Cave vacation rentals in Africa

Our experience at this Airbnb was truly perfect from beginning to end. We were greeted at the airport by a driver arranged by the host, and upon arrival, someone was already waiting to help us with our bags. The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and in the perfect location—just a short walk from shops, restaurants, and bars, with a stunning view of the sea. Daily breakfast was such a nice touch, and I was especially grateful that the host provided soy milk after I requested it—two cartons, no less! The cozy slippers made us feel right at home, and while I didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub (too busy exploring!), it looked pristine and super inviting. Check-in and check-out were both seamless, with a porter to help with bags and transportation arranged for our departure as well. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend this place to anyone visiting Oia. A truly special stay!

Wonderful apartment and a great, responsive, caring host! Thank you Alberto, we liked everything! Clean, easy to find, super instructions, lots of restaurants nearby, everything you need! Just perfect ♥️

thank you for a lovely stay, we enjoyed the experience thoroughly 😊

Great place that had amazing views next to the blue top church. Host was very helpful with recommendations. Only complaint would be the amount of traffic from people waiting to take photos near the Airbnb (above the private chained off area) but is to be expected with a place is such a great locations. Highly recommend this place and would love to come back next year!

This property was wonderful - and it had the best location! It was very comfortable, and had plenty of space for 5 adults. The outdoor areas were spectacular! There are two, one with seating and a hot tub, one above the roof with seating and views in every direction! The sunset from the property was absolutely breathtaking! The host and the people he worked with (thank you Timis and Dimitrios!) were so helpful - helping us arrange transportation, a boat cruise, and making a dinner reservation - and so warm and friendly. We highly recommend this property - we would definitely go again!

I love the vibe of the place it’s very peaceful and it felt home, Definitely booking this place again and again ♥️ God bless Rasha she’s more than amazing a beautiful soul

This was the most incredible Airbnb we have ever stayed at. The location was iconic and took our breath away! The apartment was beautiful and functional and the pool was perfect. Nick is an awesome host and is very responsive in any communication or request. There are crowds in peak times to get down to the villa but just say you are a movie star and need priority to get back to your privacy!! Only regret was we didn’t book longer!

Kinga & Nicolas‘ Appartement is just so nice and calm. We had an amazing stay and fell in love with the island.

Very beautiful,therapeutic and demure place.its worth the money.Check them out,You'll be glad You Did. Highly Recommended if You Like Offgrid Lifestyle

We loved staying here! Only 10 min drive from main town Fira and we loved the private pool!

Chris was a superb host. He arranged not only our transfer from the airport but also rides to surrounding towns. Breakfast served every morning was a plus. Best location possible in Ammoudi Bay!

An absolutely beautiful place, quiet, surrounded by nature, without direct neighbors. It was well worth the few kilometers climb from the sea. Spacious and well-equipped accommodation with a beautiful terrace. Our host was fantastic. An experience that we would highly recommend.

A truly unique place to stay! The apartment has volcanic rocks built right into the interior and comes with everything you could possibly need. The garden is lovely—there’s a BBQ and a separate little kitchen next to it, perfect for enjoying the peaceful surroundings. The whole area is calm and quiet, with vineyards growing in black volcanic soil just nearby. What really made the stay special was our host, Dani—kind and genuinely warm. He had left croissants, jam, coffee, and tea in the kitchen—just what we needed to start off right.

Nikolaos is very charismatic and personable! Accommodated me with my needs....and water 🙏 Ciao Niko🤗

We had the most unforgettable stay at this stunning cave home! From the moment we arrived, we felt like we were in our own private slice of paradise. The ambiance is incredibly romantic – soft lighting, cozy nooks, and a beautiful blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. The cave stays naturally cool and quiet, making it the perfect escape from the outside world. We loved sipping wine on the terrace under the stars and waking up to the soft morning light filtering in through the stone. Every detail was thoughtfully curated. Our host was gracious and responsive, offering excellent local recommendations and ensuring everything was perfect throughout our stay. If you’re looking for a unique, intimate, and truly magical getaway, this cave home is it. We’re already dreaming about coming back!

Our stay here was all we hoped it would be and more! Artemis was the host we worked with. She communicated so well with us the entire time. We met at a designated spot and she showed us where to park then walked us to the cutest place to stay! She even helped with the luggage ❤️. She truly was a delight and was so kind and helpful during our stay. The house was perfect for us and our three young adult children. We had plenty of room and even some privacy. It is walking distance to Oia for shipping and restaurants. Several great restaurants are within walking distance in Finikia. The cave house was a perfect way to spend our time on this beautiful island. We hope to come back and would definitely stay with Artemis again!

We had a lovely week staying in the Cave of the Cat. Once we got there, it was very peaceful, the view was amazing, and Juan Carlos very friendly and helpful. We recommend that someone in couple who rents be a very good driver as the property is down a very steep road and up a driveway. In general, the roads on that part of Gran Canaria require a solid driver, but the natural beauty and peace are worth the effort. There are local restaurants and shops nearby. One of the best parts of this part of the island is very few people who aren't residents, so you really get to experience the community. We ate at home all of the nights as it was a lovely spot and the kitchen was very accessible. A very nice location for a real getaway.

Perfect place! Beautiful view. So cozy,calm .

Better than it looks, and it looks amazing. Views were just out of this world. Not sure why people obsess over Oia (we went). The sunsets from the cool water jacuzzi on the upper terrace were the stuff of dreams.

A nice unique place that incorporates the cliff side. Clean and well equipped. Parking is on the road below, about 35 steps up to the house. You can see the highway from the deck. There is some road noise but not bothersome. The path to the beach was closed.

A wonderful stay, the accommodation was amazing, super nice views, super clean, it had absolutely everything you could need in the house and the service was wonderful We would repeat without a doubt, 100% recommended

This apartment was very comfortable and we had great night rest. Due to the limited amount of time we did not cook but this would have been an option in the complete kitchen. We liked the QR codes with instructions for the appliances and the very friendly and prompt response from our host in case of additional questions. The Spa was a treat. We appreciated the fantastic location for all our day trips around the island and beyond. Everything was walkable even the ferry station to Gozo. What a great experience. Thank you for sharing your place.

this place is absolutely fantastic we loved it hear, nicely out of the the way but still a short drive to lovely bars and resteraunts, I really couldn't recommend it high enough, what lovely people great comunication and greeting on arrival. Wonderfull

Angela's house is fantastic. Perched high on the cliff with a stunning view out over the Atlantic coast. The ocean and sky are visible all day from everywhere in the house and the sunsets are incredible each evening. The area around the very well heated pool is spacious and well-protected from the wind. The house was extremely clean with fresh linen and towels for all the beds and bathrooms. The kitchen had all the basics like coffee, spices and condiments and Angela had left some water, wine and cremant to welcome us. A car is definitely a necessity and the road to the house is steep due to the location which is extremely private from all angles. The stairs up and down to the pool are maybe not ideal for families with smaller children but we (family of 4, kids 12 & 17) had a fantastic 2 week stay and can highly recommend Angela as a friendly and accommodating host and the house as a fantastic property- just like in the photos, but better!
