"The property was very clean and well maintained. All of the staff were extremely friendly. Overall the food was very good.
Not at all the properties fault but it rained 2 of the 4 days we stayed at this resort. A lot of this resorts amenities (ping pong, full size chess) and even some of the a la carte restaurants do not operate when it's raining. And with everyone needing to be inside, the common area's felt a bit cramped."

This is an extraordinary boutique hotel. Our room was luxurious with a very large balcony with large table and hot tub. Very nice view as well. Staff was welcoming, informative, and answered all questions well. Breakfast was delicious and substantial. Although a little bit out of the historic downtown area of Iraklion, that district was a very walkable distance away. We enjoyed being in the less touristy part of the city and enjoying the local restaurants and shops frequented by residents....

Perfect place to stay away from the chaos of Heraklion! The food in the restaurant is AMAZING - definitely try the grilled mushrooms if you can (we had it twice)! The homemade white and red wine are also amazing! The room was clean and spacious, and the property itself is beautiful and peaceful. Nicolas was an amazing dinner host. We loved every minute of our stay!

Vangelis is an amazing host. He went above and beyond to help us with recommendations and acted incredibly quickly to resolve things when we had a minor issue with our room. The room was very clean and well situated in the central area. Our only comment would be that there isn't much in the way of functional space, not many places to put toiletries or large suitcases.

This is a wonderful property to stay at in Iraklion. The host is very good with communication replies almost immediately. The room was spacious and very clean. Everything was comfortable the location is excellent.
The biggest bonus for me, however, was how helpful my host was when I ran into trouble. I had a rental car that got a flat and, because I was having trouble using my American iPhone in Greece, I couldn't get a hold of the rental agency. My host was extremely helpful in helping me...

Don’t even bother reading my review. Just click book. Staying here was unbelievable. I almost didn’t believe my eyes, that I had the right place. It’s incredible: brand new, great square footage, ridiculous amenities, and the reception man was very very kind to us. I wish I could live here. When I saw the room and the building, I deeply deeply regretted that I was only here for two days. Out of the 5+ places I’ve stayed in Greece, this is BY FAR the best, and all those places got great reviews...
