Guests would never know that this luxury Airbnb home once served as a bakery to its surrounding village of Oia, Greece.
That's because the property's whirlpool and views are the main attraction. This traditional Greek home is carved into the cliffside of the northwestern tip of Santorini, and guests can rent the Airbnb for $429 a night.
Thousands of people around the world added the home to their Airbnb wish lists between March 2 and May 11.
It's easy to see why this cave home made the list.
The two-bedroom home features breathtaking views of the ocean and a simple, but stylish, interior.
The home is in the typical Greek Cycladic architecture.
The Cyclades are a group of islands in the Aegean Sea, and it's famous for whitewashed walls with sprinkles of colors, like blue and red.
The home has a private terrace where guests can enjoy a dip in the pool or a nice meal.
According to the listing, the home sits in the center of Oia, Greece, a small village on the Santorini island.
The home overlooks a vast caldera filled with water, which connects to the Aegean Sea.
This particular cave home was once the village's bakery. It's since been renovated by a family of architects, according to the listing.
A small whirlpool overlooks the Santorini caldera, which is a submerged crater filled with water.
From inside the whirlpool, guests can enjoy the sunset across the water.
Guests walk through the bright red doors and into a spacious living room.
The interior of the home is an off-white color, which creates an airy and cozy atmosphere.
The interior features curved walls and hallways, typical of Cycladic architecture.
The oak table can accommodate six diners. The kitchen features two windows, one looking outside and another inside the home.
The master bedroom features a private entrance.
Two windows fill the secluded bedroom with light during the day.
While the other room is a bit cozier.
The private room was once the home's cistern or watering tank. Now, it's home to an emperor-sized bed.
But the best part of the home is when you step out on the terrace.
The terrace is two levels. The top level features lounge chairs and the lower level is where guests can enjoy the pool.
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner can be enjoyed from the terrace.
The home is available for $429 a night at the time of writing and can accommodate four people.
