Nice view, nice village, ideal for a family of 4 ( for our 5 person family a little bit to small )

The room we stayed in had everything as expected. Our room had nice views and the hosts were very helpful. It’s a 15min walk to the village where you can find a couple of cafes/restaurants. Tholos Beach was one of the nicest beaches of our stay, so the location is superb, especially if you prefer peace and quiet away from the touristy spots. We really feel like we got an authentic Cretan experience staying here.

Julie was a perfect host. She was exceptionally kind and friendly, offered many useful tips and even a present upon departure! The room was spacious, perfectly equipped including in the kitchen (breakfast made twice at home). It was also fresh at night, which is not the rule in August.

We liked the big balcony and the view on the mountains.

Very nice spot with nice view on the sea. A lot of stuff for kids and a very nice outdoor area with oven & grill.

We were offered delicious local Cretan treats on the day of arrival. The property is beautifully renovated, one of the nicest buildings in Kavousi. The owners have paid much attention to even the slightest detail. Kafenes is in a central, yet quiet location.

The location and the roof top terrace

Lovely hotel, amazing staff,couldn't do enough for you.

The location is good - not in the touristy part of the island. There are a few hotels around, but the nearby town feels very authentic. There are very nice, simple, restaurants there. Walking and the town and eating with the locals just feels real here. You don't feel like a tourist. The way down to the beach is very beautiful. We enjoyed spending the 5 minutes to get to and from the beach. But be warned - it's some pretty steep and winding stairs, so not good for baby strollers or people with disabilities. Otherwise it is not hard, and a very picturesque walk. The beach is very natural and minimalistic, but we liked it very much because of that. No sunbeds, no bars. Just go down there, sit on the warm sand, swim in the beautiful sea, climb on the rocks - enjoy the nature. We visited early in the season, so there were very few people too. Most of the time we had the whole beach to ourselves! Everyone in the staff is very friendly. We stayed only a few nights but can remember all those friendly faces. It feels like you are a real guest there, not just another client to be served. Even the construction workers seemed nice (there was a bit of renovation happening). The owners are personally there, involved in the business. Had a chance to chat with the a little too. Interesting people. Good, real, down-to-earth business. We liked it. Breakfast and dinner are good. The selection is not overwhelming (the kitchen area is not very big), which I see as a big positive, but some people maybe might think it is too little. There are enough different dishes to keep it interesting and at the same time, if you plan it right, you can try almost every dish for each meal. And everything was good, without exception. Oh and the views from the room - the mountains or the sea, really can't go wrong either way, it's beautiful wherever you look. So overall, very positive experience. Recommend, would stay again.
