History


Description

Located on the island Santorini, on the caldera of Oia, this four cave houses offer a panoramic view of the caldera. The cave rooms have barrel vaults, with irregularities caused by the manual digging. They are painted with white paint, like the typical Greek houses are outside. The antique furniture completes the serene atmosphere.

There are three different hotels, all under the same management. The main Hotel is Alexander's Boutique Hotel, which offers regular above ground rooms. Alexander's Traditional Cave Houses has three cave rooms, and the newest addition Alexander's Cave House Villas has three cave villas. They are more comfortable and more expensive. Cave House Villas have a terrace, a private entrance and panoramic views of Oia.
