We had an amazing stay at aspros potamos, beautiful old village renovated with such good taste, the room was very clean and inviting, with great clean sheets and towels and amazing natural soap..., though one room without air-conditioning was a bit too hot, but we did have fans. Michaela was so kind and helpful and gave us a lot of good ideas of what's nice to do in the area. We would highly recommend a visit to the village Pefki and a dinner at the "piperia" restaurant...

Air conditune in the room would help, On the first night we had a problem finding the place and couldn't reach the place by phone. for help and instructions, but at the end we found and all was suitable.

This was by far the best place we have stayed in Crete! Although we ve booked last minute after a change in plans, it proved to be such a nice surprise! This place is ideal for anyone who seeks something more genuine, authentic, traditional and truly Cretan (not touristic). Its also ideal for relaxation and putting away everything that needs to be put away.. Extra bonus: the fantastic and extremely welcoming and hospitable Michaela! What a place and what an experience! Thank you so much for the fantastic job you ve done with this place and we shall definitely come again!

The locations is absolutely amazing. You have to be aware it’s a bit secluded but with google maps you’ll get there easily. The locally prepared breakfast was just delicious! Real recommendation! Both ladies at the reception were very helpful and welcoming.

The accommodation is exactly as described. No electricity plugs and almost no cellphone connection. Wifi only at the reception. These things are mentioned on booking but it needs some getting used to. Ideal for disconnecting and connecting with yourself and the beautiful surrounding nature.

This is the perfect place to stay if you want to chill out. There are actual solar charged lights in the bedroom and washroom so that was a surprise. You did have to charge phone sin common room but that was fine as it is part of living here - an unplugged vibe. Incredibly nice staff - especially Michaela (sp?) who was very kind. We had the breakfast for 9e per person and it was worth it. Good coffee, homemade cheese pie, homemade pancakes, fresh lemonade, fruit, yoghurt. Great location to hike the gorge and also a short easy and safe 20 minute walk down the ravine to restaurants nearby. Bed was okay, sheets were fine,, towels were fine. Wifi in main common room/office was fine - but no wifi in rooms as advertised so no surprise there. You are to unplug...and you do! Kind of cramped. We had the best sleep in a long while as it is so quiet with just the crickets at night. Also don't forget to go to the small village of Pefki for dinner just 15 minutes away. We will stay here again given the chance - just loved it!

There is a slight scent of kerosene as they have the lamps for the room if you wish to use them. We did not use them so it was not that bad.

The place is located in a very picturesque area and the atmosphere is one of a kind. You almost feel like you are staying in a place out of this world - full of beauty, quietness and tranquility. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming and told us the story of the place, which made it even more special for us.

The only thing is that the place is not properly located in Waze, so if you are using navigation to get there by car make sure that you are using Google Maps.

We really enjoyed our stay, the beds very comfortable and our host Michaela very helpful, providing us with some magical places to visit. The first morning we enjoyed an amazing breakfast and I would highly recommend. Take time to read through the folder on the restoration of the property and you will have an appreciation of the work done to make it a unique place to stay in Crete.

unique, very welcomed break from touristic locations and accommodations, out of grid, with renewable energy only, in a valley with amazing views. Michaela from the reception is super welcoming and helpful, they serve amazing local breakfast - must have! we enjoyed star gazing at night from our private terrace, natural breeze and stiff silence at night, rustic room and super comfortable matrace and pillows, hot shower, everything clean and well maintained. must visit and stay more than one night! totally worth the value!

We regret staying only 1 night! definitely do more, totally worth it!

I liked feeling like I was living without electricity and having a gas lamp and gas stove. It was a nice LARPing situation where it is almost halfway like camping. I also really loved the cats that come to "bother" you as you sit on your part of the terrace. I made a nice friend that day.

Make sure your car is okay driving on unpaved mountain roads because you need it to get there.

This place is so cool just be warned, There’s no plugs in the rooms so the electricity is solar. It’s awesome to disconnect for a day or two or a week. And be wary of Google Maps because she will attack you and send you to the middle of nowhere. The staff were so nice and accommodating. We loved our stay!!!

Nothing it was amazing
