Terrific views down to bay and up to fabulous mountains. Nice outdoor restaurant terrace. Delicious wholesome Cretan food menu for both breakfast and dinner. Rooms are charming with balcony terraces and air conditioning. However, the only negative, the beds and mattresses feel like they have been unchanged for thirty years and are especially uncomfortable. Time for the management to reinvest as for me it was the only serious negative criticism. ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Roger Sep 29, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Not well maintained ##### Roger Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Cheryl Jun 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort The concept is charming and that is what led us here. This is a traditional village with lots of little houses and nooks and crannies and tiny garden spaces, transformed into a complex of rooms. The positive: there is a very nice terrace where one can sit, have breakfast and order a dinner. And the staff are very friendly. The negative: the rooms are uncomfortable and many things are broken. My shower attachment was broken so the head could not be affixed to the wall. The shower is miniscule and the flimsy plastic curtain does not prevent water from flooding out. The mattresses are more like thin mats - my colleague had a backache the next morning. The blanket was thin for the spring temperatures and the spare blanket and quilt in the closet did not appear to be clean. The WIFI only works in selected public areas. The location is remote so it's a long drive to anywhere. The many irregular stairs going to many levels in many directions are dangerous for older people and children and completely unsuited for the handicapped. I believe this location is best suited for local group events not requiring an overnight stay - there was a baptism while we were there. A corporate retreat could work as there are many spaces for breakout groups etc., but that would require functioning internet site-wide. The decor inside the rooms needs a cosmetic upgrade - aims for rustic but just looks sad. ##### Cheryl Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Timo Nicolas Sep 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unser Aufenthalt in diesem wunderbaren Hotel auf Kreta war einfach unvergesslich! Das Hotel liegt in einer traumhaften, ruhigen Lage in den Bergen, umgeben von spektakulären Ausblicken und der friedlichen Natur. Diese Kulisse bietet eine perfekte Auszeit vom hektischen Alltag und lädt zur Entspannung ein. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir das unglaublich freundliche Personal. Jeder Mitarbeiter war stets hilfsbereit, zuvorkommend und hat unseren Aufenthalt noch angenehmer gemacht. Man spürt die herzliche Atmosphäre, die das Team schafft, und das trägt enorm zu einem rundum positiven Erlebnis bei. Das Essen war ebenfalls ein Highlight. Die Auswahl war äußerst reichhaltig und jede Mahlzeit war ein Genuss. Viele traditionelle kretische Spezialitäten - jeden Tag etwas anderes - alles war frisch zubereitet und einfach köstlich. Der Pool des Hotels war riesig und bot ausreichend Platz zum Schwimmen und Entspannen. Wir haben die Zeit am Pool sehr genossen und konnten uns wunderbar erholen. Insgesamt haben wir unseren Aufenthalt in diesem Hotel sehr genossen. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und sind begeistert von der Kombination aus atemberaubender Natur, hervorragendem Service und köstlichem Essen. Wir können es kaum erwarten, wiederzukommen! ##### Timo Nicolas Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Richard Sep 1, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Le lieu atypique est super, la piscine, la terrasse pour le petit déjeuner, incroyable ! Les chambres sont grandes, spacieuses avec balcon. Le bémol est sur la literie de qualité moyenne et la propreté des chambres qui n'est pas au rendez-vous. De plus, c'est la première fois que j'ai le montant de la taxe de séjour aussi haut (10€/pers et par jours) à la fin de voyage. Un gros plus pour le cadre très beau, la piscine, et le petit musée. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a432fbde-9fc1-4ade-b472-08109eadeb19-1756724741733.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f9c898a3-f536-4696-b163-0eaf89833e52-1756724741469.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6ca41f63-cbfb-4d33-8a4e-9fe2e5b9d710-1756724739404.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Richard Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Eric Jul 26, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Le logement ne correspondait pas du tout à ce qui était annoncé lors de la réservation était dans un état de saleté indescriptible ##### Eric Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### carolina Jul 9, 2025 Liked: Amenities posto magnifico all'esterno, splendida ricostruzione di un villaggio cretese, tranquillo, ottimo ristorante a bordo piscina: atmosfera bellissima.

