Made up of traditional villas with comfy beds and shared pool. Easily drivable to beaches in abt 30 mins ##### Nicola Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Niklas Jul 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Perfect Vacation If you want to relax and get away from the crowded commercial areas, this Is the perfect place. We stayed in the purple villa and had a lot of space between the three of us. The views are spectacular and you can see all down to the beach and up to the mountains. The people managing the villas are very kind and helpful and are happy to answer any question. You do need to have a vehicle since it´s 12 minutes by car down the hill to the nearest Taverna and minimarket. There is a taverna in the village but it is not regularly open. I can recommend the breakfast, the best we ever had. There are also several different nice walks/hikes with beautiful views if you like us like to have a morning walk. ##### Niklas Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Felix Jun 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Very charming property with beautiful views. ##### Felix Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Aug 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wir hatten einen wundervollen, erholsamen Urlaub mit unserem kleinen Hund und waren 2 Wochen dort. Die liebevoll angelegte Anlage mit den 5 Villen, der Bepflanzung und dem Pool ist einfach großartig. Auf Wunsch kann man sich das Frühstück auf eine der wundervollen Terrassen servieren lassen. Die Häuser werden täglich geputzt und es gibt einen kleinen Minimarkt mit allen Köstlichkeiten der Insel. Die Lage ist wunderbar ruhig und mit dem Auto gut erreichbar. Nach Chania ist es 30 min. mit dem Auto, sowie zu den zahlreichen, traumhaften Stränden und Beachbars. Ideal für einen entspannten Pärchenurlaub ❤️ ##### Michael Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christian Aug 1, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### bedste anbefalinger Et lille stykke paradis. ##### Christian Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 20, 2019 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unbelievable location and view.

Der Eigentümer sorgt für einen sehr persönlichen und umfassenden Service. So ist im Hause ein kleiner Supermarkt mit allerlei Spezialitäten und Köstlichkeiten eingerichtet, so dass man sich auch selbst versorgen kann, Allerdings lockt einen das "Adlernest", gleich um die Ecke, ebenfalls mit köstlichem Mahl. Das Frühstück im Samonas ist umwerfend und wer das verpasst ist selber schuld. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### stephane, La Baule Sep 10, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Superbe Dans la montagne Un magnifique endroit en pleine montagne On entend parfois les cloches des chèvres Et le silence Très beau village avec des appartements différents mais toujours une belle vue Petits déjeuners très complets et très bon avec des produits de qualité et fait maison ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s712-p0b124dd0-7765-11e6-a64d-9a6e387e1139-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s389-p0f70ed00-7765-11e6-8a11-1efd9bed7faa-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### stephane ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexander, israel Sep 27, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### great place we were couple with a baby, great place we definitely recommend it. villa was very big with all appliances, we had everything we needed ##### Alexander ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Sep 15, 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful relaxing experience Incredibly accommodating host.

