Peaceful hotel with amazing owners along the sea!

A peaceful hotel owned by the sweetest family. Our room had a private balcony and gorgeous views of the sea. The property is approx 200 meters outside the small village with a private beach but the owners will pick you up at the ferry or at the exit from the Samaria gorge if you coordinate ahead of time. The property has sunbeds and umbrellas to use for free and sea kayaks and pedal boats to use for free. The family works very hard to accommodate us and are incrdibly kind. The hotel is small and they have a small family staff so things happen at a more casual pace which is relaxing. Fish may not be available every meal because the owner, George, is also the fisherman and he may not have a large catch that morning or the weather may prevent fishing but my advice is ask staff for recommendations for what to eat. Every time we asked staff for food recommendations, we had a delicious meal! We ate most meals at the hotel and only went into the village for a cocktail or to walk around. It is the perfect place to unplug, relax, and enjoy some beautiful views and peace.

Séjour au calme

Nous devions avoir une chambre vue sur mer et n’avons eu qu’une petite vue latérale. Nous avons demandé le changement mais on nous a dit que c’était complet. Le matériel de cuisine est sommaire et le lit moyen. L’accueil a été aimable et on nous a proposé de garder nos bagages le temps d’aller dans les gorges, et prendre une douche au retour. Attention : le petit déjeuner n’est celui affiché. Sinôn le resto est bon et l’endroit calme et agréable.

We spent 4 lovely days at the sweet corner with our 11 year old boy and had a great time. We were met off the ferry by Nectaris in his car that takes a battering each time he drives along the rocky road. We were impressed how he handles that car! Lovely Emma was there to show us around and answer any questions for us. She is fluent in English and was our main point of contact. The accommodation is basic but has all what you need. The reason we picked Sweet Corner was due to its location. It’s away from the main area, peaceful with a beautiful view. We didn’t want to be surrounded by restaurants and other hotels and all 5 rooms have a sea view. The bonus also was the FREE use of the pedalo and the kayaks which we used everyday. Great for an active 11 year old boy. We snorkelled each day, so take your own gear. There are lots of beautiful fish to see and the sea is so clear. My son was thrilled as we saw a Lion Fish. It’s a short stroll (5 minute walk) down to the main area if you want a leg stretch, need to go to supermarket or fancy a cocktail. On one of the evenings Emma kindly packaged up a takeaway and we sat on the private beach just relaxing. On day 3 Nectaris dropped us at the exit/entrance to the Samaria Gorge and we walked about half way in before we met people who had started their walk from Omalos. It was well worth it. Absolutely stunning. I would recommend Sweet Corner if you want to be peaceful, active and enjoy nature. Thank you xx

An idyllic setting at the end of the road and away from the crowds. The hotel staffed by the welcoming and friendly extended family including yiayia. Also Amelia the multilingual amazing staff always ready to help. The food was always fresh and local even their own produce including cheese, honey, lamb and veg and whatever fish was freshly caught. Highly recommended.
