A little walk to the tavernas might not suit everyone but was fine for us.

Beautifully tended gardens, so many secret places to have a cup of coffee, coffee maker supplied. Hammocks, views to die for, like a retreat.

The place is just perfect!!! The apartment is clean and with all the accessories. The Garden is really beatiful, silent, with hammocks and a fantastic view on Zacros bay. The location is very close to get the best beaches and Zacros gorge. The owner is so nice and helpful. A perfect place to relax

Inspirationally-made environment in great location

The property is one of the most beautiful I've ever stayed at. You walk out of your room and you're in a lush botanical garden, with sea views in the distance and the Gorge of the Dead behind you. The room is spacious and has a very nice bathroom. We greatly enjoyed the rooftop terraces and all of the different lounging options in the garden. We also hiked up the road that goes past the property to a beautiful overlook of the Gorge. You can smell all of the wild mountain herbs, which Stella's was kind enough to have in the room as well, for use. It's a beautiful and manageable walk down to the beach, passing the Gorge and lots of olive and fruit groves, as well as the ruins of a Minion palace.

Garden. Hands down. We were speachless when we walked the garden. Amazing work by the owners. So amazing garden architecture you might only find in Japan mountains. Also we loved the near beaches of Xerokampos area and the tasty food of the tavernas at Kato Zakros, And the shop at Zakros village is well supplied with local products. The bed in the studio fitted my body and we had a comfortable sleep.

beautiful, quiet place with beautiful gardens that surround the rooms. close walking to the Gorge of the Dead, and the Minoan site of Kato Zakros. Good fish tavernas and beach in walking distance. Good wi-if!! Stella and her son Strati are very helpful.

With the trees came mosquitoes, that was the only negative.

If you were planning to stay in the beach front town, Stella studios are in the trees with a wonderful Eastern view for sunrise and an exceptional relaxing location for dinner or a beverage outside your room.

The rooms are situated in an idyllic, beautiful, extraordinary garden. Amazing sunrises! Peaceful and serene. Comfortable room-very well appointed decorated with traditional Greek antiques. All the equipment needed for food prep is available (should you want to cook with several great tavernas nearby!). Stella and her staff are fantastic. Her other rooms, Stella’s Minoika, on the neighboring hillside, are modern and gorgeous with views to die for. We had the opportunity to stay in both. Both are beyond special!

A 15 minute walk down to the nearest taverna… and uphill all the way back might put some people off. but it’s worth it!

Stella’s studios exude charm. magnificent views, very well designed, immensely peaceful setting. brilliant feng shut, very private sitting areas and hammocks out of doors.

A beautiful property filled with lovely plants and flowers in the outdoor areas. Quaint, comfortable rooms. Communal kitchen where you can prepare your own breakfast with ample breakfast foods supplied.

Too much clutter

Location and garden

Stayed in September 2023

The location is a bit too far out from the beach. There is no view, as the property is surrounded by high hedges and bushes. There is no reception on site, no bar, no staff (they are all in the other location, 2 km away). During our visit (mid july) there were hardly any other guests. So no guests, no staff, it was all rather weird.

I like the lay-out, with separate rooms, each with their own terrace. They are beautifully built, a bit small but fine.
