"Beautiful concept. A very old olive oil producing village recovered and turned inta a hotel. The ancient houses turned into hotel rooms. Breakfast varied and excellent. Would love to return"

"This is a very nice property in a lovely town--very walkable. We enjoyed it very much."

"This villa was perfect for our family of 5. The main level has a nice kitchen, living and dining room with 2 bedrooms and bathrooms. Perfect for my adult children to stay and to cook meals. The 2nd floor has a nice bedroom and bathroom and smaller kitchen and sitting area. Really nice to give me and my husband our own space. Both have fantastic balconies which we spent a lot of time on. Having the pool was great to cool off on hot days or when coming up from the beach which is very close to the villa. I really liked this location because it wasn't in a really busy area yet it was close to bigger towns we wanted to visit. Also loved that there was a grocery store in walking distance along with places to eat. The property managers were incredible. Anytime I had a question, etc they were always quick to respond. They helped me arrange transport from and to the airport, rental car and a meal to be prepared at our villa by a chef. Would definitely recommend staying here. . "

"I had a lovely stay here and would come again. I will say that while the property is clean and the staff take care of it, it does need a little lick of paint here and there but overall it is a beautiful location and a true place to relax and recoup. I was disappointed that there wasn't yoga classes as posted, but I was able to book a private class with a teacher, who was great. Booked with their masseuse a few times as she was WONDERFUL (Rose if I remember rightly) Handy swimming pool right outside my room (salt). And a little general store on site which after realizing that Plakias is a 15min drive away, was good to have on hand. Scuba diving in the cove was gorgeous and there was a little spot you could jump straight into the ocean near the main pool. The cove is not the beach however, the walk to the beach is about 20 minutes and up some very steep stairs. The view is amazing, but I'd recommend wearing solid walking shoes as there is loose gravel/rocks and the drop to the ocean is sheer. The entertainment was mediocre to be honest, and the location would benefit from a karaoke night in my opinion. All-inclusive does not include all drinks, beer and wine only. But the food was decent enough to not bother going into the town except for a treat. Great nudist beach nearby in Plakias, with regular beach down the road. Lovely little town. "

"What a fantastic place to stay. Superb communication with host (Elias) prior to and during stay. There was a food hamper on arrival with wine which was great as we arrived very late in the evening. Villa very spacious with beautiful outdoor courtyard area and spotlessly clean. Lots of character and just a short walk from the village of Margarites which has some lovely ceramic shops and places to eat. Monestary in the village is worth a visit too and we fell in love with the Pomegranate trees. Pool was discreetly cleaned every couple of days. A great base for exploring the central part of Crete with it's dramatic mountain range and beautiful scenery. Rethymno and Panormo great places to visit close by. We would love to re visit. "

"We had a lovely stay at this beautiful villa. Our host could not be more accommodating. From a lovely cooked meal for our arrival as we were late to the package of local goodies and home made cake and also booking recommended restaurant, nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely return and highly recommended if you want a peaceful vacation "

"Beautiful, well run and well managed hotel. "

"The room was very basic for a 5 store hotel. Basic bed and with only two pillows. Air conditioning was not working - the door was closed appropriately in order for it to turn on, but it was warm. We told reception but nothing was done. We stayed in a room with a private pool which was nice, although the water was freezing cold (and we went in late August). Definitely recommend a heated pool. We had a half board - the food was great. We didn’t have a chance to use the amenities."

"Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay, the hosts were fabulous and nothing was too much bother considering we managed to livl ourselves out the first night after a long drive. The villa is spacious, clean and has everything you need it’s like home from home. The beds were the most comfortable we’ve ever stayed in. "
