What an incredible experience! My husband and I stayed in this magical mountain refuge for several nights in the middle of our Crete honeymoon, and this was an absolute highlight. From the fruit and nut trees woven seamlessly into the property, to the spacious rooms with cozy beds and perfect privacy, to the comforting and absolutely delicious meals we were served every day at the tavern—this stay truly had it all. We loved walking the nearby mountain roads and stumbling upon so many small churches, bee-keeping farms, and endless grape vines and apple trees. Hospitality couldn’t have been better—the staff went out of their way again and again to accommodate and make us comfortable. A quick heads-up: if you aren’t a fan of bees, this might not be the best match for you during bee season, as there were many around the property (some of them even congregating around the pool). Also: the roads you take are steep and winding, but always paved, so not too treacherous; our rental car fared beautifully. We’ll cherish these memories for years to come, and hope to be back again.
