From first friendly and efficient email contact throught to final farewell, our experience of Niriida was a pure delight. The individual cottages are stunningly well designed, every detail both beautiful and highly functioning. The views are glorious; the outside shower (in Cretan sunshine) a heavenly treat after months of English winter; the garden and surrounding olive groves packed with birds... More

This tiny resort with only 3 detached houses/rooms might be the best well kept (not for long) secret of the island. Location is great as it is really near some spectacular beaches (Komos, Agios Pavlos etc), the sympathetic village of Kamilari, the lake of Zaros, the unspoiled Amari valley. Modernistic and functional rooms are designed by 1 of the 2... More

We stayed here September 2012. A fantastic experience all round. Dietmar and Denis are the perfect hosts - full of useful hints and tips about the surroundings, solicitous about your comfort and experience, but respecting your privacy. Breakfast was a delight with many surprise eggs and totally delicious cakes. Most days, I was so full I didn't need lunch. Niriida... More

I can not say enough good things about this place. Dennis and Dietmar are WONDERFUL hosts, they make you feel right at home and yet are very discreet. Their property is so beautiful, from the rooms, to the pool, to the breakfast patio, and whenever I'm feeling the winter "blues" here in rainy Paris, I think about the outdoor shower... More

My husband and I had such a nice time staying with Dennis and Dietmar. Everything was perfect, down to the very last detail. They were so helpful with planning our week in Crete - they know of all the nicest walks, best restaurants and interesting sites. It is truly such a personal experience - tasting the oil made on the... More

Everything you read in the reviews already posted remains true. This special place created by Dietmar and Dennis is so successful in part because it is calm, considered, relaxed and understated. Every detail is intentional and designed to improve the visitor's experience - and there was no sense of end-of-season in our late October visit. The other elements that make... More

We stayed at Niriida Guest house for four nights during our round trip of Crete. The location is very beautifull and from the property you have great views of the surrounding valley. It is very close to the village so you can walk to the taverna's for dinner in the evening. The accomodation is very spacious with an own terrace... More

We are having a very good time, being at Nirrida for the second time. Everything is perfect here! Hospitality of the owners, food, room, lovely pool, privacy. And the surroundings are just of amazing beauty. We discovered new valleys, gorges, mountains with stunning views and picturesque villages. Do yourself a big favor, go to this unspoiled part of Crete, and... More

This guesthouse not only has a modern architecture and is very nicely situated in the countryside of Crete, but the most enjoyable are the TOP hosts Dennis & Dietmar. They love what they are doing and you can feel it in every detail: the atmosphere they created, the zen garden, the way the houses are decorated and above all their... More
