Monastery Estate Guesthouse

Very friendly and hospitable staff. Lovely views. Great hot tub. Nice having your own kitchen area. Spacious bedroom. Dark bathroom that needed more lighting. Parking and approach to the property was challenging.

Endroit tout simplement magique.au calme. Chambres spacieuses avec piscines privées, calmes. Personnel attentif, repas au top. Le luxe sans être guindé Proche de sougia et des gorges de samaria pour des activités, et sur place pour farniente.

One of most authentic and unique places I've ever seen! The real life is even better than the pictures and the staff and atmosphere are just amazing. So much thought and detail went into converting this place, it's absolutely worth staying there!

We are always looking at trying hotels that are a special and offer that something extra. The luxury lies not necessarily in the amount of stars but in the details, the quality that runs through everything - the interior, the style, the craftsmanship of the furniture, the amenities, the food and overall atmosphere. such a luxurious place is Monastery Estate. The concept is clear - a mountain retreat where you come for deep relaxation, enjoy the serenity of the mountains but still close to the beach, which in itself is laidback with almost transcendental atmosphere. Everything is kept in natural earth colours - beige, brown, grey and black. All furniture is made of good quality wood ( olive wood?) and beautifully crafted. The rooms are minimalistic yet luxurious with a little private pool / patio overlooking the mountains. The bed is dreamy ( medium / soft), the coffee is nespresso and even the small cups are true to the concept - heavy earthtoned ceramic. The retreat offers use of a private sauna, there is an outdoor restaurant serving homemade and locally produced food. The hospitality of the staff is nothing short of the overall quality and is very personal. Thank you Georgia and Georgia. Monastery Estate is a true gem for travellers who seek something away from the main tourist areas, who appreciate tranquility and minimalistic luxury in a beautiful setting.

Monastery estate retreat is such a treat! A hidden gem in the mountains, near marvellous gorges and just 4km from the village of Sougia. The hotel is surrounded by nature in a traditional corner of Crete. The team is incredibly nice, helpful, professional. The rooms are beautiful and confortable and breakfasts are delicious. The team gives fabulous tips. We spent a wonderful time at Monastery Estate.

A wonderful place to spend a relaxing vacation in an idyllic setting in the middle of the Kretan countryside. This stay was accompanied by lovely staff and especially Georgia, who made this vacation just perfect. All the staff were very caring and very friendly. The breakfast brought to the room every morning was perfectly prepared. The hotel is a real haven of peace among the olive trees. A real back to the source feeling. It is true that the road to get there is long and winding but it is just worth the detour. The village of Sougia which is 4km away is simple but so easy and authentic with friendly people. In the area, there are many beautiful hikes in several gorges.
