The room was very rustic in appearance but was outfitted with all the modern features. The kitchenette is quite complete, so stocking food for a snack and/or a more robust breakfast is a good idea. Grounds were beautiful. A great place for a quiet and restful few days or week. NOT for the night-life crowd! As Yannis said in greeting us, "Welcome to the end of the world." There is nothing but nature, beach and a few tavernas at the beach. There are remains of a Minoan Palace, and they were. alle beoordelingen »
The welcome, which couldn't have been warmer, plus fresh oranges and lokwatts from their trees, cake made by Katerina's mum, and a constantly re-filled bottle of raki. Splendid local walks, lovely beaches, very friendly people. Yiannis' retreat is an absolute gem, perfect in every respect, from the immaculately-kept gardens to the spotlessly clean rooms, to the individual terraces with hammocks and deck chairs, the views of the sea.......I could go on!.
I'm totally blown off when i arrived Yannis in mid night, it was so beautiful at night. And thanks for waiting us until 1am...
When we found out all the fruits, cake, wine that have prepared for us, it was like going to a friend's home. You can hardly get this service from anywhere else.
The view in the morning is refreshing, if you can get up in the early morning, just walk out from the room you can see the beautiful sunrise.
Yannis Retreat was unexpectedly lovely. Our room was charming and comfortable. The location was fantastic and the gardens the highlight of our stay. Yanni, Katerina and Georgia could not have been more friendly and helpful. There are great walks all around the retreat and the sea (and a few tavernas) just a 10 minute walk away. We would love to return.
Everything was perfect!!! we loved it so much, so quiet and beautiful place! It feels like second home from the first minute of stay! Yiannis and Katerina, thank you so much for everything! We experienced real greek hospitality, tried some homemade food, fruits and vegetables! We looking forward to come back.
A fabulous place to stay, in a perfect location with archaeology, tavernas and great walks all right on the doorstep. The studio was very thoughtfully furnished with everything you could need but without being fancy or superfluous. Very peaceful and private.
Friendly Yiannis and Christina really take care of their place. The elaborate "lounge" exotic garden is exeptional. It is a 10 minutes walk to the beach and a number of taverna/restaurants at the Beach.
Set in lovely gardens / grounds, with plenty of quiet spots for relaxation. Exceptionally generous supplies provided: olive oil, olives , bread, honey jams and so on. Kato ZaKros remains unspoilt.
This is a wonderful escape from your typical tourist areas of Crete. A day trip to hike turned out to be a memory that will last forever. Thanks in part to Yiannis Retreat.
Beautiful landscape. Very comfortable and personal. A new way of young fresh marketing and hospitality, which is so important for crete.Hopefully soon again..
When we arrived, a cold wine, water, cake, biscuits, olives, bread was
waiting for us in the room. Nice design, great garden with sea view.
Amazing personnel!.
The location, garden, design of the facility, hospitality, cats...
Location, people, simplicity, frogs (means no pollution).
Just excellent.
It's pretty far from anything else. Not even a mini-market, so you have to drive 7km to the town of Zakros for provisions.
Noting at all! We loved every minute of being there.
The room is a bit small, but it's fine for us.
The food prep area was small and consequently a bit awkward to use - didn't really affect our short stay though.
On arrival, we were disappointed to find that the room was rather small, but we grew to love it.
.... be prepared for a little nature... ie. insects and one rather memorable spider... but not inside...
Don't be afraid of the road to the hotel. It's gravy but worth
going this 1 km.
Nothing.
