We loved our stay at Lydia’s House. The location was perfect; It had great viewing , was conveniently located and felt very private. The host was great and communicated very well before and during our stay. The host even gave us a souvenir book with beautiful photographs of Santorini.

We absolutely loved our stay at Lydia’s house. The location was ideal for wondering the town. The views are spectacular and the food with in walking distance was delicious. Konstantinos and Nayia always answered our text immediately and took care of everything for us. From the moment we arrived and they carried all of our luggage, to every taxi, to recommendations they were there for us. I would highly recommend this stay!

Great stay

The villa was as described, and the view was out of this world. The area is very busy, as it is right in the old town, but the villa itself is quite private and quiet.

Great location!

Location was fantastic and the service and level of attention of our hosts was over the top! They really helped us make our stay in Santorini very enjoyable! Only downside was that a there were a few small details from the characteristics of the architecture that would have been good to know beforehand and were difficult to appreciate in the property pictures (e.g. the room downstairs was super dark)

Such an amazing stay!

Our stay at this property was truly the best! The hosts were above and beyond helpful. I recommend having them set up a private tour for you with Eugenia. It was a highlight of our trip to Greece. We loved how unique the property was. The view is amazing! The amenities were top notch. I cannot thank you enough!

Awesome View!

We were very happy with our stay! The view was unbelievable and the location left nothing to be desired! Dani was so helpful with checking us in, and was responsive to anything we needed. Everything was taking care of, including the luggage over hard terrain. She even sent a wonderful parting gust to us. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great view and accommodation in the best town in Santorini!

Beautiful Cave Home

Our family of 5 loved staying at this beautiful property. The check in was smooth, Dani guided us right to the vila, gave us a brief tour of it, showed us a map of the area and pointed out various restaurants, points of interest, available day tours, etc. The Villa was well appointed and extremely comfortable. It was nice to have coffee and a few breakfast items provided during our stay as well. The location was ideal, far end of Oia so we could escape the crowds and heat and relax in our cool cave on our balcony overlooking the Aegen Sea yet still close enough to delicious restaurants and beautiful views. I would highly recommend this villa, you won’t be disappointed!

Don't even know where to begin!

It's a cave, y'all! Stay here! Plenty of room. Very unique property. We were concerned about getting our bags to the property with all the stairs and levels of Oia as well as being able to find the place but fear not! Our bags were taken to the villa for us and navigation through town is very easy. Everything was perfect. The hosts are very helpful and responsive.

Friends from MN & Chicago

Great location, many stairs, but beautiful area. Close to shopping, restaurants and attractions. Dani & Team were fabulous and detailed. The 3rd bedroom is in the LL cave, not ideal but it worked for just sleeping quarters. Amenities were sufficient, coffee, waters etc. No outdoor pool as many do have. Stunning views overcome all objections. I would highly recommend this vrbo only bummer was the 3rd bedroom not being ideal for adults( kiddos may love it though).

What a special opportunity we had staying at Lydia’s House! It is so unique and the views are spectacular. I had amazing help from the home’s concierge staff (Nayia and Constantino). Nayia suggested things to do while we were in Santorini and helped to schedule our catamaran cruise and massages. She also recommended a wonderful restaurant in Fira to eat at on our way to Oia from the airport. It was easy to communicate with her and Constantino through WhatsApp. Constantino met us and helped us with our luggage as it was a little walk to get to the home (there were stairs involved). Such a unique place! We loved the rooftop area. And I appreciated the small touches like the hair dryer and ironing board. If you ever have a chance to go to Oia, Lydia’s House is an amazing place to stay.

Cave house in Oia

If you are looking for the true Oia experience, this is it! Lots of stairs up and down to get here (they have porters to help with luggage), but once you arrive, you will find a unique cave house that stays cool even in the heat of August with three big beds plus a couple of daybeds where it is possible to sleep. We were a family so fine with the open plan. Dani and Naiya were such great hosts/travel guides/counselors which really elevated our entire Santorini experience. From restaurant recommendations and reservations to a wonderful guide at Akrotiri to our highlight—an afternoon and sunset on a private catamaran, they just made everything so easy for us! They kept in touch via text too so we could ask little questions in real time. We really appreciated this extra level of personalization rare in a VRBO rental. You will not regret staying at Lydia’s House.

Santorini paradise

We visited along with our 3 children, all in their early 20s. Host communicated very well and ahead of our arrival. She made arrangements for our transfer to and from the home. After arrival host provided her contact info to assist with any other needs/arrangements while there. It is a beautiful, very spacious, immaculately cleaned cave home. Porters carried our bags thru the steep narrow stairways to the home and at departure too. Location of this home is perfect with view of the Agean sea from the front porch area and private deck area on top of the home. It is far enough north that very few day trip visitors come by, unlike the shoulder to shoulder crowds nearer the city center, and yet it is no more than a 2 minute walk to the castle ruins/steps to ammoudi bay or from one of the beautiful blue top churches. My family ranks this as tied with our other all time favorites. Worth paying the extra for this gorgeous location and attentive hosts!

Beautiful location and views, Clean, Spacious and Friendly Hosts

The staff who helped as hosts for Lydia's house were excellent! They helped us arrange transit from the airport, there was a gentlemen who helped to carry the luggage, then Maria made sure that we had a map of Santorini and helped us book any excursions that we wanted to participate in. The house itself has 1 King Size bed, 1 Queen upstairs, 2 twin beds in the basement, and 2 additional single beds on the main floor. You could potentially fit at least 7 people in this house. There are 2 full bathrooms and a kitchenette. The house is charming with it's cave like style that is the norm in Santorini. There is a small indoor pool. Daily cleaning services are provided. The kitchen is stocked with a bowl of fruit, bread, a bottle of wine, water, juice, tea - they are so generous! The rooftop provides you with stunning views of Oia, especially during sunrise and sunsets. We were very happy with our stay here. Lydia's house thought of all of the details to ensure that their guests have a worry-free and enjoyable stay!

Amazing place to stay!

Vrbo: if you’re going to do Santorini, you need to do it right. This place is an absolute gem. The scenery alone is worth every dime spent, but it’s also in the middle of great shops and restaurants so you don’t have to go far to enjoy yourself. 100/100 recommend.

Honeymoon in Oia

We had a fabulous time staying at Lydia house for our honeymoon in Spring 2019. We were greeted (despite arriving late at night on a Greek holiday!) by the hosts and given assistance with our bags. Our room was beautifully prepared, even stocked with a few snacks for us. One of the hosts came the day after we arrived to give us an overview of the island, gave us some maps and also some recommendations and what to do and where to go. Hosts were extremely helpful and easy to contact throughout the trip. The location is great, close to shops and restaurants and not far from parking. The room was nice and clean, and the view was stunning. We were so happy with our time in Oia, best part of our trip!!

Peaceful cave home in busy Oia

Lydia’s house is a beautiful cave home with a great view of the Caldera. The service was very good and it lacked no amenity. Open concept wasn’t ideal for two couples traveling together, but the gorgeous property made up for it.

We had a great time at this property and Panayiota was the absolute best host/property manager!!!

Panayiota and a gentlemen met us at the shuttle to take our luggage and guide us to the our villa. The villa was in the perfect location, just off the busy pedestrian walkway and was quiet and secluded. The property was well maintained, clean and had basic supplies stocked as well as a bottle of wine! Panayiota gave us several great restaurant recommendations and helped arrange transport, etc! I highly recommend staying in this property or in one of the others that she manages. For a great gyro and greek salad (our cheapest meal) go to Pitogyros and for ice cream- Lolitas!
