Demeter Cave House Santorini

Village house with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom in Pyrgos, Santorini

From €1,400 per week

A dreamily romantic, adults-only hideaway tucked into the heart of Santorini’s prettiest village, Pyrgos.

Overview

If you’re seeking a place to slow down, reconnect, and soak in the magic of Santorini—welcome.

Demeter Cave House is a beautifully restored, heritage cave home designed just for two. Hidden behind thick whitewashed walls in the quiet village of Pyrgos, it offers something rare: luxury, privacy, and stillness.

Inside, you’ll find soft curves, vaulted ceilings, and handpicked design touches that feel both authentic and refined. There’s an airy domed living area, a compact kitchenette, a super-comfy double bedroom, and a cave-style bathroom with a luxurious couples’ rain shower. Step outside into your private courtyard with a heated jacuzzi, or climb up to the panoramic roof terrace for sweeping views over Pyrgos and out to the Aegean Sea.

And though the famous caldera is only a five-minute drive away, many of our guests prefer to stay right here—sipping wine at sunset above the rooftops, watching church bells chime, and letting the quiet charm of Pyrgos unfold at its own gentle pace.

The village itself is a treasure: cobbled lanes, blue-domed chapels, crumbling castle walls, and authentic tavernas where locals gather for meze and laughter. From here, you’re well-placed to explore all of Santorini—from the black sand beaches of the east coast to the vibrant heart of Fira and the volcanic islets beyond.

I don’t think 5/5 stars even begins to do this Airbnb justice. This is the best stay we have ever had!! From the time we booked, the hosts were so helpful and kind. Danny organized our transportation to and from the airport, helped us book a catamaran tour, and even made us dinner reservations at all the the restaurants we wanted to try in town. He even helped carry our bags to the Airbnb and organized a lovely breakfast for us as well. We were in town for our honeymoon, and this experience has been one of the highlights of our trip. Excellent service and experience! The house is absolutely gorgeous and clean as well. Staying here is a no- brainer, you will love it!!! Side note: The town of Pyrgos is bit more quaint than Oía and Fira which we ended up preferring. There are great restaurants and transportation options to visit other parts of Santorini as well. Danny and Andrew are super helpful about making your stay great!

Demeter Cave house was an amazing find! It truly lived up to its reviews and online photos. What isn't immediatley obvious from is the exceptional service provided by the hosts. Upon arrival we were meet in town, helped with our luggage and escorted to the property. We were given a tour of the facilities at Demeter Cave House, and given a helpful overview of the local area and recommended eateries. The location was perfect, right in the heart of Pyrgos, surrounded by picturesque streets, nestled between resturants and cafes. We only needed to ventured out one day to explore the south of the island on a quad bike which was great to see the sights we'd admired from afar from the resturants. The roof terrace was perfect for sunbathing, and the courtyard provided a relaxing space to chill in the evenings playing cards with a cool drink and taking an evening dip in the jacuzzi. We will definitely return.

Wow what an amazing place! I feel reluctant to share this place, but share it we must, as Andrew and Danny are simply the most wonderful hosts and Demeter Cave is a magical little house! From start to finish, the communication was outstanding. There is an app you can sign in to that gives you everything you need to know about the house and the area, plus Andrew and Danny are on hand for any advice, bookings, random bits of information you might need. That is if you even need to leave Demeter Cave, which was difficult! Merely steps away are amazing restaurants, views to die for, and bustling village life to throw yourself into, or simply sit in the jacuzzi and unravel! We WILL be back and I can't thank Andrew and Danny enough for really exceeding our expectations.

Demeter House is a truly wonderful place. We were blown away by the actual property which is stunning and beautifully maintained. The area is perfect for numerous restaurants and bars…but most importantly Andrew is quite simply the best host we’ve ever encountered! Quite honestly we have never been treated anywhere else in the world like we were at Demeter House. We think he should give classes in how to take care of one’s guests…nothing is too much trouble. We absolutely loved our stay and are already planning to return! If you want to visit Santorini then book Demeter House…you won’t be disappointed!

This was our first visit to Greece and the most amazing place to stay. Emerged in the centre of this small town with amazing restaurants on your doorstep you couldn’t want for anything more. Host is the best ever and on hand to assist - nothing is too much trouble. A rare 5* find and cannot recommend more highly.

Andrew was an absolute rockstar host! He went above and beyond to help us plan our island getaway. From the moment we booked, he was there to make sure we had the best time. He gave us some amazing restaurant and local spot recommendations, and he was always friendly and welcoming. Andrew made our honeymoon truly unforgettable.

Ursula, Canada Apr 2025

Andrew is an exceptional host who gave us 5-Star treatment starting from our making the reservation right to our departure. He made every effort to ensure our stay was a perfect one. Demeter Cave is an exquisite little gem in the heart of Pyrgos and we enjoyed the easiness of getting around by bus or on foot without battling thousands of other tourists. The locals are very friendly and our favorite restaurant in Pyrgos was Penelope’s. We highly recommend staying with Andrew and would book with him again!

Ana, UK Aug 2024

Truly knockout place and Andrew is the warmest host whose recommendations were spot on. Stay here. You won’t find better in Santorini. It’s like staying in a unique boutique hotel. There’s a double shower, luxurious linens, the most comfortable sun loungers on a huge terrace overlooking the domes and church bells of Pyrgos and a completely private hot tub. But the highlight was the extra attention Andrew provided. A gorgeous bottle of wine, loads of bottled water, a huge delicious breakfast, bookings at the best restaurants… really Andrew you couldn’t have done more. It was a pleasure staying at your pad and you made our trip to Santorini even better than it would have been.
