Monastery Estate Retreat

Everything. Even though the room I got was a little different from the photos, I had a wonderful stay. The dinner and breakfast were delicious, the sauna was great, the room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were lovely. The location is perfect for guests who enjoy traveling at a slower pace and exploring the surrounding area. I’d love to stay here again if I come back to Crete.

Almost nothing. Few bugs fell down on the outdoor pool.

The views were stunning, the room was modern and comfortable. Staff were all lovely and helped arrange hiking.

Eating on our balcony was fine and food tasty but I still prefer a restaurant.

We loved the location. There is a little tavern above the hotel that can be reached by walking in the evening where food is great and owners are so nice and welcoming. The staff was lovely, giving great advice about activities. The intimacy of the place, how relaxing the hotel feels and the size of the room was just 10/10 The breakfast was good, nice to enjoy on the terrace, wine as well in the evening. (I recommend the hike to lissos!)

The orientation of our terrace wasn’t perfect as it wasn’t in the sun a lot during the day. It’s something we did not expect as we couldn’t enjoy tanning and the swimming as much as we thought. Staff had not told us about the spa as well, we wish we had seen it on the website or been reminded by the staff as we missed it.

We had such a wonderful time at this hotel. The room was beautiful, stylish and very comfortable, great bed, swimming pool one can step out to basically from the bed, parking right in front of the place, very tasty Cretan breakfast, and a family taverna 3 minutes away walking. People working at the hotel deserve special recognition: everyone was so welcoming and friendly and made our stay unforgettable with their care, professionalism, advice and little treats. The area around is very beautiful, many great hikes and a beautiful beach few driving minutes away. We would love to be back one day!
