STAY

Stay in one of the most beautiful places in Crete with friendly and warm people.

Feel the relaxing atmosphere in a beautiful representation of an old Cretan Village. Our unique thematic village is perfectly located on a hillside, away from the hustle and the bustle of the city. Enjoy the spectacular view of the valley and Heraklion city, the pure and peaceful surroundings, and all the genuine magical scenery. Capture the essence of that time, only 11km away from Heraklion 20 minutes by car from the airport. Very close to the ruins of Knossos, to the airport, and to the East-West highway that connects you to the entire island.

Built in traditional form the rooms are colorful in perfect Cretan style. They cover your basic needs, that's part of the charm,harmonised with the nature and pattern of the rest of the village. Each room is unique and independent. The decoration of the rooms is essential and intentionally rustic which adds a country and homey feeling. There are single and double rooms and also for more people three and four.

You will experience the authentic life that the cretans lived a few decades ago in clean rooms, wonderful architecture. It is not very common to live in a hotel that is part of a traditional village-museum so in this sense it is an interesting experience. We are different and we like it !!!

The village: is absolutely glorious and attractive with wonderful panoramas as far as the eye can see over both the city and the surrounding mountains. Lemon trees and blooming oleander, and olive trees through the little streets. A cultural village-museum.

The hotel: traditional, rustic, atypic, charming, thematic, comfortable and clean and authentic in style. It is basic but has everything you need. The rooms give you a feeling of a real Cretan experience.

The people: friendly, polite, warm, welcoming, true, discreet, all dedicated!
The food: delicious
The feeling: like home, relaxation, contemplation
The poolside: breathtaking, perfect
Good value for money

Guests declare:
“It is the result of one man's vision. As a young man, he left his village and told his father that he had a vision to build a re-creation of what it would have been like to live in earlier times on Crete. It was a private project and family owned enterprise designed to celebrate and honour his Cretan heritage.
This is not just a place to stay, it's like being on the set of Mamma Mia! It's difficult not to imagine Julie Walters and Meryl Streep dancing on the tables as you sit in the open air restaurant admiring the fantastic views over the sea, before making your way down the narrow streets through the village to your house.”
