The view is incredible, the nature around the place is beautiful and potent, ideal if you want to discover the country side Staff is helpful and welcoming Pool is nice Room is comfy and bathroom is big

I didn’t realize when booking that the place would be so away from everything (at least a 20-30 min ride if you want to go to a village different that the one down the hotel) I would avoid this place if you want to enjoy Cretan beaches as it’s at least a 40 min ride But mostly the road accessing to the hotel is very rough. It is suitable for any car but driving super slow.

We booked here because we wanted peace and quiet for a couple of days. This hotel delivers that in spades. Spectacular views, helpful personal, good, plentiful food, breakfast with a view, comfortable bed. Despite the undulating paths my husband with his reduced mobility managed it all. There was an offer of a golf cart and the personal were always on hand to offer help if we needed it. I saw the drive up the track as a prelude for what was to come, it slowed everything down. Whilst it looks scary when you first drive onto it, take a deep breath, it is in fact easy going as long as you go slow.....what a great way to start a much needed holiday. 😊

Could do with more signage when reaching the hotel. Where to park/check in. Proximity of stables.

It was so wonderful to get out of the oppressive heat of the Cretan coast. The hotel lies at around 350m above sea level on the slope of a mountain. The air is notably fresher up there. The view from the restaurant and the terrace of our room were amazing. We had a beautiful room with a very comfortable bed. The pool area was great. The dinner at the restaurant was delicious.

such a gorgeous property and hidden gem in Crete. away from all the hustle and bustle with everything at your fingertips available at the property so you can just unwind and relax. my husband and I have been travelling around Europe for past few months and Velani was exactly what we needed to relax. the room was stunning with picturesque views, hot tub spa and expert masonry craftsmanship. the best place we have stayed at by far. the owners will make you feel welcome and treat you like family. thank you Manolis for your hospitality and going above and beyond for us.

This is such an amazing place, one of the best place we've stayed during our visit to Crete. We are beyond surprised and had a great time, the food was excellent and the staff was all friendly and warm. The cave was worth the walk. Thank you for having us and making our holiday so memorable.
