Victoria Caves

“Santorini the Right Way!”

Firstly.. When you hear Santorini, you think of the Caldera Cliffs and OIA. We’ll let me tell you, that it’s highly overrated and not worth it.

Firstly.. When you hear Santorini, you think of the Caldera Cliffs and OIA. We’ll let me tell you, that it’s highly overrated and not worth it. Victoria Caves is in the area of Santorini that’s central to everywhere within 15-30 mins by car. For the other reviews of the Victoria Caves that says it’s close to supermarket by foot and eateries by foot? It is if you’re trying to waste your vacation on walking and dodging cars from hitting you, then by all means, do it. But you need a car here. The good thing is that if you stay here, there’s Free Parking in front. We arrived at night and the staff was great. He helped us with info on the island and helped us bring our luggages into the room. The room was great! My wife and I felt instantly at home. There were a few hiccups here and there, but they attended to them quickly. Tips staying here: Housekeeping is available everyday and you need to let them know. There is an iron board in the room, but you need to request for it when you need it. That’s it! This place was amazing and we’d definitely come back! Shout outs to the 2 guys that helped us out during the night and day shifts. They are Rockstars! If you are debating if you want to stay here? It’s a must!

“The most perfect place to stay in Santorini”

This was the first time me and my boyfriend had been to Santorini and we absolutely fell in love with the place! Our stay at Victoria Caves was absolutely amazing and couldn’t thank them enough for having us. The service we received from the moment we arrived to the second we left was just perfect. The rooms are incredible with a perfect style to them, the terrace pools are beautiful and clean. Staff are super friendly and helpful, the location is perfect, especially if you are wanting to travel around the island as Victoria Caves is very central. Very quiet and peaceful area which was lovely. I would highly recommend to anyone who is wanting a relaxed get away. We LOVED our stay here and can not wait to return.

“Perfect stay”

Location- a little village about 10 minutes outside of Thira. We hired a quad bike and it was the perfect way to get around the island. There is a lovely supermarket (which the most adorable stray dogs often relaxing near by), a gorgeous bakery, a pizzeria etc all about 5 minutes by car 15/20 min … more

Location- a little village about 10 minutes outside of Thira. We hired a quad bike and it was the perfect way to get around the island. There is a lovely supermarket (which the most adorable stray dogs often relaxing near by), a gorgeous bakery, a pizzeria etc all about 5 minutes by car 15/20 min walk from the accommodation. It’s pretty central in the island so it’s really handy to get to everything. Oia about 30 minutes away, Kamari beach about 10 minutes away, lost Atlantis museum about 15 minutes away, Akrotiri 25 minutes away (must see! Greeces ‘Pompeii’) Accommodation- We stayed in room 5. The plunge pool and outdoor space was perfect we spent so much time out there relaxing. Everything was fresh and clean as you’d expect with the accommodation being so new. The bed was comfy, towels and bed linen clean, an nespresso machine and fridge were in the room and a GOOD hair dryer was too. Pool towels were provided and a selection of white company toiletries were also provided. The only thing they could improve was that these were TINY and they didn’t get replaced daily like they usually do in hotels so we ended up running out of shower gel. An ironing board was in the room and we just asked reception when we needed an iron which they quickly brought to us. They use WhatsApp if you need anything and this is also how we ordered our daily breakfast. This was a super easy process and they were prompt at replying. One thing we did notice was that the only mirror was in the bathroom so it would have been handy to have a floor length one somewhere but it obviously isn’t a deal breaker. The AC worked well and the cave rooms are tastefully done. We did notice a few ants when we first got there which I think is to be expected but I sprayed the unit with insect repellent and this wasn’t an issue after this. Breakfast- The breakfast menu was good. The portion sizes were good and it came with a bread roll, a pastry and fresh orange juice. I do think perhaps changing the bread roll for some fruit for example may have been nice as we didn’t eat any of the bread after having the pastry. Due to being pregnant I couldn’t have a lot of what was on the menu due to it containing eggs and feta but my partner said it was all delicious. I ate the Greek yoghurt which was so tasty! There wasn’t any decaf coffee for the nespresso which meant I didn’t have a coffee all week so it would have been nice to have been able to have the option of adding this in for breakfast. Late checkout- we requested late check out which originally they asked for €109 and we paid €90.. a bit steep for a late checkout but we had no choice as we didn’t fly until 18:55 and the quad bike had to go back at 13:00! All in all I would love to return and I would defiantly recommend. The accommodation was perfect, the staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming. We were sad to leave!
