Cheap hotels in Émbaros

Where do I even begin...... This place is amazing. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, it exceeded our expectations. The accommodations, the service, the quality, the value.... Just perfect. We stayed for 4 nights but wished we would've stayed longer. It is located in a small village in the middle of an olive grove. It is a 17th century building used to process grapes for wine that has been restored with an attention to detail. One of the suites is actually the wine cellar and the bed is actually positioned on top of where they would step on the grapes to extract the juice and it even still has the original stone wheel. Amalía took great care of us from checking in to an amazing breakfast every morning. She really made us feel like home away from home. There was also a gentleman staying there from the Coast Guard (sorry I can't remember his name) who knew the history of the building and when we asked, he and Amalía offered to give us a tour of the grounds out of the goodness of their hearts. There are 2 dogs that will welcome you every time you arrive and will say goodbye every time you leave; my wife even gave them names...:) The village is so cozy that we even met the neighbors, and they made us feel like they knew us our whole lives and even invited us into their home and welcomed us with warm sweets after a long day on the road. I want to thank one neighbor is specific.... Maria. She was an angel from the moment we arrived and invited us into her home, where she is taking care of her father, like we were family and the way she treated us really made an impact in our lives. She gave us her contact information, but unfortunately, we lost it in the process of our vacation. If the owners are reading this and are able to contact her, please let her know how much we appreciated her help and if you are able to get her contact info for us we would really appreciate it... Would definitely recommend and may return to Crete sooner than expected.

Impeccable cleaning. Really top notch. Really quality furniture & styling. Nice view. Parking spot just outside.

Beautiful view, room very clean, restaurant close good food, cave is within walking distance.

Amazing hotel / restaurant owned and run by a local wife-husband duo from the Lasithi Plateau area. The hostess was incredibly kind, accommodating our late arrival and even offering to make us dinner and breakfast.

Athivoli sits on a perfect spot overlooking the Lasithi Plateau. Loved the property and especially the balcony