La posizione è favorevole per una visita alle spiagge dell'akrotiri e per l'aeroporto di Chania consigliatissimo ##### Marco ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 20, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Beautiful location and rooms. Built from local farm building. Used local materials and traditional furnishings. Our unit included the remains of a stone oven and a well, which added to the traditional feel. Rooms are elaborately decorated with local objects. Service was excellent and the breakfasts were foody Cretan. Very peaceful location is reached by a narrow set of hairpin curves. ##### Verified traveller ### 2/10 Terrible #### nk, davis, ca, usa Sep 2, 2014 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Complete and total disaster I booked the accommodations in May or June 2014. In fact I made an error in the original booking, and had to rebook with the assistance of a hotels.com associate. Then ONE DAY prior to arrival I get an email from Lodging Operations (which works for both Expedia and hotels.com) that my reservation has been cancelled as the hotel has oversold the reservations. The owner/manager - who I was directed to talk to - claimed he informed hotels.com that the reservation cannot be accepted as early as June, but they ignored to inform me. This does not make much sense since the reservation had to be rebooked. On the other hand, the hotels.com employee who was "trying to help me" was NO help at all - he said either that we can cancel the reservation and hotels.com team will rebook us - without ever giving even a hint of any details - or that we deal with the Samonas owner/manager who was offering an alternative - essentially forcing us to deal directly with the Samonas manager. With family in the air I had little options given the total lack of support from hotels.com and took alternative accommodation arranged by the Samonas owner, at a completely different location, and without air conditioning and wifi. While we made it through, we were heavily overcharged since what we paid for Samonas was not returned and/or prorated. I will be calling hotels.com (whom I already emailed but no response so far) demanding corrective actions. As it stands, this was a total fiasco and a ripoff. ##### nk ### 10/10 Excellent #### Enric, Badalona Jul 22, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Lugar perfecto para relajarse Fue todo estupendo, las villas son muy bonitas, están muy limpias y decoradas con mucho gusto. Es un alojamiento perfecto para aquellos que busquen escapar de los sitios turísticos y quieran relajarse en un entorno rural. En coche llegas en media hora a Chania y a cualquier playa. ##### Enric ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anna Jul 16, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### bellissimo rifugio a poca distanza dal mare dopo 10 giorni in viaggio di nozze a Creta e dopo aver soggiornato a Malia, decidiamo di avvicinarci all'aereoporto di Chania. Preventivamente da casa abbiamo prenotato attraverso expedia, il luogo dalle foto ci sembrava molto accogliente, ma non ci saremmo mai aspettati tutta quella bellezza,eleganza,raffinatezza e cura nelle scelte fatte da Costantino (proprietario). Sicuramente se lo avessimo scoperto prima non saremmo mai stati a Malia, ma avremmo utilizzato Samonas come appoggio per visitare Creta. ##### Anna ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Apr 20, 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Slice of heaven Went to recharge batteries - pre Easter. And this place really worked. Had it all to ourselves. The views from our balcony were stunning. The breakfasts legendary - fresh yoghurt, honey, fruit, spinach pies, cheese and walnuts, eggs, fresh coffee, avocados with honey, fresh orange juice. And that happened every day. After a refreshing dip in the plunge pool looking at the snow capped mountains, The host is an absolute star - makes brilliant quince jam - available from the little honesty shop on site. He also bought my mum ingredients to make the jelly she loved. A great spot for spring flower hunting. Dont miss the monumental 3000 yr old olive tree down the road too. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 31, 2011 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Something different but excellent At first I was a little freaked out when we were driving from the Chania airport to the hotel. It seemed so far. I got especially concerned as we drove up --what I later dubbed-Goat mountain.But when we got there-and up the stone stairs with all the beautiful flowers and trees and into our amazing room complete with fireplace and a great balcony overlooking the valley-I knew I had made the right decision. Yes the hotel is out of the way, yes it does take about 20 minutes to get up the mountain, yes you are about 40 minutes from Chania's town center but the time goes by fast (once you know where you are going) and the ride is half the fun, The owner of the hotel created this little piece of paradise with nothing but utter devotion. It seems that there is nothing he hasn't though of--our room even had a washing machine and soap for goodness sake! ##### Verified traveller ## 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) > > [Seaside A Lifestyle Resort All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Malevizi-Hotels-Sea-Side-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2312612.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Waikiki](https://www.expedia.ca/Waikiki-Honolulu-Hotels.0-n6048741-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [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) > > [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) > > [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) > > [Peninsula Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Malevizi-Hotels-Peninsula-Resort-Spa.h4680601.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels.d178288.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [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) > > [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) > > [Creta Maris Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Creta-Maris-Resort-All-Inclusive.h541819.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) > > [Abaton Island Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Abaton-Island-Resort-Spa.h20145294.Hotel-Information) > > [Star Beach Village and Water Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Star-Beach-Village-And-Water-Park.h1342145.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Istanbul (IST)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ist/toronto-to-istanbul) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Halifax.d602873.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Las Vegas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas.d178276.Destination-Travel-Guides)
