It took me a day to figure it out, but these are 4 suites on the property of the Boutari winery, which is one of the biggest (and really excellent) wineries in Crete. The suites are beautiful and about 70 meters past where all the wine tastings take place. The whole property is fantastic. The stone building with the 4 suites has beautiful big patios that are literally in the vineyard and olive grove with beautiful views out over the valley and to the mountains. It's a quiet place and the winery has no restaurant (but does have beautiful big tasting rooms that where I'm sure one could schedule a tasting. It doesn't matter that there is no restaurant at the property because 1 Kilometer away is the fantastic restaurant Elia and Diosmos Olive Mint in the village of Skalani. We used this suite as a base for car trips all over the wine region and were gone all day on scenic drives through the mountains and vineyards in that whole area. It is 10 minutes from Knossos and 10 minutes to the beautiful village of Archanes. It is 30 minutes to the beautiful area around the village of Kastelli, which is surrounded by amazing Byzantine churches and monasteries. We spent three days driving all around that area, which is perhaps the most dramatic and impressive in Crete. Parking is plentiful, free and close to the room. The rooms are big and very nice. The views are fabulous. It's a great place to base. Breakfast is great and served to your room by the hardest working woman in Crete, who ran back and forth to the winery to bring trays of food and drink at breakfast. You can take it in the room or sit on the beautiful patio....

Nothing. It was perfect. Internet is a bit slow but I was told it was about to be very fast when they link it to the winery network capability. They don't push the tastings. But I'm sure one could schedule a tasting of that famous wine. I didn't ask because we were out touring in the car all day.

Breakfast was served outdoors at our suite. The food was mainly local produce, very fresh and tasted wonderful. Evening meal, when available, was a variety of traditional Cretan cuisine, again fresh produce and very generous portions. The staff were very courteous and attentive, but not intrusive. Wines on offer were very good and some exceptional. The site location was peaceful countryside amongst vineyards and olive groves.

Nothing of note.

Great location in the middle of the vineyards with country flair. The rooms are tastefully built and decorated. We loved sitting in the shade under the pine tree in the courtyard. Breakfast and the service was great. We did a wine tasting and the staff member was very friendly.

The bathroom smells a bit stuffy but as it's built like a cellar it's probably hard to avoid. The doors to the shower and toilet need to be adjusted.

I liked the hospitality of the staff, they were very eager to help and make our stay comfortable.

Even though I had emailed that we were vegan (I've booked a wine tour) and had received a confirmation about my request the kitchen was quite unready for our request. It was the first time that happened, (we have already visited the residency three times before and everything was perfect) so it was not such a big of a deal

Wine tasting and tour Fabulous location and views, fantastic sunsets Helpful staff Decent plentiful breakfast Understand that you are in the middle of nowhere, you may encounter some creepy crawlies.

Evening food on site (if available) could be better advertised, travel to the near village was needed (not a problem though)

For the kind and helpful personnel, for facilities and the landscape.

I dont have any dislike

Beds were very comfortable, large nice bathroom, cozy terrace, everything was styled in a nice way. Personel was very friendly.

Breakfast was very tasty but a bit small We woke up quite a few times during the night since the very strong alarm lights went on and off (which we think was caused by electricity fall outs). We actually had therefore a poor night of sleep.

Brilliant place - great views, lovely room and superb breakfast
