Fantastic experience, delightful site and staff. Unique hotel in a unique place.
Pros:

Superb food, lovely staff, astonishing mountainous location. This is a rebuilt village abandoned centuries ago and sensitively reconstructed. Come here for a peaceful, remote, charismatic holiday with world-class dining. Don't come here if you want lights, lots of people and many facilities.

Cons:

Just one electrical socket in the room was a bit limiting, but understandable given that the hotel is off-grid. Guests should be aware that you can't park near the rooms and that it is a 15-minute climb by car from the nearest village on a gravel track part of the way. This just adds to the charm!

Außergewöhnliche Unterkunft mit tollem Essen und Superservice mitten in den Bergen!
Pros:

Diese Unterkunft und auch das Essen hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen! Die Lage mitten in den Bergen, die liebevoll restaurierten Steinhäuser, das Essen, der Service - alles SUPER! Da es für Oktober nachts ungewöhnlich kühl war, wurde quasi rund um die Uhr geheizt (Holzofen neben unserem Häuschen, dass die Heizung im Zimmer versorgt hat - sehr originell). Wir haben tolle Wanderungen unternommen - auch mithilfe der Tipps und Unterlagen des Rezeptionisten. Und das Essen sucht seinesgleichen! Das Beste, das wir je auf Kreta hatten. Das Personal ist überaus freundlich und der Service exzellent! Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Loved the concept... Issues executing
Pros:

Wonderful, amazing concept. Stunning location. Excellent staff. Amazing restaurant, best food during our 4 week trip to Crete.

Cons:

We were there for 3 nights. The weather was not great and we struggled to stay warm. There was a fireplace but the first night there was no wood. We requested wood the next morning but there was never enough to keep the fire going for more than 4 or 5 hours at a time (so it was out in the morning). We were without hot water one morning and without power the next. We have lived off the grid and understand the challenges. However, for the price (our room was USD$230 a night) we should have at least been warm. Expensive by any standard and absurd when you are freezing and can't take a shower because the room is too cold and there is no hot water. Again, many things to like about this property but comfort was not one of them.

Un ritiro ai confini del mondo
Pros:

L’etica. le camere e lo staff

Cons:

Il fatto che su Booking non fosse indicato che per raggiungerla si dovessero percorrere 3 km di sterrato, se lo avessi saputo non avrei prenotato lì
