Authentic stay in Emporio, Santorini
cave
Experience true serenity
Carved directly into the rock of Emporio, Commander’s Cave is the real thing: a genuine Santorinian cave home, rounded, hushed, and cool even in August. Stone niches hold hand-crafted ornaments, wrought-iron furniture nods to the island’s past, and Phillips Hue ambient lighting bathes the vaulted walls in whatever color matches your mood. The kitchen tucks neatly into an arched alcove, while a smart TV glows against curved white walls. Climb up to the private rooftop terrace at dusk for one of Emporio’s most unforgettable panoramas — the Aegean stretching out under a sky of changing colors, and a famously refreshing outdoor shower under the open sky.

Our Happy Clients!
Great experience. Our host was very well coming, helpful and had nice historic stories about the accommodation. Located in a beautiful countryside village with a nice view from the terrace. The house has an atypical architecture which offers a pleasant atmosphere which we loved to discover. It was clean and well equipped. Perfect stay!

For anyone who prefers tranquility to the hustle and bustle of crowded tourist spots, this village is a great base, providing easy access to all the island’s activities. Willy’s place is very well located, quiet, cool, and exactly as described. We simply loved it. The outdoor shower is a real plus, and the aperitif at nightfall on the rooftop terrace overlooking the sea… A dream! Thank you Willy and Giannis

What can I say about our stay at Willy’s airbnb?
We were very well hosted by Giannis, smiling and very good advice for planning our week.
The rbnb was really perfect, there was nothing to complain about the bedding, the atmosphere, the terrace and MOST IMPORTANTLY, the outdoor shower! A real joy.
The accommodation is also very well located to visit Santorini, in the heart of Emborio village, away from the crowds and a few minutes walk from the bus stop that takes us in 10 minutes to the beach or Fira.

Sleeping inside a centuries-old cave in the oldest heart of Emporio is a privilege few travelers ever experience — this is Santorini as it once was.
Rooftop at sunset
The rooftop terrace, with its sea view and gentle evening breeze, is where guests fall in love with the island. Pour a glass of local wine and watch the sky turn pink.

Thick cave walls keep you naturally cool, while fast Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, a 40" smart TV and ambient lighting bring modern ease to an ancient space.
