We stayed at St George's Retreat in August 2012, and had a wonderful week. Stefanos and Roula must be the most welcoming hosts. We arrived to find they had stocked the fridge with cheese, ham, butter, milk, juice and fruit (including a bowl of their delicious homegrown figs) as well as homemade raki, homemade olive oil, coffee, herbal tea, etc....

When my husband and I rented one of Stefanos' villas for a year we didn't know what to expect. To our delight we were welcomed with open arms and experienced living life the Cretan way. The retreat was a glorious place to spend our summer months by the pool and our autumn months hiking through the olive tree groves and... More

The taverna at St Georges village is next to none. The food is great, we live locally and eat there often, the salads there are just that little bit different. The caramelised mango and chicken is not to be missed and the t-bone steaks and ribs are a must. Being high up the view is fantastic, there are comfy seating... More

We have just come back from two weeks at St George’s Retreat and found it one of the most welcoming and relaxing places we’ve been lucky enough to stay in with our twin boys. There’s two things that we think made this a really special place: The first is the... More

We have recently spent 2 weeks at the Retreat Village during the end July/beginning August in Villa Calliope. As nearly all reviewers have mentioned, the real success of the Retreat Village is down to Stefanos and Roula. They make you feel so welcome and are very helpful! The villas have been fitted out to a high standard, set in a... More
