A lot of love has gone into this very special boutique hotel with many nice touches. The welcome was warm and friendly and the room was well appointed with a selection of drinks and snacks. Communications prior to arrival were really well managed and very prompt. There is a beautiful secluded garden with an imposing gable end wall which is all that remains of the original early 20th Century building and there is a lot of information about the history of the site. Breakfast in the garden was a real pleasure and the time spent on making my departure memorable was unbelievable. I am a highly experienced traveller but this stands out as absolutely one to remember, I would certainly be very happy to stay here again and I can recommend it to anyone who is visiting this village.

Wonderful stay! I've enjoyed everything. The room is modern and renovated, with fresh look and atmosphere. The bed is big and very confortable, pillows as well. They providing soft towels, bathrobes, slippers, doing everyday cleaning - services usually you expecting from the hotel, but they do it for rooms/apartments too. They providing free parking as well. Nice, friendly and very welcoming host. Very central location. Also they have a nice, cozy and quiet garden, where you can sit and relax. I'll stay here again when I came back to Sfakia

If you are traveling to Crete, look no further than Giannis and Nikki. The bed is beyond comfortable, the room is immaculately clean, the peaceful garden to unwind and feel that Greek chill, the pebble throw away from all the restaurants, a supermarket next door, and a couple which is extremely welcoming. They made it feel like you should move to Crete and call it your home. The garden they have created has so much love, and it shows. It beats any 5-star hotel! This place offers a unique and authentic experience that is hard to find elsewhere. The rooms are spotlessly clean, tastefully decorated, and equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Additionally, the location is perfect—close to beautiful beaches and local attractions.

Honestly, there was nothing to dislike about this property. Every aspect of our stay was perfect. If we had to mention something, it would be that our stay was too short! We didn’t want to leave and would have loved to spend more time enjoying the hospitality and beautiful surroundings!

From the moment we arrived the hotel owner was incredibly welcoming showing us the secret garden, providing good local walking advice and helping us with a secure place for our bike. Everything about the hotel was good including the local info, stunning mural, the French press and ground coffee in the room and its comfort. The location is ideal and there is everything you need for a fantastic stay in Sfakion. Thank you so much.

Nothing to report

We stayed here last year and loved it so much we had to come back. These are great rooms right in the centre of Chora Sfakion and right next to a lovely bakery for breakfasts. Giannis and Niki are wonderful hosts who make you feel really welcome. They have a lovely garden at the back where you can sit in peace in the shade and if you go out the front door you're 30 seconds from the harbour and the shops and restaurants. No distance from the ferry port. Such a beautiful place to stay - you never want to leave.

Everything was 100% perfect

Had done proper review before but seems to have got lost so will do a quick one again.Rooms were fabulous, very big, all modern, recently refurbished. nice bowl and cutlery left so you can make own food. these were cleaned for you which was a nice touch.the rooms were cleaned daily and to a high standard.Location was great, maybe 50 metres to the water. nice restaurants on front. ended up getting the boat to Loutro on all 3 of my days. These small boats were very enjoyable and great value.The owners are very friendly and helpful. I spent a lot of my time hiking, there is a booklet in the shops with maps of walking routes. These hikes were probably the highlight of my holiday, especially the one up to Anopolis. the walk to sweet water beach was safe.

cant fault this hotel, probably the best i've been to.

Sofia's lovely rooms is a very nice structure, recently renovated, with a lovely secluded garden, a perfect spot to relax and enjoy a nice book. Our room was full of light, clean, spacious and could accommodate our family of 4 perfectly. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was clean, nice and with complimentary products. We used to have our morning coffee (complimentary) on the balcony, enjoying the sea view. It was a perfect start of the day. Niki and Giannis, with their kindness and care for the details, made us feel at home. We'll definitely come back next time we'll visit Crete.

To make everything even more perfect, an additional shelf in the bathroom can be useful. But those are just small adjustments. 😉

I stayed with my family in the terrace apartment with a beautiful sea view. The terrace is very large and equipped for outdoor dining and it was so nice that we almost always had dinner there. The apartment is cleaned every day and water and juices are brought in every day. The host is very welcoming and hospitable, upon arrival he gave us various gifts such as wine, water, fruit juices, jams and butter for breakfast and when we left he gave us some local products as well as a postcard greetings signed by them which I really appreciated. I had a great time at Sofia's lovely room and the hosts make their guests feel pampered

There is no washing machine. Two bathrooms are indicated but in reality they are not two complete bathrooms, in one there is a sink and shower, in the other there is a toilet and sink

Situated on a cozy, quiet street, away from the buzz of the main restaurant street, but still very close. We had a room with a balcony above the beautiful green garden where we had all our breakfasts.

We went there in low-season (October), so there were plenty of parking space. However, I suspect that parking might be an issue in high-season. The town is very small so there is limited room for cars. The two beaches in the town are very small. However, it's easy to reach great beaches by car (5 min drive) or boat (15 minutes trip).

Lovely room with a balcony, a warm welcome, lovely hosts. Sofia’s Lovely rooms is in a quiet lane just up from the beach front with its tavernas and restaurants. Hora Skafion is a great base from which to explore this beautiful stretch of the south coast of Crete. A very beautiful, friendly place that has retained the atmosphere of a living, working Cretian town.
