Fabulous place with lovely staff! Absolute reco!

We loved our stay there. It's a great place to relax or to start tours to various gorges, mountains or beautiful, hidden beaches. The staff is lovely and has the perfect recommendations for whatever you planning to do! If we come back to Crete we will stay there again!

To say that our stay here was excellent is truly an understatement. Crete was more than I could have ever dreamed of, and this hotel played a huge part in that. The drive to the hotel is definitely not the easiest drive, but it is so worth it (very windy road up and down the mountain, it is all paved and there are guardrails but very little light at night). Being in the mountains and away from the city was so quiet and relaxing and the town in the area felt so authentic and non-touristy, it was exactly what we were looking for! The staff were so friendly and were always attentive and making sure we had everything we needed. The staff recommended two restaurants (they actually recommended more than two, but we were only able to try 2 of them), and they were the two best meals we had during our 2-week stay in Greece. The hotel was very clean, and the room was excellent, we were actually offered an upgrade upon arrival. The pool was so refreshing, and the bed was extremely comfortable. As for being walkable/drivable, there is a restaurant in walking distance that was amazing. And the town of Sougia is just a short 5–10-minute drive down the road and is 100% worth the short drive. Chania is about 1.5-2-hour drive, and because it is through the mountain it will take every bit of that time and be on a lookout for goats. And Heraklion is about 3.5-4-hour drive. Thank you so much for our stay here it was amazing! We look forward to returning to Crete and staying here again.

AMAZING Property & Staff!!

Our stay was spectacular!! I can't recommend this hotel enough. The rooms were amazing and we even had an oversized plunge pool. The location is unbelievable - mountains surround you. The staff went above and beyond (e.g., they met us at our car with umbrellas as it was raining out, noticed on my passport it was my birthday so prepared a free cake for me, etc.). If you are going to be in the area please consider this hotel. Also, if you are still planning your vacation look into this area as it was great place to spend a few days (e.g., hike to Lissos, enjoy Sougia beach/restaurants, drive to Paleochara, etc.).

Relaxing design rooms boutique mountain stay

Splendid design rooms in a nice and calm mountain region. Great service and nearby Sougia beach (5-10mins by car) and a local restaurant in the village. Only little downside is - depending on your neighbours, that you literally hear every single word or noise of them :)

I had the most amazing stay with my husband in July. The lovely ladies who run the hotel go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable and memorable as possible. Sougia is very remote, quiet and has a "disconnected" feeling, which is amazing if you want to really unplug and relax, don't come here expecting to party! The restaurants at the beach serve the most delicious food I had in Crete, and the hotel restaurant is equally yum. The views are breathtaking, and it is worth coming for the views alone. This is a really quiet place and I think it's important any travellers come with that expectation to avoid any disappointmemts :). The only thing I didn't love was the drive from Chania, I am not a very confident driver and the roads are very windy, but if I managed I thibj anyone can manage (just drive slowly and move out of the way for any impatient drivers). Thank you so much to the whole team for being so king and welcoming ❤️

We had a wonderful stay at Monastery Estate Mountain Retreat. The villa was relatively small, but had everything we needed, and was sufficiently private (a note: it wasn’t very easy to understand the difference between categories that have a private pool - a few more description points or photos might be helpful). The pool terrace was well thought through. We’ve had two meals at the hotel, dinner and breakfast, and found both very tasty (I can highly recommend Cretan breakfast). We have also used spa facilities (sauna and steam bath) and, while the overall experience was relaxing, there are three improvement points: sauna seemed to heat up only on the top benches while having cool air on the bottom bench; the benches in the steam bath were cold; there was a bit of unpleasant smell in the spa area. The staff of the hotel was very attentive and helpful, and very punctual in room service. The last, but very important point: we had managed to have an unforgettable early morning walk in the nearby Lissos gorge and a fantastic swim in Paralia Lissos beach, that knowing about these “things to do”, we’d stay longer in the hotel, for, at least, 2-3 nights. Overall very positive experience - we recommend!

5 stars for the Monastery collection!

Amazing service and beautiful hotel quietly nestled in the mountains. The breakfast was divine and such a great variety. Our room came with a jetted tub on the patio and it filled quickly with hot water, nice way to relax. We ended up staying at another monastery collection in Chania the next night we loved out stay so much.

Crete mountain escape

Fantastic new hotel. The suites are great and loved the private pool. There were some downsides - not the greatest sound insulation between rooms, minimal privacy at your outdoor pool and the lack of breakfast. The last one we were aware of, but it would be a more luxury experience if they brought it back. They said it was because of covid-19, understandable, but all other hotels we stayed in Crete still offered breakfast. So seemed a bit strange. Great spot to escape for a few days to see a very different side of Crete.

Die Suiten und das gesamte Anwesen sind sehr schön, ebenso ist die Lage beeindruckend. Die Einrichtung ist sehr geschmackvoll und nicht überladen. Die Pools werden täglich gereinigt, was sehr positiv ist. Ebenso nimmt man Rücksicht auf die Gäste und man meldet sich einfach, wenn die Suite gereinigt werden soll. Das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend beim Checkin und suchte während des gesamten Aufenthaltes Kontakt, ohne dabei aufdringlich zu wirken - man wird umsorgt und bekommt auch gute Tipps für die Ausflugsplanung (z.B. Samaria Gorge). Frühstück haben wir nicht genommen und ebenso nicht im Restaurant gespeist, welches aufgrund der aktuellen Situation nur einmal pro Woche geöffnet hatte. Wir hatten einen Rundum gelungenen Aufenthalt hier und können dieses Hotel nur empfehlen, wenn man Natur und Abgeschiedenheit mit Stil sucht. Kleinigkeiten die man verbessern könnte: mehr Stauraum / Bügel für Bekleidung zur Verfügung stellen, mehr Ablagefläche für Handtücher und Utensilien im Bad schaffen, Duschabtrennung installieren, damit das Bad nicht immer komplett nass ist.
