If you want to step away from the tourist areas and into the real rural life of Crete, then this is the place to stay. It’s rustic luxury in a tiny village high up above the main touristic areas and with views that leave you breathless. The accommodation is a stunning converted group of houses, turned into 5-6 beautiful villas with balconies and rooftop terraces that give amazing views across the mountains and towards the coast. The villas are Cretan farmhouse traditional, extremely comfortable with everything you need. Breakfast is set up in your private courtyard and is a luxurious feast, changing every day. The village is just a scattering of houses, surrounded by olive groves with lots of hens, goats and sheep and there is a small Taverna which serves the locals. Don’t expect a big menu, it is whatever is being cooked that day! With only a few villas, it is very quiet and peaceful, no traffic, no noise other than cicadas, clucking hens and owls at night. There is a lovely pool, fitness room and a little shop. The road up and down is a bit of an adventure, virtually no other traffic so easy to take slow. We stayed in the Purple villa which has a courtyard, a covered balcony off the bedroom and the highest roof terrace. Special mention to the wonderful host who has spent 20 years building and converting this fabulous place. Very welcoming, helpful and kind. Thank you for a memorable stay.

Beautiful accommodation and lovely owners. A car is a must to explore the surrounding areas. The accomodation is authentic, cosy and very clean. The pool area is peaceful and for most of our trip it was just me and my husband at the pool during the day. Perfect relaxing stay. We’ll be back!

Want to visit Crete but be away from the bustle of Chania, but close enough to drive? Samonas is the answer. This villa is gorgeous. It makes you feel like you're living in a castle in the middle of remote olive groves, which you kind of are. We went for the Sage room, and it was beautiful. Perfect balconies, outdoor patio, and rooftop lounge area. The pool is a medium size, but perfect for a leisurely dip. The add-on breakfast was HUGE, every morning we were stuffed with new delicious dishes and even though we ate at 8am, we were still full by 2pm. They provided beach towels and umbrellas if we wanted to go to the beach, and we even made use of their tavli/ backgammon board for nights we wanted to stay in. It's about a 30 minute drive to downtown Chania, with several switchbacks (and watch out for goats), but there are several nearby towns with tavernas if you want to eat somewhere closer.

This is the perfect place for relaxation without any stress. Amazing host that makes you feel welcome and happily answers any question you might have. Me, my wife and daughter stayed in the purple house and we had a lot of space and quickly felt at home. I highly recommend trying the breakfast, the best we ever had. You will need a vehicle since the nearest minimarket and regularly open taverna is 12 minutes downhill by car. A lot of nice walks nearby with great views. This is not the place if you prefer a lot of different restaurants, nightlife, bars and shopping. But if you are like us, and prefer stillness and relaxation this is absolute paradise! The beach is only 20 minutes away by car.

The maisonette was beautiful and very well equipped. It also included a fresh orange juicer, coffee machine, fresh oranges and a small hamper with cookies, crisps and other treats. The view on an evening from the roof top terrace was special. Konstantinos was very accommodating. We arrived later than expected but this was no issue. We asked if we could have a later checkout as we wanted to make the most of the pool and views during our stay and this was also not a problem. If you are looking for peace and quiet in the mountains to relax and enjoy the true beauty of Crete away from busy tourist hot spots. This place is worth its weight in gold!

The villa is a quaint medieval villa built originally in the 1800s . This is definitely NOT a place to stay if you do not have a car or other mode of transport. We arrived at 9.30pm and there was no one to meet us. Finally we were able to contact the owner and he told us which villa we were allocated . The fridge and Power points were not working in the kitchen. The switch had tripped in the electrical switchboard, which we finally located. There are no shops . We were isolated in the mountains. After reading the Information booklet, we learnt that there is a mini mart on site where we could get some ingredients to snack, as we had not eaten. Next day, we learnt that there is a tavern run by an elderly lady that does not speak English. We stayed for 5 days and the last two days, there was no hot water to our villa , so we could not shower. The owner , Kon could not fix this! On a positive note, the owner Kon was very pleasant and the villa was very clean. The breakfast was delicious but not suitable if you had a special dietary requirements

If you are looking for a taste of traditional Crete, this is the perfect location. Set in the hills with breathtaking views this gorgeous hideaway allows you to see the Traditional side of Crete away from the tourist spots but close enough to the key areas of interest. The attention to detail in the Villa is remarkable. Each item in our villa was carefully selected to be an authentic reminder of the period. From the unique bathrooms to the massive door keys, it was truly a taste of Traditional Crete. The breakfast was perfect and often "Bella" the resident greeter was on hand to welcome you. There is a small "store" that operates on the honor system and is accessible 24/7. Samonas is a welcome break from the tourist scene and allows you to experience the real Crete. This was our second trip to Samonas and we are planning a third.

We finally returned to Samonas after being unable to travel due to the pandemic. It was great to finally be back, and see that it is still an incredible place to vacation. Konstantinos and Irina make you feel so welcome. They have everything you might need to pamper and indulge, and Konstantinos is incredibly responsive to any requests. Our daughter and son-in-law joined us there for a week, and they too thoroughly enjoyed their stay. It was their first trip to Crete, and they loved it. Can't wait to go back, and thanks again, Konstantinos, for a wonderful stay.
