Tranqiul relaxing mountain retreat

Such a Beautiful property set in a peaceful small mountain town. Excellent welcoming host! Loved the pattio and as special touch there is a lemontree 🫶 Its a short enough drive from elafonisi beach too As hint for others the place is not exact on maps it took me up a dead end just follow the main path (right if you cross a bridge) and the building is there with parking signaged and the building is too.

Very cozy authentic place in a small quiet village in the mountains, but still not far from wonderful beaches and hiking trails. The owners and personnel are very welcoming and helpful, the breakfast is very tasty and abundant, in a courtyard under the shade of the trees with the view.. We stayed one week and truly enjoyed it, it got a special place in our hearts..

We did not receive any check-in instructions, and when we called the person who replied seemed more intent on having a private conversation than answering us. Once in, the place is nice but, being in the shade of a mountain, very cold. The fact that A/C was only operating in cooling mode, and that shower did not have any warm water (we tried to message about this, but no reply was provided), didn't help.

Beautiful and suggestive place

Very nice place, our room was at ground floor equipped with all the needs. The location is quiet suggestive as in a small small village at the valley of mountains but very close to Elafonissy beach, just about 20 minutes. The lady that welcomed us was super nice and instructed us with some advices also offered a peace of cake! Comphy bed and overall nice room!

Wonderful hosts, beautiful fairytale and quiet location.

Beautifully remodeled old Cretan house into modern standards. Without losing its character. Loved the lemon trees on the porch! And the hosts were lovely, bringing cake and figs and beer. So homely!

Mountain home in great natural setting, close to beautiful beaches

Loved the location hidden in the beautiful mountains, very peaceful place, away from the most touristic areas, yet short drive to Elafonisi and other nice beaches nearby, recommended by our host Eleni (who gave us great tips about places to visit, where to eat, etc.). The place was very clean and comfortable, we stayed for 3 nights and we regret that we didn't have more time. The village is very small, but in the next villages there are grocery stores and good tavernas, just few minutes drive.

A peaceful mountain retreat with warm hospitality and great access to Elafonissi beach.

The location felt truly unique — a peaceful and scenic spot nestled in the Cretan mountains. The outdoor jacuzzi was a wonderful touch, and the host was incredibly kind, welcoming us with a delicious piece of homemade cake. The room was large, comfortable, and very clean — perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.

We stayed here for 3 days and absolutely loved it. The room was spacious, modern, clean, and incredibly comfortable. Eleni - the host was amazing - so welcoming and generous. We were treated to delicious homemade cakes twice during our stay, which was such a thoughtful touch. The breakfast was a true highlight: all homemade, plentiful, and incredibly tasty. This was by far our favorite accommodation of the entire trip. Highly recommended!
