"This was by far the best hotel we have ever booked in our life. From the warm and welcoming staff, to the excellent food, and the beautifully designed, high-quality rooms, everything was absolutely perfect. Upon arrival, we were greeted with refreshing drinks and taken to our room by golf cart. Once we arrived, both the room itself and the breathtaking view left us speechless. Every member of the team from reception to housekeeping to the restaurant staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and...

"The husband and wife hosts are lovely people. Elaina baked fresh goodies twice for us and presented a bottle of wine for our room. The only suggestion I would offer is to have a small coffee maker/ kettle in the room. My hubby and I were not feeling well and couldn’t get out for breakfast so this would have been a great amenity. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. Flowers everywhere and the pool is inviting. We loved the tranquil atmosphere. We would recommend this hotel."

"Do not book this hotel at the last minute if you are arriving late at night. I arrived, and the entire place was dark. There were no check-in instructions provided with the confirmation email, and the hotel would not answer the phone number. As a result, I was sitting in their parking lot until 1:30am, and hotels.com was not helpful at all. This hotel should not accept last minute bookings, if they are not available 24 hours/day, and it's concerning that they do not answer the published phone...

"This was by far the most unique, amazing hotel we stayed at on the island of Crete. Upon arrival we were given fresh-squeezed lemonade made from their own lemon trees. The staff was so friendly! The building is over 500 years old, and nothing like I've ever seen before. The suite we got was huge, (living room, full kitchen, dining room, and bathroom downstairs and 2 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs). We had our own private patio and a back door that led right to the pool. The town and the people...
