The hype
Guests are obsessed with the heated pools and Sofia's service, consistently rating it 9.5+ across platforms.
You And Me Suites
$200-800/ night
Book this if You want the iconic Santorini caldera view and a private heated plunge pool without the crushing crowds of Oia.
Why People Love It
- Every single suite has a private heated plunge pool or jacuzzi
- Sofia, the concierge, is practically a local deity who can secure impossible reservations
- Located in Firostefani—a 10-minute walk to Fira's chaos, but dead silent at night
Quick Take: A legitimate honeymoon heavyweight that trades a proper hotel lobby for killer in-room amenities and arguably the best sunset privacy on the island.
Reviewed by @stephtravelplans: I booked this for a quick 24-hour splurge and wow. The cave suite kept us cool, but hanging out in the private plunge pool watching the sunset with champagne was the highlight of my entire Greece trip.
Guest Who Stayed Here Said
Reality check
A few travelers noted the 'cave' rooms can feel smaller than photos suggest and might smell faintly musty or of paint if recently renovated.
- You refuse to swim in a cold pool (they are all heated)
- You want to watch the sunset from your own terrace, not over a stranger's shoulder
- You prefer a 'host' experience over a corporate front desk
Cleanliness & Maintenance
9.7
- Housekeeping: Immaculate. Daily service is thorough, even in the tricky cave corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. Grout is clean, no mold issues reported in recent checks.
- Maintenance: Excellent condition. Freshly renovated feel, though salt air requires constant upkeep.
- Linens & towels: High quality, plush, and replaced daily.
- Odors & scents: Generally fresh, though cave rooms can have a faint earthy/humidity scent (natural for the architecture).

Room Genie
Best picks
- Sunset Suite: Best for light and unobstructed caldera views from the outdoor heated pool
- Honeymoon Suite with Indoor Jacuzzi: The smart pick for shoulder season (April/Oct) when nights get chilly
Rooms to avoid
- Premium Cave Suite if you need natural light—it's authentic but can feel dungeon-like to some
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“Hi Sofia, we are so excited to stay. If possible, we'd love a suite higher up on the cliffside for maximum privacy on the terrace, and please confirm our plunge pool heating is turned on prior to arrival.”
FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is the pool actually heated?
Yes, unlike many 'plunge pools' in Santorini that are ice baths, these are heated—a massive perk for evening dips.
How far is the walk to Fira?
A scenic 10-15 minute walk along the caldera edge. Flat-ish but paved with cobblestones.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, served on your private terrace. Check your specific rate plan to be sure.
Can I park my rental car here?
No. You must park in one of the free public lots in Firostefani (about a 3-5 minute walk). Spots are scarce in July/August.
Is it suitable for kids?
Technically yes, but the vibe is 99% honeymooners. Kids might be bored and the cliffs are anxiety-inducing for parents.
Is there a gym?
There is a small fitness room, but don't expect Equinox. You're here to hike the caldera, not bench press.
Insider Tips
- ✨
Ask for the 'Private Cinema' experience—they can set up a projector for a movie night in your suite or by your pool.
- ✨
The wind (Meltemi) can be fierce in July/August; the 'Cave' suites offer better shelter than the exposed terraces.
- ✨
Buy wine at the local market and enjoy it in your jacuzzi instead of paying €20/glass at a bar.
5 things to know before you go
💡The 'Cave' suites are literally dug into the rock—great for temperature control, bad for claustrophobia.
💡You will likely see donkeys carrying luggage up the stairs nearby (and smell them occasionally).
💡The public parking lots are a free-for-all; don't leave valuables in your rental car.
💡WiFi can be spotty inside the thick cave walls; rely on 4G/5G if you have a crucial Zoom call.
💡The shower pressure is surprisingly good for an island with water scarcity issues.
