We flew in to Herakleion from London and then on to Kapsaliana. Arrived at the village-hotel around 3 pm. The weather was perfect, sunny but not overly hot. An unbelievable view of a village with stone build houses, attractive gardens, beautiful cobbled stone alleys! What a joy , what an unexpected paradise! We were made welcomed by a lemon sorbet,...

This hotel is breathtaking with amazing views. It has such a wonderful feel about it and the rooms were lovely. Great good too and very reasonably priced which makes a refreshing change. Stelios was such a nice guy and very helpful. If you're after rustic charm this is the place, can't praise it enough.

Stunning mountainside setting, fantastic food including local specialities, gorgeous pool with a lovely view down towards Rethymnon and the sea, excellent rooms with plenty of space. You do need a car though as it is quite out of the way!

End October, beginning of November we stayed a week at the Kapsaliana village hotels with the four of us. We had a fantastic end of the summer. The hotel is very cozy and the service is perfect.

My husband and I stayed at the Kapsaliana Village Hotel in late September for a long weekend. We had the most wonderful stay at the hotel, from the warm and welcoming owners who put so much love and care into the restoration of the village/resort, to the well-priced and delicious restaurant, to the calming but stylish rooms that we loved....

On an island that has been over run with package tourists and resorts, this place is an oasis, a true gem. You feel that you get a proper taste of the real Crete. The views, the location, the hotel are all beautiful. Myron, the charming owner, makes you feel as though you are a friend, staying at his home. He... More
