AITHRIACave Suites
A fourteen-suite boutique hotel in Santorini. Designed with no budget, no deadline and no legacy material getting in the way.
What it is
Fourteen suites carved into the volcanic rock in Imerovigli, above the caldera. Five room types with different views, different footprints and rates that start in the hundreds.
This audience books four to six months ahead and compares five hotels at once. The decision is made on photographs and on how quickly someone can work out exactly what they are getting.
Why we built it
It is not a client. It is a fictional hotel we designed to show what we can do without constraints.
On real projects something always gets in the way: dated photography, a budget, a booking engine that leaves no room to move. Here there was none of that.
The structure
- A separate page for each of the five suite types, with its own copy and its own photography
- Date search in the first screen — the guest is not hunting for a button
- A booking engine connection so availability is live rather than illustrative
- Reasons to book direct printed next to the rate, not hidden in a footer
- Bilingual from day one, with copy written from scratch in both languages
What it demonstrates
The concept was delivered in the same time we deliver real projects: 15 working days.
We use it in first meetings when an owner asks what «a page per room type» actually means. It is faster than explaining.
How it looks
Images sit inside frames drawn in CSS. See IMAGES.md for the files still to be added.
See it yourself
The concept runs locally, at /preview/aithria/ on this site. Open it on a phone — that is where it counts.

How many room types do you have?
If it is more than two, one shared page will not carry them. Send us your numbers.
