most amazing hostess and makes you feel so at home. We have traveled to 50+ countries and stayed in so many hotels, this was truly memorable.

8/10 Very good

We absolutely loved our stay at Aris Caves. Christina was an incredible host. She arranged taxis for us, got us anything we needed during our stay, and answered any questions we had. The facilities are extremely clean and the air conditioner worked great. The location of this property is perfect with shopping and restaurants close by. The view is incredible! There is not one negative thing I could think of about this property. You will not regret booking at Aris Caves.
Meghan, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property. The view was amazing. Room was very cool- spacious, clean. We were welcomed and catered to.. including delicious, homemade snacks when we arrived. Only thing to point out is that it is located down several steps-- totally fine for my teenagers and me... but may be an issue for people with mobility issues. It was everything we could have dreamed of for our Santorini vacation!!
Kelly, 3-night trip

This hotel is located in an amazing location. The view is priceless, the hotel really quit, the manager was excellent! Really polite and helpful. I will definitely try to go back to the same hotel.
Carlos, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We came to Aris caves for our honeymoon, we booked the room with the biggest patio (#8) it was well worth the money, a view we will never forget. The room was beautiful, hot tub amazing, views to die for, and quiet and private. Christina the host was amazing, very helpful and insightful. Would definitely recommend taking up the hotels suggestion for transportation, it is not easy to find without guidance. Warning there are a lot of stairs, but totally worth it if you can manage them. Plenty of places to eat near by. We highly recommend this hotel, hoping to be back one day to celebrate an anniversary :)
GURSHARON, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The weather was terrible during our stay… but our suite was a comfortable, serene haven. Perfect for dining in, card playing and relaxing. Everything about the room was upscale: decor, luxurious bedding and bathrooms. When the fog lifted the view from our private deck was simply stunning. Christina was a fantastic hostess, and the porter service was a welcome addition- considering the 110 stairs from the main road to our room. Well worth the hike.
Maribeth, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel as advertised. You must go into this experience knowing that there will be A LOT of steps and that breakfast is not included. We expected both of those so were very pleased.
Daniel, 3-night trip

Amazing stay in cave
Loved the Aris Caves room we had and the staff. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. The room with private hot tub was huge and had everything we needed. The little touches such as homemade bread, wine etc was very special. The Porter who helped with our luggage was very much needed and appreciated. Thank you to Christina and her staff.
Margaret Anne, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

As expected from others reviews, this property deserve a 5 stars review, the views are jaw dropping! The cave is really nice will all amenities needed for you stay, Christina will respond to your message very quickly and will answer any question you may have, we stayed at the Patari suite and it was very large and comfortable with a nice hot tub overseeing the Aegean Sea, overall great property and staff will definitely recommend this place, in the heart of Oia, look nowhere else , you won’t regret it
