Our stay was spectacular!! I can't recommend this hotel enough. The rooms were amazing and we even had an oversized plunge pool. The location is unbelievable - mountains surround you. The staff went above and beyond (e.g., they met us at our car with umbrellas as it was raining out, noticed on my passport it was my birthday so prepared a free cake for me, etc.). If you are going to be in the area please consider this hotel. Also, if you are still planning your vacation look into this area as it was great place to spend a few days (e.g., hike to Lissos, enjoy Sougia beach/restaurants, drive to Paleochara, etc.). ##### Karen Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roger Oct 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Relaxing design rooms boutique mountain stay Splendid design rooms in a nice and calm mountain region. Great service and nearby Sougia beach (5-10mins by car) and a local restaurant in the village. Only little downside is - depending on your neighbours, that you literally hear every single word or noise of them :) ##### Roger Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ellen May 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities To say that our stay here was excellent is truly an understatement. Crete was more than I could have ever dreamed of, and this hotel played a huge part in that. The drive to the hotel is definitely not the easiest drive, but it is so worth it (very windy road up and down the mountain, it is all paved and there are guardrails but very little light at night). Being in the mountains and away from the city was so quiet and relaxing and the town in the area felt so authentic and non-touristy, it was exactly what we were looking for! The staff were so friendly and were always attentive and making sure we had everything we needed. The staff recommended two restaurants (they actually recommended more than two, but we were only able to try 2 of them), and they were the two best meals we had during our 2-week stay in Greece. The hotel was very clean, and the room was excellent, we were actually offered an upgrade upon arrival. The pool was so refreshing, and the bed was extremely comfortable. As for being walkable/drivable, there is a restaurant in walking distance that was amazing. And the town of Sougia is just a short 5–10-minute drive down the road and is 100% worth the short drive. Chania is about 1.5-2-hour drive, and because it is through the mountain it will take every bit of that time and be on a lookout for goats. And Heraklion is about 3.5-4-hour drive. Thank you so much for our stay here it was amazing! We look forward to returning to Crete and staying here again. ##### Ellen Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nada Aug 23, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I had the most amazing stay with my husband in July. The lovely ladies who run the hotel go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. Sougia is very remote, quiet and has a "disconnected" feeling, which is amazing if you want to really unplug and relax, don't come here expecting to party! The restaurants at the beach serve the most delicious food I had in Crete, and the hotel restaurant is equally yum. The views are breathtaking, and it is worth coming for the views alone. This is a really quiet place and I think it's important any travellers come with that expectation to avoid any disappointmemts :). The only thing I didn't love was the drive from Chania, I am not a very confident driver and the roads are very windy, but if I managed I thibj anyone can manage (just drive slowly and move out of the way for any impatient drivers). Thank you so much to the whole team for being so king and welcoming ❤️ ##### Nada Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dana Jul 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Dana Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Isaac Jul 2, 2025 ##### Isaac Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### c Jun 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Magnifique endroit Equipe de réception très sympathique et aidante La taverne du village est top et à 3mn à pied ##### c Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Larisa Jun 4, 2025 ##### Larisa Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jean -Claude Oct 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Hôtel en pleine nature.

Ce fut très relaxant. Chambre propre et nous avons été surclassés. Personnels aux petits soins et de très bons conseils touristiques. Repas de très bonnes qualités.

The villa was relatively small, but had everything we needed, and was sufficiently private (a note: it wasn’t very easy to understand the difference between categories that have a private pool - a few more description points or photos might be helpful). The pool terrace was well thought through. We’ve had two meals at the hotel, dinner and breakfast, and found both very tasty (I can highly recommend Cretan breakfast). We have also used spa facilities (sauna and steam bath) and, while the overall experience was relaxing, there are three improvement points: sauna seemed to heat up only on the top benches while having cool air on the bottom bench; the benches in the steam bath were cold; there was a bit of unpleasant smell in the spa area. The staff of the hotel was very attentive and helpful, and very punctual in room service. The last, but very important point: we had managed to have an unforgettable early morning walk in the nearby Lissos gorge and a fantastic swim in Paralia Lissos beach, that knowing about these “things to do”, we’d stay longer in the hotel, for, at least, 2-3 nights. Overall very positive experience - we recommend! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robin Jun 5, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 5 stars for the Monastery collection! Amazing service and beautiful hotel quietly nestled in the mountains. The breakfast was divine and such a great variety. Our room came with a jetted tub on the patio and it filled quickly with hot water, nice way to relax. We ended up staying at another monastery collection in Chania the next night we loved out stay so much. ##### Robin Stayed 1 night in Jun 2021 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Las Vegas](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas-Hotels.d178276.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [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) > > [Creta Maris Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Creta-Maris-Resort-All-Inclusive.h541819.Hotel-Information) > > [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) > > [Mitsis Rinela](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Mitsis-Rinela-Beach-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2335564.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Jasper](https://www.expedia.ca/Jasper-Hotels.d10578.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Costa-Rica-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d42-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [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) > > [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) > > [Star Beach Village and Water Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Star-Beach-Village-And-Water-Park.h1342145.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) > > [Domes of Elounda, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Agios-Nikolaos-Hotels-Domes-Of-Elounda.h2497819.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in Cabo San Lucas](https://www.expedia.ca/Cabo-San-Lucas-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d180032-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Peninsula Resort & Spa - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Malevizi-Hotels-Peninsula-Resort-Spa.h4680601.Hotel-Information) > > [Bella Beach - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Bella-Beach-All-Inclusive.h1081456.Hotel-Information) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Vancouver](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Vancouver.d178315.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages > [Las Vegas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas.d178276.Destination-Travel-Guides)
