PERFECT LOCATION FOR YOUR HOLIDAY!
The cave house is in the heart of Oia. Very close to the center and away from all the hustle and bustle of the main street. ‘SUNSET TERRACE’ consists of three villas. The Sunset Apartment, Sunset Studio and Sunset Cave.
The "Sunset Apartment" has one bedroom with traditional style double bed & a canopy and a living room with a large, comfortable sofa bed. There is a kitchenette, the bathroom features a shower and there is a spa bath.
The "Sunset Studio" has a double bed, a kitchenette, an indoor spa bath in a cozy little room and a nice, modern bathroom with shower.
The "Sunset Cave" has one bedroom with a queen bed, a kitchenette, a bath with shower & a private outdoor hot tub (Jacuzzi) up to 37 Celsius! The rooftop and outdoor garden are very peaceful and beautiful. There are 3 levels at the rooftop terrace of the sunset cave house. The 2 levels (80 m2) are used by the guests of the house. We offer daily service so it is expected that our personnel will come to change the linen and wash them in the washing/drying area.

Our top-mattresses are made of combinations of natural rubber, seaweed, goose down, virgin wool, pure cotton and eucalyptus. Seaweed emits iodine to soothe respiration and eucalyptus lends its seductive fragrance. All the materials together, unified, interact and create ideal sleeping conditions. They “embrace” the body, ensuring that even the smallest curve is fully supported. Linen are silk/cotton and towels are of the best Egyptian cotton.
The location of “SUNSET TERRACE” is suitable for our guests to reach the main places of interest of Oia in a minute! Oia, this beautiful village carved into the ash of the volcano more than 1,500 years ago, will receive you in one of its original, traditional cave houses, the SUNSET TERRACE cave house. People here dug their houses underground or into the cliffs to be protected from the wind, the cold, the summer sun and especially the earthquakes! This kind of architecture makes the village a unique place on the planet! Sunset Terrace, because of its singularity, has to be preserved exactly as it was originally!
PERFECT FOR YOUR FAMILY OR GROUP OF FRIENDS!
The cave houses are recommended for one, two or even three families or groups of friends. If you want to get away to relax, write and just enjoy the life of Santorini without feeling like a tourist, SUNSET TERRACEis ideal.

It is also 2 minutes’ walking distance from the Lounge Cafe Pool Bar “Lyogerma” and 10 minutes’ drive from the three beaches that are near Oia.

TRADITIONAL APARTMENTS
Where history and tradition meet the comforts of today

In the heart of old Oia, this magnificent village carved into the volcanic ashes more than 1,500 years ago, at one minute walking distance from the center and away from all the hustle and bustle of the main street, the SUNSET TERRACE Cave House offers you the essence of Santorini’s experience: tradition, comfort, relaxation, and the opportunity to witness the world-famous Oia landscape and sunset in the privacy of your own roof garden/terrace.

But what makes the SUNSET TERRACE Cave House so special, apart from its location and its unique architecture, is the history woven into its atmosphere, carved into its walls.

In the old times, the people of Oia dug their houses either underground or into the cliffs, to be protected from the harsh winters, the scorching summer sun, the earthquakes and the pirates who dominated the seas. This kind of architecture –truly bioclimatic before the word “bioclimatic” was even invented– makes the village a unique place on the planet! And SUNSET TERRACE is one of its original, traditional cave houses, with its rooms arranged around the courtyard, in the traditional way the houses and the palaces were built in antiquity.

SUNSET TERRACE was built in 1827, six years after the beginning of the Greek revolution against the Turks. Throughout the duration of the revolution, people fought hard against the Turks and the pirates, and at the same time strived to build a roof over their heads to protect themselves and their families.

With the severe earthquake in 1956, all the houses built above the ground, even those of the richer people, called kapetanospita, collapsed. Sunset Terrace and other cave houses did not suffer any damage at all! In fact, it was in this very house that its owner, who was then the Mayor of Oia, received Konstantinos Karamanlis, Minister of Public Works at the time and later Prime Minister of Greece, who had come to the island to inspect the very difficult situation after the earthquake. Actually, the meal offered to the Minister that day in this house consisted only of fried eggs. This meager meal shows thee dire condition of the island after the earthquake, and it was served on the very table that still stands in the house’s dining room!

This is the legacy that makes SUNSET TERRACE so special. And for all these reasons, all renovations were made keeping in mind that it has to be preserved exactly as it originally was! So come and be a part of this cave house’s history, enjoying all the comforts and splendors that it has to offer.
