Spent three nights in October in a junior suite. Location is great and there are a lot to explore in the surrounding areas.
The staff was extremely kind and helpful.
Although the sunbeds and the pool was a beautiful touch we couldn’t use them as much as we had hoped since the sun never reached them. Maybe it’s different during the summer.

We stayed two nights at the Monastery Estate in Sougia. It was the perfect location to explore the surroundings and hike through Samaria Gorge. The room was minimalistic, but spacious and comfy. The little terrace with the pool was quiet and a nice little refugium. The staff was extremely friendly and attentive. They helped us with all our questions and even went above and beyond when we realized that we misplaced our car key. Thank you Georgia!
The only negative is the bathroom, which is very basic and in the need of a makeover: the paint started peeling, the towel rack broke off.

The hotel is nice, with beautiful view on the mountain from the room. Really calm place to rest and enjoy the surroundings, Sougia and Lissos for example.
Staff is excellent. I really would like to thank the full hotel Team for their kindness and professionalism.

This hotel was amazing.
The rooms were luxury, the reception staff exceptionally friendly, the view beautiful and the privacy unmatched. There is no restaurant and every food ordered comes straight to your room which means everyone is in their own private spaces.
If you do feel like a restaurant there is the village taverna about a 2 min walk up the hill which I can also recommend!

Amazing experience, would love to do it again.
I recommend it, honestly, the place is gorgeous, the people are lovely and very helpful! The view is beautiful and breakfasts are VERY good (I recommend the Cretan breakfast).
Sougia, the nearest village, is very cute. Not crowded of tourists.

Second consecutive mid August summer break here and I can’t recommend this enough … starts feeling like home away from home. Perfection in client service by Maria & Vaggelis. Both Retreat and Guesthouse are fantastic it really depends what you prioritise.
