Felt so lucky to find Valley View Lodge! If you’re looking for a place away from the tourist areas with quaint small village charm, this is it. Not much happening in the village but a walk around gives a feel for the quiet life away from the coast. Eat at the Golden Cage for dinner, the only restaurant in the old part of town. Good food and eclectically decorated. The lodge was comfortable, with a lovey balcony for lounging. It is just as pictured. The stairs are a little tricky but easily managed. Julie and Manthos were so welcoming and helpful! Even met us so we could follow them through the village to a parking area. Loved our stay, wished we had booked it for longer. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2023 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### FABIENNE B. 20 Sept 2012 #### "Cet appartement, dans un... "Cet appartement, dans un village très préservé, est tout simplement magnifique. Prendre son café sur la terrasse, avec le seul bruit des moutons et des oiseaux, et profiter du paysage extraordinaire des champs d''oliviers à l''infini...Quel régal!!! Le propriétaire est incroyablement serviable et sympathique. Nous n''en avons connu rarement de meilleur ( nous allons en Grèce chaque année depuis 13 ans ). Si vous voulez découvrir autre chose que la plage ( le village en est assez éloigné ), alors n''hésitez pas. Encore un grand merci à Manthos et Julie " ##### FABIENNE B. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [City Green Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-City-Green-Hotel.h10508153.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsis Rinela](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Mitsis-Rinela-Beach-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h2335564.Hotel-Information) > > [Esperides Resort Crete, The Authentic Experience](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Esperides-Resort-Crete.h2894041.Hotel-Information) > > [Mitsis Royal Mare](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Mitsis-Royal-Mare.h1181666.Hotel-Information) > > [Creta Maris Resort - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Creta-Maris-Resort-All-Inclusive.h541819.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal & Imperial Belvedere Resort - All inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-Royal-Imperial-Belvedere-Hotels.h1191451.Hotel-Information) > > [The Island - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hersonissos-Hotels-The-Island-Adults-Only.h1789428.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Blue!
