The warmest welcome in a surprisingly cosy, contemporary comfortable environment which you wouldn’t expect in this tiny local village. The owners managed to make a remarkable uniform standard spread over several houses in connecting small streets. The equipment standard of the rooms is more than complete. Nevertheless, nothing can meet the natural, humble and concerned hospitality offered by Anna and her co-worker. Breakfast is nothing else but perfect. Pyrgos is a homebase we can recommend for those who look for peace and quiteness, centrale positioned on the Isle if you want to discover Central and Eastern Crete.

Ana and Giorgos have made a fantastic place to stay in the village of Pyrgos. The architecture is beautiful and modern yet completely integrated into the environment. The room was spotless and very well decorated. Staying in Pyrgos gave us the opportunity to visit a more wild part of Crete and to experience the simple life of a Cretan village. We ate at local restaurants and enjoyed Ana’s incredible breakfast. Ana is a special person: full of wit and good advices, she even introduced us to an incredible Greek folk musician! 😉 The Spa is one of the highlights of Pyrgi. We have enjoyed immensely our time there, we will definitely be back!

All was perfect!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at a beautiful property for a week, and it was truly a delightful experience. The property was ideally situated, offering easy access to local attractions while maintaining a sense of tranquility. The surrounding area was picturesque, with stunning views and plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy. The accommodations were immaculate and tastefully decorated. Each room was spacious and comfortable, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. The amenities were top-notch, from the well-equipped kitchen to the cozy living spaces. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. They provided wonderful recommendations for local dining and activities, which enhanced our overall experience. The property was spotless upon our arrival. It was clear that the hosts take great pride in maintaining the cleanliness and upkeep of their property. Our week at this lovely property was nothing short of perfect. It offered a wonderful blend of comfort, convenience, and charm. We left feeling rejuvenated and are already planning our return visit!

Dear Anna and George, we’ve spent a brillant and unforgettable week with our family in your beautiful and tastefully decorated accommodation. Everything inside the suite was spotless! We’re still thinking about the savory breakfasts Anna made for us every morning, home made orange cake, orange marmelade, omelette, Cretan specialities…..a dream start of the day ! Anna your everyday smile, availability for your guests, your good mood and eagerness of sharing tips about the area made us feel so spoiled! We thank you very much for giving us the memorable Cretan Hospitaly experience! Pyrgos is nicely located ( a bit remote ), different beaches and historical sites are accessible by car. Hiking routes are in the immediate vicinity. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to be able to come back soon again!

We adored everything !!

We had a wonderful stay! Anna was a lovely and welcoming host, and her breakfast was absolutely amazing, one of the highlights of our trip. She also gave us great recommendations for things to see and do in the area. The room was spacious, clean, and very comfortable, with everything we needed. The location is tucked away on the mountainside, offering a truly authentic and peaceful experience. It's incredibly calm and serene, with no tourists around, which made it feel even more special. That said, it's a bit remote, so having a car is essential to get there and to explore the surrounding areas. But if you're looking to disconnect and enjoy a quiet, local experience, this is the perfect place. Highly recommend!

We liked EVERYTHING about the property. This is by far the best accommodation we’ve stayed in Crete (and we stayed in several places). For sure the only one we’d come back and regret we didn’t book for a longer period! Absolutely stunning. The complex is not so big but very well executed, divided and organizad. Beautiful project in a tiny village which felt you were finally discovering real Crete. - The hosts communicated with us before and during our stay providing very useful and detailed information on how to find the place, check-in/check-out, where to park, places to go, beaches, restaurants… just big thank you for this! - We got an upgraded on our booking which was certainty very much appreciated and a beautiful and spacious studio instead of a room. There was a very well done window in the sleeping area from which you could see mountains and the starts lying from bed (shame there was a small light pointing at us, thats not on the property but on one of the properties close by, so understandable!) - Anna was super kind to come and open the spa for us after a day in the beach. It was very relaxing, very well constructed/adapted to the space, a gem! And bathrobe, shoes and towels were also provided for the occasion :) THANK YOU ANNA & GEORGE!!!! All the best in this beautiful project. Hopefully we can come back soon!!

The Pyrgi was the nicest accommodation I have ever been to! My room was decorated really nicely and comfortable. I could feel the love and care that had been put into everything. Breakfast was very rich and delicious with local specialities. The spa area is also very cosy, professional and clean! I used the steam room which was put on just for me. I felt very comfortable throughout my stay and Anna was available through WhatsApp if there was any question. I would definitely come back again!

I found parking a little challenging in that area - narrow and steep but that's also kind of normal in many small villages in Crete. Also unfortunately there was no massage option over Easter. All this however was compensated by the nice atmosphere in the Pyrgi and the very friendly staff.

The property is beautiful, the roofdecks are amazing and incredibly relaxing at sunset and in the evening, rooms are well equiped with air conditioning and a little kitchenette with coffe maker, a little fridge and a kettle. The town is far from crowds and tourism, on the hills in the south of crete, little but has everything you need such as a supermarket and restaurants with really good and cheap food, atm and cats! Anna and George are super helpful and will give you advice on everything, from instructions on how to reach the place to really god and not touristic restaurants where to eat.

nothing, keep in mind you’ll have to rent a car to explore this part of crete

Anna and George are fantastic. From the minute of the first contact to well past departure they care for their guests and are genuinely interested in your experience. The apartment we were staying in was "ENA" meaning "One" and it was spacious and well organised. Anna makes a fantastic breakfast and is a great cook! Her home recipe of eggs on tomatoes cooked in the little portion size pans was my son's favourite dish. She also provided rice puddings and cookies which are out of this world if you like sweets. I cant rave enough about the food as it was plenty and fantastic. George is a communication ace and will certainly also look after you. He not only organised our arrival well ahead of time but also was there every day for anything we needed. He is a pleasure to engage with. Things to do 1) We went hiking up the Kofina Peak Sanctuary. Excellent drive up into the mountain and then a multi hour hike up mountain passes to the peak. We did not manage to go all the way up as the railing stopped few meters before the peak and the drop is steep. 2) We walked up into the hills just up from the apartment and there is a round track which takes you post the chapel back into the village its about 45 min walk and we enjoyed doing it multiple times. 3) We went to ZEUS cave (Cave of Diktaion Andron) on the way back up to Heraklion and it was a good half day out. Food In the evenings we explored the local restaurants and bars. We ended up in "Agora" which is a 5min walk. Bit like a sports bar - no menu but a selection of small dishes was ordered and the food and company was fresh, plenty and really authentic. Try a few of the coffee shops they are plenty, all different and special and always have locals enjoying a good brew. Between Anna and George you will be super well looked after. They are good and honest people wanting to make your stay happy and convenient.

I can honestly not think of anything.

Our accommodation in Pyrgos was really special and we enjoyed the spacious apartment with its cool design and layout. It had a private roof top, a small but well equipped kitchen, and a nice living room where we could connect our tablets with the TV. Up to four people can stay there, but for two it was ideal. The breakfast was really good and we liked the chat with our host Anna. It was very kind of her to let us have a late checkout at our last day. Pyrgos was the most remote village that we visited in Crete, and we liked the authentic restaurants nearby. Lots of options are available to spend your day, especially if you like outdoor sports.

The parking options are a bit challenging, due to the narrow roads.
