“Amazing stay, gorgeous hotel, great location”
One of the best hotels we have stayed in. The staff are just so welcoming, and working hard to provide the best service to make your stay perfect. Gorgeous room, exceptionally clean, complimentary water and coffee always stocked, beach towel service, lovely balcony / outside area to sit and enjoy the morning or afternoon sun after your day of adventures. Perfect location in a chilled little town to explore, hike or bike. Few steps to the to beach for evening swims! We absolutely loved it.

“A really lovely well-run hotel.”
Very comfortables rooms. Hotel in a quiet area but a short walk to restaurants and the port. Wanted to write this review to highly commend the staff who did everything they could to help us when bad weather meant we had to extend our stay by a day and did so at a fair rate for the night.

“Better than perfect … MAGIC! 🇬🇷✨♥️”
This was by far one of the best hotels and stays we have ever been to. The warm sincere welcome and the genuine Greek hospitality blew our minds. And then the rooms and the entire property: gosh! … the beauty, the interior design, the colour patterns and the entire atmosphere truly defines the word “PERFECTION”.

“Beautiful hotel, great view, amazing staff.”
Lovely hotel, set about 5 mins walk up the hill from the seafront/harbour. Fairly newly built it seems but very sympathetically done and blends into the surroundings. Quick and easy access to the restaurants and amenities in the town. The room was lovely - tasteful decor, comfortable bed, great shower, plenty of space and storage. Lovely view over the sea. Easy to get to local beaches (which are incredible), either on foot or by regular boats/ferries. Staff were incredibly helpful and nothing was any trouble. They had great recommendations for the local area and Crete more widely. All in all, a really memorable stay and not particularly expensive, for the quality.
