"Came in the off season, and it was a complete bait and switch. Actual hotel was closed (including pool and restaurant (so no breakfast)). Placed us next door in tiny apartments.

"Place came with a parking spot, but it was a bit small. Was a very convenient location, had lots of food and coffee nearby. Coming in, the room smelled a bit like smoke, which was not expected. There was a wet towel in the bathroom for some reason, and there were random pipes and holes around the room. Owner was responsive, and the room was not too expensive, so I guess you get what you pay for."

We initially had booked 2 nights here and had fortunately not booked any of our 3 remaining nights in Crete. As soon as we stepped foot in the place, we immediately booked another 2 nights. The house was amazing! It had a full kitchen, loft, wooden spiral staircase, 2 bathrooms, and 2 balconies. The village itself was very quaint and friendly with exceptional views of the surrounding countryside. The local restaurant had delicious traditional food at inexpensive prices and a great balcony view...

Are only disappointment was only booking for one night. Spectacular view, charming host and hostess, George and Aphroditi treated us like family and fed us just as well! Aphroditi is a fantastic cook. This hotel is so lovely! We enjoyed walking to see a 300 year old church and all of The acres of grape, olive, fig, and flower gardens. We ate grapes right off the vine. Thank you for a wonderful visit. We will be back!

This hotel was the highlight of my trip to Crete. The setting and facilities conjure up a traditional Cretan Village with lush greenery, sunny terraces and beautifully decorated rooms equipped with a fireplace and refrigerator, plus balcony. Christina at the restaurant warmly greeted me each morning for a sumptuous breakfast and provided wonderful advice on local specialties and wine. I was greeted each morning by the sound of sheep bells in the valley below. I would highly recommend this...

A super cute and amazing apartment, also very clean! The owner is so sweet and very quick at answering messages. They offer to pick you up from the airport and bring you back they day you leave if you need. It’s Very safe and quiet which was great for us as two girls traveling alone. The Main Street is a five minute walk with plenty of shopping and food as well as beach access. Honestly one of the best places I’ve stayed.
