Beautiful location in the olive groves. Super-relaxing place to stay, lovely pool, staff couldn't have been more helpful. Good base for exploring western Crete, lots of walks advice available. Breakfasts and dinners (optional) were excellent, and there are also plenty of tavernas nearby for when you want to eat out.

Rooms and bathrooms are just slightly old-fashioned, but that's part of the 'traditional' charm. Blankets were rather small for the bed (and it wasn't cold enough for heavy duvet). The approach from the National road is narrow and a little scary at first, but you soon get used to it and also realise there are other options.

This was a perfect location to wind down from a hectic year of work. Situated in the middle of a vast farmland on the mounts behind Chania, the location is a beautifully kept old farm that has been totally recovered with modern and comfortable amenities and a very good taste for decoration, while retaining the desired rusticity you need in such a place. The room was quite good and impeccably cleaned every day, with more than enough space for a week clothing and luggage. It included a large shaded balcony overlooking the landscape to the olive groves and a church in the distance. We dined once in the open air restaurant and had breakfast there every day. This was a real treat with a large selection of options ranging from eggs to tzatziki, cereals, Greek yogurt, and assorted pastries. Coffee, tea, milk and juice also available. All the staff was quite professional and friendly and were quite amused by my efforts to learn a few words of Greek. Our thanks to Monda and Maria and especially to Efi, the owner.

The bed mattress was a bit too soft, my wife had trouble sleeping and was left with a sore back.

we had a a great time in this hotel. the room was cozy, clean and had everything you need. also every room has a private seating area outside underneath the olive trees. we also had dinner at the location and the food was amazing. we also used the pool frequently. the pool was always clean, had a great size and the view was amazing. They offered very nice options for breakfast. One of the employees also cooked at night and she was so kind and welcoming. she truly cared about our experience at the hotel.

the owner of the property is not the friendliest person. we always felt a bit judged and she did not seem very engaged in running the business.

Beautiful charming old house and garden, surrounded by olive groves. Every room has its own little outside bit, in addition to the top terrace with the view you see in the pictures. Friendly staff, laid-back atmosphere, lovely pool with a view and it was still working and warm enough to swim in in late October. (No hot tub or anything like that though). Comfortable bed and pillows, beautiful furniture in the room. Powerful hot shower. We also very much appreciated that they made up the room every day.

We were a bit disappointed with the breakfasts, having had high expectations from some of the other reviews on here. OK, but nothing really delicious.

The hotel is a great location in the area to do different activities around Crete (hiking, visiting Chania, or to drive to a beach). The breakfast was the best we had in Crete and the host was very friendly and made you feel welcome. You have the option to book dinner. They serve delicious typical healthy cretan food.The garden of the hotel is a small paradise. You can simply enjoy all the flowers and wildlife, or relax at the pool with a great view.Very relaxing and refreshing to get out of the fast paced day to day life. Would recommend it anytime.

Efi is delightful and very helpful with ideas of where to go, etc. The hotel is in a very rural situation surrounded by lovely olive groves. The view from the dining area (up steep steps) and from the pool area is stunning. Pool is lovely with hardly anyone there. Good breakfasts with plenty of choice.

The standard room (which we booked) was really tiny and crammed with a lot of heavy furniture. The bed was very narrow and not adequate for two adults. Bathroom again very small indeed. Sadly the view from the room was into high trees and bushes making the room dark.

Lovely secluded setting. Felt very special. Spa treatment was amazing. Lots to do and see but equally lovely just by the pool. Views outstanding.

Nothing.

This is a wonderful little hotel. The setting is beautiful – in the foothills of the Cretan mountains, this traditional farmhouse with pretty gardens and olive groves, is just a fifteen minute drive down to the coast. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and full of character, and every room has its own outdoor seating area. We enjoyed having breakfast and home-cooked dinner (if you wish) on the al fresco terrace, overlooking the olive grove and the Mediterranean beyond. (We watched the sun set every evening from the terrace.) But, best of all was the warm welcome and all the help we received from Efi and her staff - nothing was too much trouble.

The breakfasts offered an array of local delights from fresh-squeezed orange juice to homemade pastries. The sitting areas for enjoying breakfasts or an evening cocktail were lovely and private, surrounded by gardens. Likewise, the dinner on the upper terrace with a mesmerizing view were carefully prepared and reasonably priced. We often had the pool to ourselves mid-day and the staff couldn't have been more helpful all around.

The upper terrace would have been transcendent were the lighting a little more subdued...either candles, real or electric or more mellow lighting rather than the overhead, harsh and cold lighting would have added greatly to the experience.

The location is fabulous and the people are terrific. It is perfect place for an escape - stress-free - perfect. The views are amazing and the food excellent. Could not be better.
