  • Amazing mountain views, quiet and comfy place - you’ll get all that 100%

    Perfect for hikers: there are several famous Cretan gorges nearby. Magdalini gave great tips, was always in touch and helped plan the route in advance. We really enjoyed our stay here and in the end, we even regretted not having planned a couple more days 🙂

    Aleksandra - Mountain Bliss 1

  • We had a wonderful stay in Crete!

    The accommodation is beautifully located in the mountains, the views were absolutely breathtaking, and the peaceful setting was perfect for relaxing. Our host was also fantastic: extremely friendly, easy to reach, and always helpful whenever we had any questions. Communication was smooth from beginning to end. We would highly recommend this accommodation and would love to come back!

    Finn - Mountain Bliss 2

  • We absolutely loved our time at this gorgeous oasis.

    It is everything you want from a stay in Crete: brand new but classic in style, thoughtfully decorated, nice appliances, and across the road from a Taverna with sensational food at reasonable prices. Oh—and how could I forget: it’s also just a short (and very scenic) drive away from Sougia, which remained our favourite beach even after we visited several others (which were far busier and more touristy). If we ever return to Crete, we’ll be back!

    Andrew - Mountain Bliss 3

  • Mountain Bliss is exactly that!

    The area is stunning, totally quiet and peaceful and a wonderful place to switch off. The apartment was lovely, exactly as per the photos with everything we needed. Hosts were great and very responsive and helpful. Will definitely be back!
