Amazing outside pool, very peaceful, spacious apartment

Stayed in August 2025

The apartment we rented was excelent. It's close enough (1 hour by car) to the Heraklion airport, and at a driveable distance (30 to 45 minutes by car) to many excelent beaches and small villages. We met our hostess Maria, which was really kind and made it feel like we were staying at a family apartment. We'll definitely come back if we ever come to Crete again.

Keep in mind it is a steep walk up and I recommend to come by car.

Nice spacious, clean apartment. We had a spacious terrace with an amazing view

Nothing. Everything was good. Nothing to complain

The only downside to these apartments is the steep climb to them. So if you have mobility problems then it could be an issue.

I can’t praise this place enough. We extended our stay here because it is so special. We stayed in two apartments over five days. In both the facilities are excellent and the furnishings are finished to a superb standard. Both were spotlessly clean, in fact amazingly so. All of the decoration appears brand new as does the equipment in the kitchens. The pool is lovely. Maria and her son are friendly and helpful. There is a small mini market less than five minutes away with a larger supermarket 10 minutes away. A good taverna within walking distance and a beach also 15 minutes walk. Overall amazing value for money.

Maria, the manager of the resort, is a very nice person. Always ready to help. Beautiful view of Istro, the valley full of olives, the mountain and the sea. Nearby is a mini supermarket and a restaurants/bistro/cafe. It is definitely worth having a car.

Shower drained slow. The Jacuzzi was not working properly. The overhead light on the back door was not working.

The people, the service, the rooms

The hill is very steep so you need to be mobile, definitely got my heart rate up!

The location is good, coffee shop across the road, mini market 2 mins away, a few tavernas within 10 minutes. Hosts are lovely

Now I understand why people are returning to this place many times! The communication with the owner and Maria was superb! We had 2 rooms during our stay - one room and a second villa with a small pool. Both places are perfect. The first room was spotless, refreshed, spacious and very cozy, with a total Greek vibe! Everything worked perfectly. The kitchen is very well equipped with new appliances - toasters/kettle or Nespresso machine! We were working remotely for 2 days and WIFI was excellent! The villa is modern, very comfortable, also well equipped. Mosqutiera's in the windows and doors are genius! And privet terrace with a small whirlpool and sunbeds. Cozy, comfortable, modern, clean, refreshing! The common pool is not huge but big enough to swim around. The complex is very well maintained with beautiful plants and little trees. Maria is so a lovely person, she brought me some figs after I asked if there are any in the area! I will definitely come back there! And on top right in front of the apartments, there is a coffee bar, where you can have your favorite Freddo cappuccino or other regular coffee the whole day! And yes, the apartments are on the hill and if you wanna park up next to your doors, you need to know how to drive up the hill- but come on, it's not a big deal and I believe everyone who passed European B driving license should know how to do that. Otherviews you may park the car down in front of the gate (a lot of parking space).

Nothing-we cannot wait to go back!

The deluxe villa is beautiful and of a very high standard. The bathroom is amazing with a LED mirror and a power shower, the beds are so comfortable and there is even a jacuzzi! There are two outside areas with seating with great views and two private sun loungers too. Yiannis and his family really are excellent hosts and make you feel so welcome. We definitely recommend you stay here!

Rode to the parking spor was very steep and a bit difficult if everybody needs a place for their car

Very nice and helpful hosts, beautiful view

Maybe not for people with mobility issues and parking can be a bit tricky. If unsure, just park down on the street level and walk up...

This hotel is really good value. I live on Crete and visit this area several times throughout the year. I've stayed in different places around Ag. Nicholas and really liked so much about this place. Very friendly people running the taverna (as others have noted the food was very good too) and the hotel. Very clean and exactly what we wanted with the two bedrooms. Views were lovely. Kitchen has what you need .You are on a main road but its all very quiet at night. Pool area was very nice. And close to the best beaches. A solid 9 out of 10. Will definitely stay again.

Frendly owner Maria, good lokation to discover eastern Crete.

The apartments are located by a large and terribly noisy road, you hear cars passing from very early morning well into the night.

The apartment was large, cleaned every second day and had a comfortable terrace; the pool area was nice, clean and almost always empty. A sheltered beach is nearby. There are some nice running routes.
