The location was exceptionally beautiful, peaceful, and immaculately clean. The entire vibe was beyond perfect for the entirety of our five day stay. The staff, Christo, Christo, Georgia and others were beyond description, they contributed greatly to our experience, both in their constant willingness to provide a perfect service as well as in their knowledge of the area, Greek culture, and local things to do. We have already suggested this incredible place to our friends. We could not have had a better experience.

Monastry Estate Gesthouse is exclusive boutique hotel located near Sougia. The hotel is situated in very quied place in small gorge surraunded by mountains. The access with car is simple. GPS recognizes this place. The hotel was created on the remnants of old monastery  and mearges with residual ruins, that brings to the complex very special attractive appearance. The rooms are spacious quied and completely equipoed. Very cleen and comfortable. The staff is perfect, provides very pleasant atmosphere in the hotel. We felt like with friends. Around the hotel many passes and trails to hike. Great, almost wild beach in Sougia. Near the hotel there is traditional taverna provided  very tasty food: meat, vegeterian and great vine. All products are local and actually organic. I enjoied every moment of my staying in the hotel. It was vacations in the Paradise.

Truly amazing service from the three ladies on the desk and the one lady in the restaurant, they went above and beyond for us to have an amazing stay. They asked before we came what was our plan and when we sat down they already advised on the best options for us. So far, the best service I have had from any hotel/apartment. The view was incredible, the rooms are amazing (we got to see 2 of them due to an issue), really peaceful and clean. The restaurant on site is amazing and the tavern just up the road is a must. We packed are holiday full of sight seeing and the gorge walk, we wish we had one day just to completely chill at this place! Thank you so much, this will be somewhere if I have ever visit Crete again that I must come back too!

We received a really warm reception from Georgia who along with Georgia no.2 made our stay so enjoyable. Our apartment with hot tub in the original part of the Retreat was amazing with views out across the white mountains...breakfast in the new building was really well done and an off site taverna just up the hill was fantastic. My wife and I travelled with our two dogs 🐕 and stayed for three nights. The Retreat is only about a ten minute drive down into Sougia with its long wide pebble beach ⛱️ with views out across the Libyan Sea....the village itself has an ATM mini market and a few traditional Cretan tavernas. On our last day we were leaving by boat and I had forgotten my WiFi device....ten minutes later Georgia had arranged for it to be delivered to the port....a really special place with special people ❤️...we loved it !
