Askoutsi Manor a Natural Tranquil Retreat By ThinkVilla

This place feels like a storybook. I only spent a short time here, but every moment was either spent taking photos of the beautiful details or simply enjoying the atmosphere around me. It’s a stay with true personality – perfect for those who want to live authentically, at a slow pace, without rushing, and who truly love life. Up in the mountains, the air is fresh and cool, the pool has an incredible view, and eating grapes straight from the vine felt divine. The sweet figs and the incredible scent of jasmine everywhere made the experience unforgettable. Breakfast was delicious – I had a cheese and honey pie that I’m still craving now. The design of the house is special – full of character, yet everything makes sense. The village and the location are truly unique. You’ll need a car to get here, but the drive is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views along the way. I can’t wait to return to this magical place.

This is such a beautiful place. We feel so lucky to have stayed here. It’s the perfect balance between authenticity and luxury. The site has such an interesting history too! We spent 5 nights of bliss here and look forward to returning. A spectacular view and pool area. Lovely breakfast. We loved our room (Nassibe). True relaxation and a great host.

This place is definitely a hidden gem located in an inconspicuous, tiny village that is inhabited by only a few extremely kind people. We were originally supposed to spend 7 nights in Nassibe, but decided to extend our stay to 10 days because we felt so at home there. It's a place for people looking for relax, appreciate peace and quiet, beautiful interiors and want to feel history mixed with modernity. Thanks to Nassibe we felt the atmosphere of Crete, which we didn't know before. Also it’s a very good starting point for further exploration of the island. We will definitely return there ❤️ Chris x Margo
