Our 3 night stay at the Monastery Guesthouse was fabulous. George had informed us they were doing work on the road and to take care which was needed, it is a steep descent down but perfectly fine! Upon arrival we were welcomed with a smile and the girls on reception helped with all our questions and requests. Lots of tips about walking the Samaria Gorge and how to get the bus and boat! It’s location is a little remote but the glorious views and nearby gorges and Elafonissi beach (~90min drive) make this place a perfect mountain retreat! Breakfast was delivered to our door and was great value (€10 extra per person). Due to COVID the restaurant is only open for certain nights and luckily our first night we ate there! Do a shop before you arrive if you are planning on cooking. Extremely clean and felt very safe in the current pandemic. Complimentary private use of the spa was an added touch and along with the hot tub is perfect after a long day walking! We would highly recommend a stay at George’s place and hope the visit the Monastery resorts in Chania and Athens in the future! Thank you
