We just returned from our third stay at Samonas. Each time we stay longer, and each time we go away vowing to return again, and stay longer still! The accomodations are delightful, and Konstantinos is a gem. He just does absolutely anything within his power to make your stay comfortable. Besides providing us with fresh fruits and vegetables, he even... More

Your home away from home! Upon arrival and even before stepping out of our rental car I knew we were going to have an unforgettable stay. Being our first time in Greece, we were unsure of what to expect in the way of accommodations. We found Samonas on Trip Advisor and were immediately intrigued by their website www.samonas.gr/ . We...

The villas are located in a small town in the mountains just minutes from Xania, and the beach. The installations are great, it has a common pool, laundry machine and dishwasher in each appartment and a well equipped gym with a sauna, and a barbecue. Each day the appartment was cleaned and in general "room serviced" by a very nice... More

Room had everything you needed for a weekend although the living room furniture was too uncomfortable to even wanna stay in. Bathroom extremely small and not up to the standards of the hotel. Kitchen small but cozy and the owner was a really... More

My husband and I visited Crete for the first time, and found a gem of a place to stay in Samonas. Very impressed with the quality of the accommodations, with quality furnishings and many small touches in each room. What's most interesting is that that the owner personally designed, remodeled and decorated each villa. We needed quiet rest and relaxation,... More

Our second stay. Equally peaceful, beautiful, and a real treasure. A gorgeous retreat from the bussle and hassles of life. Each house is meticulously furnished and designed and conscientiously managed by Constantinos, A week of mountain exploring, eating, and becoming human again. Probably best enjoyed without the children ! More

Laid out over 4 levels our apartment was one of the most luxurious and authentic apartments I've ever stayed in. We had been rushing around for the last few months preparing for our wedding and it was the best place to just dump our luggage and chill. We swam, read, walked and ate the most amazing breakfasts (you have to... More

Indeed, we had some trouble to get there, but it was more then worthwile. We really loved the road up in the mountains to samonas. We enjoyed every view after each turn, and were very much surprised by the warm welcome of Konstatinos once we arrived at our destination. A litle paradise in a litlle village with only friendly people... More

We recently stayed at Samonas for 10 days in May, 2010 during our visit to Crete. This was our second trip to Crete - our first was 10 years ago and we stated in Chania. The location was spectacular: in a small village in the mountains of Crete near Chania, with goats, pigs, sheep, and chickens wandering about the pastures... More
