    Our room facing the sea was quite small. I saw another room not facing the sea and it seemed a little nicer and larger.

    The staff were great, really friendly. The location was A1. The bed was comfortable. The property was nice looking.

    The design was great! It really looks like a little village in the village. It is well design, and the room too. We had 2 balconies, with one of which with a view on the sea. The host was super helpful in guiding us around as much with restaurants, as for ticket purchasing for the boat to Agia Roumeli (for the Samaria Gorge) , she even gave us the opportunity to discover a very nice secluded beach not so far.

    The girl at the reception was so friendly and helpful. She gave me lot of travel information (boats, buses, schedules). She could not have been more helpful. Also, the room was beautifully designed and appointed.

    The hotel is a very nice small complex that looks like a cretan village, but has all modern amenities. Very nice staff and general atmosphere in the village of Chora Sfakion. We would definitely come back 😊

    We had an absolutely lovely stay at this hotel for 4 nights. Without a doubt one of the few gems of the south and around Sfakia, this hotel was luxurious. The rooms are beautifully designed, with exposed stone, lovely oak furniture and white painted walls meaning typical Greek style with a modern twist. The bathroom was large, rainfall shower and had everything we needed, the bed comfortable and bed linen soft and silky. We slept like babies after busy days exploring the south of Crete. Our room had a nicely appointed balcony with sea views, the aircon worked really well and it was always nice going back to such an inviting and comfortable room. Lots of space for bags and clothes in the handmade wardrobes. The whole hotel looks stunning and should win some design awards if it hasn't already. If you can appreciate fine woodworking, you'll love this place! One thing to point out is the short walk and steps from the reserved parking area, not a problem though as staff are happy to help with bags. And on that note, the staff, especially Zorka, are absolutely lovely, welcoming and helpful and we already can't wait for our next stay.