Al momento del pagamento ho dovuto pagare 14 euro per tassa locale che, a mio avviso, avevo già pagato a mezzo Expedia ma, anche mostrando la ricevuta, mi hanno detto di sentire Expedia perchè non capivano il motivo del doppio pagamento...assurdo! ##### LARA Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jannik Aug 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Insgesamt din sehr schönes, traditionelles Hotel welches einer traditionellen Siedlung nachempfunden wurde. Die Aussicht ist sehr einladend und das Personal ausgesprochen zuvorkommend. Allerdings ist zu erwähnen, dass des öfteren große Hochzeitsfeiern in der Anlage stattfinddn, weshalb es nachts sehr laut werden kann. Parkplätze sind dann ebenfalls keine mehr zu finden. Trotzdem insgesamt empfehlenswert, wenn man bei nächtlichem Lärm gut schlafen kann und auf Parkplätze direkt vor dem Hotel keinen Wert legt. ##### Jannik Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francesco Sep 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Bellissima struttura caratteristica del luogo tutta in pietra e legno. Ideale per chi ama la natura la pace e il silenzio e non fli ambienti lussuosi e sfarzosi. Ottima la piscina e bello l'allestimento della zona di ristorazione personale gentile ed accogliente. La colazio e ricca di prodotti genuini. Consigliato a chi ama il relax totale. ##### Francesco Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Acro Wellness Suites - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Malevizi-Hotels-Acro-Wellness-Suites-Adults-Only.h42005805.Hotel-Information) > > [Stella Island Luxury Resort & Spa - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Stella-Island-Luxury-Resort-Spa-Adults-Only.h16508136.Hotel-Information) > > [Domes Noruz Chania, Autograph Collection - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Chania-Hotels-Domes-Noruz-Chania.h15451739.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsis Selection Laguna](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Mitsis-Laguna-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h4260878.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsis Rinela](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Mitsis-Rinela-Beach-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2335564.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Grand Punta Cana - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Grand-Punta-Cana-All-Inclusive.h1091208.Hotel-Information) > > [Star Beach Village and Water Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Star-Beach-Village-And-Water-Park.h1342145.Hotel-Information) > > [Atlantica Caldera Palace - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Atlantica-Caldera-Palace-All-Inclusive.h35181792.Hotel-Information) > > [Minos Imperial Beach Resort Milatos Crete](https://www.expedia.ca/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Minos-Imperial.h660214.Hotel-Information) > > [Out Of The Blue All Inclusive Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Malevizi-Hotels-Out-Of-The-Blue-Capsis-Elite-Resort.h1164026.Hotel-Information) > > [Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Domes-Of-Elounda.h2497819.Hotel-Information) > > [Agapi Beach Resort - Premium All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Malevizi-Hotels-Agapi-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h1056753.Hotel-Information) > > [Euphoria Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Platanias-Hotels-Euphoria-Resort-All-Inclusive.h21337972.Hotel-Information) > > [Bella Beach - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Bella-Beach-All-Inclusive.h1081456.Hotel-Information) > > [Rimondi Grand Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Rethymno-Hotels-Rimondi-Grand-Resort-Spa.h4925255.Hotel-Information) > > [Lyttos Beach - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Lyttos-Beach-All-Inclusive.h8077194.Hotel-Information) > > [Daios Cove](https://www.expedia.ca/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Daios-Cove-Luxury-Resort-Villas.h3300418.Hotel-Information) > > [Seaside A Lifestyle Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Malevizi-Hotels-Seaside-A-Lifestyle-Resort-All-Inclusive.h2312612.Hotel-Information) > > [Abaton Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Abaton-Island-Resort-Spa.h20145294.Hotel-Information) > > [Peninsula Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Malevizi-Hotels-Peninsula-Resort-Spa.h4680601.Hotel-Information) > > [Annabelle Beach Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Annabelle-Beach-Resort-All-Inclusive.h2705193.Hotel-Information) > > [Cretan Dream Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Chania-Hotels-Cretan-Dream-Royal-Hotel.h2336360.Hotel-Information) > > [Grecotel LUXME White](https://www.expedia.ca/Rethymno-Hotels-Grecotel-LUXME-White-Palace-All-Inclusive.h2573709.Hotel-Information) > > [Phāea Blue - Small Luxury Hotels of the World](https://www.expedia.ca/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Blue-Palace-Hotel-Elounda.h972986.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Toronto-Toronto-Hotels.0-n6057934-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Creta Maris Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Creta-Maris-Resort-All-Inclusive.h541819.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Sidney (YYJ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyj/yyc/victoria-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Edmonton (YEG) to Abbotsford (YXX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yeg/yxx/edmonton-to-abbotsford) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Chicago (ORD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ord/toronto-to-chicago) ### Packages > [Mexico Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Mexico.d117.Destination-Travel-Guides)
