The old couple who run the place are awesome. Highly recommend staying here for couple of nights to enjoy village experience in Crete

This accommodation was so lovely and quaint. The surrounding village was nestled in a rocky valley and seemed very charming with fruit trees and sheep in the yards. We wish we could have stayed longer.

This was a most lovely place to stay! The entire property is extremely well kept, the room was very comfortable and well equipped and the pool was great. And the food! Home cooked in front of you and placed on the table with enthusiasm. So delicious. Just lovely people and a lovely and peaceful town.

Προσεγμένος ξενώνας φτιαγμένος με μεράκι που φαίνεται από την κατασκευή μέχρι και την επιλογή των επίπλων. Δεν είναι άλλο ένα copy paste δωματιο αλλά αντίθετα δίνει την αίσθηση του πιο παραδοσιακού χωρίς να είναι παλαιικό. Εξοπλισμένο με βραστήρα, καφετιέρα, μάτι, ψυγείο και βασικά μαχαιρουπήρουνα και πιάτα.

We stayed for 4 days. The property is tucked into a small working village best accessible by rental car. It is a 4th generation family operation run by one of the nicest older couples we have ever met. The room was cute and spotless. I’d encourage you to accept the hosts offer for breakfast and dinner. The food and beverages are locally-sourced, plentiful and delicious. We were treated like family and enjoyed an authentic Greek cultural experience.

Spacious and clean rooms. Great food. Very friendly owners. We arrived on our bikes and no problems with securing them in our room.

This I believe is a family run establishment and I was made to feel very much at home. Very friendly and generous atmosphere. For a quiet stay in a small village I couldn't reccomend Petronikolis more. Additionally there are some very good, very traditional restaurants in the area to try. In a word excellent and exactly what I needed.

This little hotel is absolutely great! It is operated by an older couple and they are so very welcoming! Our apartment was nice, cozy and clean. Location is quiet, if you are like us and don't mind hearing roosters, goats, and other animals/birds sounds, as this hotel is located in the small Greek village. Restaurant is on site and ALL meals are prepared by the lady-owner, so dining experience cannot get any more authentic than that. Oh, and pricing is VERY affordable. Overall, we loved this place and would definitely come back!

Clean, comfortable bed, hot shower and parking space. The downside was that Internet service was poor to non-existing and also no phone reception in the apartment. Availability of a bakery, coffee and small market within a few minute walking distance was a definite plus.

This would make a comfortable stop over base for a couple of nights if exploring the local area and you wanted to have the flexibility of some self catering along side eating out etc. The airport is about 30 mins away.

Schöne Unterkunft. Die Gastgeber waren sehr bemüht. Alles top sauber

Situé dans une très jolie région et un village à l'écart des routes touristiques. Le lieu est charmant, la chambre correcte (même si très petite, on fait difficilement le tour du lit) et la salle de bains désuète. Mais ce qui m'a vraiment déçu c'est le prix du petit-déjeuner, digne d'un palace : 8 € pour des gâteaux secs, des confitures industrielles et un café pas buvable. Une vraie arnaque...

Hosts were very welcoming. Apartment was very clean. All the facilities you could need. Pool was very well maintained, food was delicious, i recommend the moussaka. Very quiet village with beautiful surroundings. We were leaving very early in the morning and the host offered us breakfast before the scheduled time, we didn't eat it but took a few delightful snacks for the journey.
