Un séjour superbe, avec un accueil exceptionnel et une ambiance magnifique.
Pros:

J'ai passé un excellent séjour dans cet hôtel géré par une famille en Crète. L'accueil était très chaleureux, la chambre était propre et confortable, et l'ambiance était calme et authentique. C'est l'endroit idéal pour se détendre et découvrir une Crète loin du tourisme de masse. Je recommande cet hôtel sans hésitation !

Amazing place to relax with great view and food
Pros:

Everything was amazing, and I have already recommended the resort to friends both in Crete and abroad. The location is easy to reach by boat or on foot (via E4) from Loutro.

Mr Sifis and his family were always available and happy to help. The view from my room was very beautiful. I also liked that guests can rent a canoe, although I didn't try it this time.

The food at the restaurant was delicious, with plenty of options to choose from.

Cons:

Just a practical note: Mobile coverage is very limited in the area - no surprise as it is a remote settlement. Wi-Fi is available throughout the resort, although the connection worked best in certain areas. I was already aware of it and it did help me to disconnect and fully relax.

Petit coin de paradis
Pros:

Un petit coin de paradis avec vue imprenable sur la mer. Les chambres sont fonctionnelles et propres. Vous avez des réductions sur les transats en bas de l’hôtel. Les propriétaires sont adorables.
Loutro est accessible en 20 min à pied et des navettes passent régulièrement pour relier les plages alentours.
Je conseille de venir en voiture pour une vue splendide et une descente à sensation forte!

Cons:

Traumhafte Lage direkt am Meer!
Pros:

Die Lage direkt am Meer ist wunderbar, das Zimmer sehr schön und neu, rundherum freundliche Menschen!

Cons:

Warmes Wasser zum Duschen und tägliches Zimmerservice wären noch super! Und: das Meerwasser war etwas trüb im Vergleich zu den kristallklaren Buchten in der Umgebung.

A little paradise cove, away from the main tourist attraction of Loutro
Pros:

An exceptional location, for those who want to get away from the crowds. The hosts were so welcome and kind to us, and this was exactly the kind of little beach town/cove we were hoping to find. It is a 15 minute walk from Loutros, just over the hill, but much smaller and more intimate. There is a good local Taverna and cafe, small beach without the same crowds as Loutro. A perfect find!

Fantastic!!
Pros:

I absolutely loved the location—I would call it a hidden paradise with owners who are absolute gems, simple and genuine people. I fell asleep to the sound of the sea and we woke up to the sound of sheep bells... what a beautiful life! I will definitely come back for more days

Cons:

Amazing and quiet place.
Pros:

We enjoyed the less crowded area, almost secluded.
The genuine and true kindness of the host and staff who helped us enjoy our stay.
We drove there, but people need to be comfortable with narrow and high roads.
Getting there by boat might be better for some people.
We walked to Loutro and hiked at the near by Iron Gates, which is a must do if you like the outdoors. (Need to take 45 minutes ferry boat from Loutro to Iron Gates)

Perfect summer holidays if you want to calm down and experience the beauty that is Crete
Pros:

The most beautiful place in the still very rural south west of Crete. A true oasis of tranquility. The hosts were the best- we felt right at home.
