We were looking for somewhere to stay on Crete for our first visit to the island that would be in a quiet location, allow us to relax completely and give access to a swimming pool. St George's Retreat Village was the perfect setting. The villa was luxuriously furnished and had a fabulous view over Souda Bay. The design of the... More

Early this year we decided we wanted to go to a Greek island for our summer family holiday. We were undecided on which island until we found the website for St George’s Retreat – it looked so lovely and the two Trip Advisor reviews were glowing, this coupled with the guest testimonials on their website convinced us! We were planning... More

What a lovely place, 2 nice pools for the villas to share, rarely was there more than one family at the pool at the same time, unless by choice. Fruit in abundance to enjoy. Fabulous views. Villas beautiful. Owners a delight. Cave in the cliff back drop with an old war bunker to explore and the most quaint little church,... More

We went to St. George's Retreat in June after a friend had recommended it and it lived up to - well, actually exceeded - all expectations! I spend a week on my own with my baby daughter before my partner arrived, and was so well looked after by our lovely hosts! They made us feel so welcome, were very attentive... More

My wife found this amazing resort after searching the Internet and what a great find it was. The resort itself is made up of nine villas set around two swimming pools and lovely fruit trees & gardens on the outskirts of the village of Kokkino Chorio. The villas themselves were newly built in 2009 and are just wonderful. They are... More

We had a fantastic time at St.George's Retreat this year. The villas were beautifully presented, very clean and with many very thoughtful extra touches (fresh figs and honey in the fridge, wine and olives on the table). We went with other families and we all had young children who loved the two pools and the spaces to explore (like the... More

High quality villas presented to a high standard. Excellent views over Souda Bay. Hosts went out of there way to make this a really enjoyable holiday. Peaceful location. We are going back More
