Nymphes Luxury Apartments & Studios

This is a wonderful hideaway. Granted, it takes a bit of mettle (and God's good graces) to manage driving up/down the "challenging" - how should I say? - pathway to this perch above Agia Pelagia. But once you're there, it's not the altitude that takes your breath away. The views are spectacular! Sadly, when we were there, the mother of the owner had just passed away. But the door to our little nest was open, the room and glorious balcony were in perfect order ... and then there were the cats to keep us company in her stead. Obviously, I'm by no means ailurophobic: waking up early in the morning, watching the glorious sunset, and having one of those wonderful kittens take up housekeeping on your lap - OMG, the peace and warmth of the whole thing! Rugged, aesthetically inclined…

The hotel has a great and quiet location on a cliff facing the mountain. You definitely need a car to move within the island from this hotel as it's far from everything. The owner is very friendly and ready to help you with everything. Be prepared for mosquito bites as you will be in the middle of the greens. Cleanness is average.

We were welcomed by the extremely charming host who took care of our last minute booking and our dinner, and by a bottle of wine in the fridge! The view is breathtaking - even locals consider it one of the best on the island. Each room is well isolated and has its own terrace. Seem to be equally good for solitary travellers and for families with kids.

We had a wonderful stay at Nymphes Luxury Apartments. The place has a calm, welcoming atmosphere, and the views from every terrace are absolutely stunning. Sea, hills, and light stretching as far as you can see. The apartments are spacious, spotless, and well equipped, with a lovely pool that’s perfect after a day out exploring. The road up is quite steep, so having a car really helps, but the peace and quiet at the top make it completely worth it. A special mention to Pepy, the owner, who was incredibly kind and shared an excellent list of local tavernas and hidden gems. A great way to experience authentic Cretan food and hospitality. A perfect base for exploring the Agia Pelagia area and enjoying the island’s serene beauty.

Beautiful landscape. Nice family. Nice flat. Nice view. I enjoyed. And a swimming pool

Ένας φανταστικός χώρος για χαλαρωτικές διακοπές. Ξεκόβεις από τις εντάσεις της καθημερινότητας και γεμίζεις τις μπαταρίες. Ανθρώπινο περιβάλλον, ζεστό, οικογενειακό τέλειο για να αλλάξεις παραστάσεις.

My wife and I stayed here for a week. The hilltop setting above the Ligaria and Pelagia beaches is perfect. The apartment was spotless and well equipped with a patio overlooking the sea. We were greeted with fresh fruit and a bottle of wine. The pool is convenient after a long day of traveling. The location provides for convenient trips in the North to points from Chania, Rethymno, Heraklion, and Malia, as well as to the many environs and antiquities. Though we also spent a week in the South, you can reach the major southern sites and beaches in little more than an hour.

Everything was amazing,so relaxed and comfortable,plus no mosquitoes and no need for AC

The beds were excellent! The views of the Agia Pelagia bay where a dream! The attention to detail and the feeling of being at home, with a great hostess ( she is always available yet not intrusive) & timely housekeeping!
