Sperling United States of America

The hotel itself is split over a few floors, but is beautiful, all white and blue, our Suite was right by the garden which was beautiful and there was a bench reserved for us that was overlooking out to the sea. The staff were lovely, host was very informative and new so much about the area - even saying that his relation build the first house in the village. The Beach was a short downhill step walk, there were plenty of cafes and taverns too within walking distance which was very convenient. Also onsite parking was a big plus for us as we had a hire car. YOU MUST VISIT the local Taverna called Platanos Restaurant and Bar, best meal we had in Crete and probably the cheapest!

Val United Kingdom

Best place in Myrtos without a doubt, with a great view on the sea and attention to detail. Thank you!

Milena France

Super hospitality during our stay in big blue enjoying the great sea view. The building is just in front of the sea and has all the necessary facilities. The owner was super reactive when we had a problem with the WiFi and he managed to find a solution ASAP.

Eirini Greece

The room was spacious, well decorated and comfortable with all kitchen essentials. The balcony was lovely, with a table and comfy chairs. The view was exceptional and the apartment was really close to local cafes, bakeries and small supermarkets, Staff were super friendly, for example offering fresh towels and just checking that everything is alright. The area is lovely and peaceful and we had a restful time here.
