Deluxe Cave Suite with Infinity Pool

What are the “cave houses”?

The cave-like houses are carved into the rock of the Caldera, a building technique that has been used in Santorini for centuries. It was primarily developed to ensure natural coolness during the summer and warmth in the winter. At Santonero, these cave houses have been renovated in a way that beautifully combines the authenticity of the past with exceptional contemporary design.

Description of a Cave suite at Santonero

Entering a Cave Suite at Santonero feels like stepping into an earthy sanctuary, where everything is sculpted with gentle curves: the walls, the ceiling, even the furniture seem to emerge naturally from the rock. The silence is almost absolute, with the thick walls completely isolating the space from any outside noise.
The decor is minimal yet refined: natural materials, soft textures, hidden lighting that follows the curves of the space, and color tones inspired by lava, earth, and the island’s radiance.

Inside you may find :
A spacious bed “carved” into the wall or set on a stone base.
A unified, cave-like structure with a seating area
A bathroom designed in the same style, that resembles a small cave.

Outside, this sense of “oneness with the environment” continues, with terraces carved into the rock leading to private infinity pools. And of course, the view of the Caldera becomes even more striking, framed by the dark contours of the structure.

Experience

Staying in a cave suite at Santonero is an experience of complete detachment— as if you are living in another world, out of time, yet with all the comforts of modern life. It is ideal for couples seeking romance, tranquility, and a deep sense of authentic Cycladic hospitality.
