    Pros +

    • High in the beautiful and remote Amari Valley, the location is outstanding, a perfect base for exploring the surrounding historic valley, the many small traditional villages and historic churches and monasteries. A fantastic breakfast is included.
    • The location in the mountains is perfect! The rooms and the hotel as such are nicely maintained and you see people pit money in it. The “exhibition” was great:) so sorry the water in the pool was cold. It would be a 10 if the pool was heated.
    • Property managed and served by nice personnel, free parking, tasty breakfast, clean and tidy room with comfortable bed. There is a shop and few restaurants in close proximity.

    Cons -

    • The water in the pool was cold:(
    • There seemed to be no staff around ever except for by the pool. Those that were there were not very welcoming. The breakfast was mediocre but not awful. All the other facilities (the gym, games room, mini golf, bikes, tennis court, were very run down to the point of not being usable. No balls to play basketball, tennis or golf, no darts for dartboard in the game room, The bicycles all had flat tires. If you can't keep up with them then remove them as it leaves a bad mark on a very lovely hotel and gives guests unreasonable expectations. At times the hotel felt more like a community center for the town children then a resort.
    • Really old shower, doors can’t close, leaking constantly.

    The room was very clean and comfortable.. The pool area was also very well kept and great for the hot summer days. Great value for what you get. The mountain scenery is beautiful. I recommend this place for those that want some peace and quiet amongst the nature of crete.

    The building was quite new. The views were appealing in a village area. The village itself was not something spectacular. A good value for just 54 euros Spring time.

    I didn't meet anyone since it was off season, yet check in and out were very easy.

    Location, scenery and beautiful village

    9RobertoPosted on: 10-24-2024

    Beautiful hotel with attention to the smallest details, quality materials, beautiful rooms finished in wood, excellent cleaning and good breakfast with varied and quality products.professional staff, comfortable beds, very nice bathroom.I liked everything, but it must be considered that this beautiful structure is in the mountains in an inland town.therefore those who book must take into account at least 30 minutes by car to get to the sea.we also wanted to see the interior of Crete and we made this choice consciously.

    10MirjanaPosted on: 9-28-2024

    A beautiful resort with a lot of things to do while you are there. The rooms were clean when we got there and were cleaned every day during our stay. The breakfast was delicious with a lot of different options to choose from. The staff was very nice and helped us with everything that we needed. Would highly recommend a visit.

    • Very polite and kind staff which welcomed us and again checked us out pleasantly. • The Hotel itself has some very interesting and aesthetically pleasing furniture and decorations. This provided a unique vibe. • Plenty of parking spaces. • Beautiful view of the mountain and stars. • Good WiFi in the room and plenty of sockets. • Clean bathroom with toiletries provided. • Great breakfast layout in the morning (love a full english). • Minibar was prepped with water which was appreciated.

    • Small-ish room with not a-lot of space. • The bed was a little bit creaky. • The TV was very old and most channels did not work or they were lagging.

    Good price, great mountain view.

    Breakfast started at 8. When we came there 8:10 all the food was cold. We got it for a really good price from booking so it was fine, but if I were ro pay 10€ per person, I would not be happy. Also the rooms were not noise proof at all.

    9RonPosted on: 9-20-2024

    Staff are really great and so friendly. We have stayed at your Hotel since 2016. It is a gem ?. We love your location and the village, the Amari valley is so beautiful. The ONLY negative.We do notice the Hotel now needs some painting and general repairs that should be done. It would be a shame to see it not be kept in best condition..orn̈ deteriorate.The breakfast continues to be a great service and the Pool area is welcoming.Rooms cleaning Service and bed making super !

    General repairs to exterior will become necessary soon.. and some rooms maintenance obviously needs more attention.e.g.broken toilet seats.

    10LauraPosted on: 9-14-2024

    Everything is so cozy here, I loved our stay. The view is spectacular. I also enjoyed the breakfast.Staff is great.

    Coffee was not good :(

    8SandraPosted on: 9-13-2024

    Room view, peaceful location, nice personel, good quality tea during breakfast, hotel concept. Can truly recommend it :)

    Mess in the gym with dosen of mosquitos inside and very less equipment (couldnt really call it gym), it would be nice to have some small table in the balcony. Would be nice to fill with water other swimming pools not only one of them and make it adults only so u can rest without many kids screaming :)

    10DanielPosted on: 9-11-2024

    The stuff was amazing helpful and so kind and nice hotel was very clean quiet and a good location area

    8GarryPosted on: 9-6-2024

    interesting location in the small village. Staff is super friendly! If you love vintage stuff (old furniture, cameras, cars, etc') you gonna enjoy it. Free parking! Breakfast is ok, except of orange and coffee - these are awful. Nice pool. Rooms are ok, with a nice view to the mountains (choose the room with he view, otherwise you will face the noisy pool area).p.s Eat in the small place near the supermarket. It's not fancy, but food is good

    coffee and orange are horrible. Shower is very old and cramped. The room is kinda small too

    Very quiet and relaxing, very clean, very helpful staff

    10PrisquePosted on: 8-15-2024

    Peace and quiet (up in the mountains). Nice big pool, lots of shaded loungers, pool bar.Confortable beds. Tastefully decorated.

    My wife thinks the breakfast was just average. Personally I think the breakfast was good.

    10KimPosted on: 8-8-2024

    We didnt dine there at all, in fact I dont think the restaurant was open they were only serving pool-side snacks, but we loved everything about our stay. Staff were so lovely and helpful.

    8SofiaPosted on: 8-7-2024

    Serene atmosphere. Quiet enough to grasp nature's sounds. Very good gardening effort extending your eye to the green mountain behind the street. Decent food options in walking distance. Clean pool facilities with a snack bar available on site, very comfy for kids. Tennis and mini golf equipment are provided for free and bikes with helmets as well. Board games and chess at their lobby as well as a full-size piano for whomever interested! Hair dryer and mini fridge and vanity set provided in room price. Very kind and hospitable people, making the travel experience much personalized and unique.

    The way the twin beds room is arranged (bed, side bed table, bed) is leaving very limited space to move around the room. It could be bed side table, bed, bed, side table, that would leave more space on the sides. Shower curtain could be a little longer, so that water does not spill all over the bathroom floor.
