"The most delightful lady helping us when we arrived. She is the matriarch of the family and treated us as if we were long lost relatives coming for a visit. Wonderful landlady. Room was comfortable and clean. Views were to die for."

"This is a really wonderful and unique place to stay in Crete. It was such a lovely feeling to be waking up in an elegant windmill! It is well equipped and comfortable with everything you need for a holiday. The grounds are superb with outdoor space for sitting and eating, and flowers in the extensive gardens. We enjoyed trips to the beach at Vai and Itanos as well as a visit to the monastery at Toplou, and would also recommend the local restaurant in Agio Fotia, Dionysos. The welcome in Crete is outstanding and our visit was everything we hoped it would be."

"Lovely welcome, polite staff. We had a room upgrade to a sea view which was nice. Breakfast was plentiful but as it was end of season the bread rolls and croissants were very dry. The fruit had swarms of fruit flies so we decided not to bother, but there were other options. The pool area looked nice and clean with lots of seating options. It was very quiet, possibly we were there on their last open weekend, not sure. Sound proofing wasn’t good In the bedroom, we could hear a man talking loudly either in the next room or in the corridor around midnight. I’m sure that in the height of the season it is a very different experience. Having said that the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. We don’t think it merits the 5* rating. "

"The Old Pomegranate House was an enchanting place to stay. Views of the bay, beautiful sunsets and a cozy, well appointed, clean space to call home. Perfectly located to explore Eastern Crete. Recommendations from our hosts were detailed and really enhanced our trip. They also left us delicious feta, and local tomatoes and cucumbers- we feasted on these for breakfast our entire stay. We hope to return some day! "

"It was a shame that lunch wasn’t available by the pool - only toasted sandwiches The setting was beautiful - rooms clean and staff friendly "

"Great spot to allow exploration of Eastern Crete. Villa lovely and Makry Gialos enough to make our stay varied and cooking easy"

"We received a very warm welcome by the owners. Although we arrived early they accommodated us and checked us in early. The breakfast was authentic and delicious! The rooms spacious and clean. And oh, the view Fantastic!! I wish we could have stayed longer"
