Top Hotels Near Ambelou in Sitia from NZ$71

"This is a really wonderful and unique place to stay in Crete. It was such a lovely feeling to be waking up in an elegant windmill! It is well equipped and comfortable with everything you need for a holiday. The grounds are superb with outdoor space for sitting and eating, and flowers in the extensive gardens. We enjoyed trips to the beach at Vai and Itanos as well as a visit to the monastery at Toplou, and would also recommend the local restaurant in Agio Fotia, Dionysos. The welcome in Crete is outstanding and our visit was everything we hoped it would be."

"What a gem of a place. We had an amazing time. We loved that each room had its own bathroom. The villa is very well stocked. We loved being able to walk down to the sea for a swim with all the fish. Would absolutely recommend. Thank you for hosting."

"Lovely welcome, polite staff. We had a room upgrade to a sea view which was nice. Breakfast was plentiful but as it was end of season the bread rolls and croissants were very dry. The fruit had swarms of fruit flies so we decided not to bother, but there were other options. The pool area looked nice and clean with lots of seating options. It was very quiet, possibly we were there on their last open weekend, not sure. Sound proofing wasn’t good In the bedroom, we could hear a man talking loudly either in the next room or in the corridor around midnight. I’m sure that in the height of the season it is a very different experience. Having said that the beds were comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. We don’t think it merits the 5* rating. "

"It was a shame that lunch wasn’t available by the pool - only toasted sandwiches The setting was beautiful - rooms clean and staff friendly "

"We received a very warm welcome by the owners. Although we arrived early they accommodated us and checked us in early. The breakfast was authentic and delicious! The rooms spacious and clean. And oh, the view Fantastic!! I wish we could have stayed longer"

"Excellent stay! Highly recommended "
