Kapsaliana Village Hotel

It was beautiful, peaceful and away from the busy city. What a wonderful place to stay!

Wonderful location and the staff is amazing! The rooms are very nice. I was very impressed with everything.

Amazing stay in a beautiful location. We only had one night so just stayed put and enjoyed the property. It is a bit far to use it for a home base during a longer trip. The restaurant was outstanding!

I will preface my review by saying this hotel probably isn't for everyone. It is extremely secluded and remote and is not within close distance to restaurants or shopping. My husband and I, even at 27, found this to be a huge plus. We absolutely loved how private and serene the property was, but for some people, this might not be appealing. Also know taxis to the hotel are not cheap, and if you rent a car and are driving to the hotel, the roads are extremely narrow and winding, and directions are fairly unclear. However, I cannot say enough good things about this property. We honestly did not want to leave and regretted only spending three nights here. Unfortunately, we were visiting many other spots in Greece, so our time was divided this trip, but we will absolutely be back. We did rent a car, so we drove into Rethymno frequently, which was about 30 minutes. We felt like this was doable and were super happy to have the flexibility not to be obligated to use taxis. Everything at the hotel is beautiful from the buildings to the flowers to the views. The food is wonderful, and the service is superb. Our room had everything we needed and more. We truly treasured our time at Kapsaliana, and you will too!

This is the best place to relax everything about the experience is delightful from the beautiful pool , to the room and the kind and lovely staff. The food is also delicious

The conversion from old village was beautiful, and the service from the more junior staff was excellent. However the room had damp on walls and a dehumidifier but still a dank smell. Management staff were dismissive and could do nothing to change the room as were fully booked. Restaurant was very good, if limited in choice, but oddly most interested in us having a reservation, which we had, and given there is no where else for miles an odd obsession to keep asking. The place is beautiful, a better room and we would have loved it, a little more understanding from senior staff would help too.

Delightful welcome homemade lemonade and history of property. Fabulous meal at restaurant. Grounds are beautiful, pool delightful. Customer service oriented. Wish we had used the hotel as a base for our entire stay on Crete.

Excelente alojamiento entre olivares, rehabilitado con mucho gusto. El personal atento y amable. El desayuno espectacular.

Beautiful spot. The old village of Kapsaliana, with its olive press, has been converted into a hotel. Our room was in an old stone house with the bedroom up a narrow stairway and the living room, bathroom and an outside terrace downstairs. The rooms vary a lot, some with no terrace, so worth checking exactly what you will get and maybe paying a little more for an upgrade. The service and staff were wonderful, as was the restaurant which prepares an amazing buffet breakfast. We had dinner there both nights and the food was superb. Beautiful pool area and great views of the surrounding area. Very highly recommended.

This was undeniably the highlight of our trip to Greece this winter. There was a very high level of subtle sophistication - in the design of the room and village, the amenities, the service. The food was top-notch. We also got incredible service on tips for day trips, down to help renting our car and informal travel itineraries each day. It was a quiet, magical place to spend our New Year’s holiday. Not a highly touristy area, so may not be the easiest to get to, but that is definitely what we preferred. We hope to come back!
