Book a hotel near White Mountains Protected Forest, Sfakia

"Excellent appartment. Our hosts were wonderful."

"Our stay was spectacular!! I can't recommend this hotel enough. The rooms were amazing and we even had an oversized plunge pool. The location is unbelievable - mountains surround you. The staff went above and beyond (e.g., they met us at our car with umbrellas as it was raining out, noticed on my passport it was my birthday so prepared a free cake for me, etc.). If you are going to be in the area please consider this hotel. Also, if you are still planning your vacation look into this area as it was great place to spend a few days (e.g., hike to Lissos, enjoy Sougia beach/restaurants, drive to Paleochara, etc.)."

"Everything was fabulous. Friendly staff, stunning view from balcony. Room was clean & comfortable. Loved it!! "

"We’ve just returned from two weeks in Crete, the second of which was spent at Villa Asteria. We’ve stayed in many places around the UK and Europe and this has been our favourite. It is a beautifully built villa in a stunning location with views of the White Mountains on one side and views down to Souda Bay and there are plenty of places at the property to sit and enjoy sunrise or sunset. The property inside is immaculate and built and kept to a very high standard indeed. A lot of thought and care has been put in by Samatha and Jerry into the villa and they also provided a very warm and friendly welcome and excellent communication ahead of the stay. The pool was lovely and in addition to the sun loungers and umbrellas, there were plenty of other shady spots under trees to escape the sun if needed (it was very hot during our stay), and there was always the bonus of bumping into one of Samantha and Jerry’s friendly pet cats in the shade! In terms of location, we enjoyed being somewhere more rural but still close to Chania and beaches. It felt a bit more like authentic Crete and that made the stay even more enjoyable. The time at Villa Astoria really made our holiday in Crete for us and as a family, we’d definitely recommend it."

"Property was very good! Very nice dinner options everywhere. The size of Loutro is small so if you and your family/friends like to play games or consider yourselves “night owls” this might not be the place for you. Otherwise, very lovely stay and the breakfast was delicious! "

"We had such a wonderful and memorable experience staying at this villa with a group of friends who had gathered together to celebrate a big birthday. The only thing that may be a deterrent to some is the stairs that the villa has which can be a lot and also dangerous for kids. Other than that, this is a highly recommended place and I can certainly see myself going back to in the future."
