THALORI

My wife and I loved this spot. Its in the middle of nowhere, so don't expect a store (at least not in April) anywhere close, but that is part of the charm.

Great location with many activities nearby such as waymarked hiking trails, mountain bike trails, beaches, monasteries etc. The retreat is impressive. It's basically a small village turned into traditional guesthouses.

Sadly the room we stayed at ("Anthi") left much to be desired.

The room itself has 2 stories; pretty small space without much natural light (only two small windows in the base floor) There's a fireplace as well as petrol radiators, however the door and windows are not air-tight so cold air drafts can seep in.

There's enough hot water, however the bathroom is pretty small and there's virtually nowhere to place an accessory bag or a toothbrush. We also noticed some exposed electrical(?) wiring in the shower, covered with a plastic channel which does not seem waterproof.

Space in the bedroom is pretty tight as well and you barely have enough space to walk and lie down. There's also no place to leave anything, such as a mobile phone. We also noticed one electrical plug unattached to the wall with exposed electrical wires.

By far the biggest disappointment, however, was the mattress which was very hard to sleep on. This caused us to wake up multiple times during the night and when we addressed this concern to management, we essentially got no resolution (their suggestion was to simply place a blanket on top of the mattress)

All this, coupled with the fact that we payed 105€/night for 2 persons made this one of the worst money-for-value propositions we have ever stayed at.

Απίστευτος χώρος , πολύ καλή εξυπηρέτηση μαγευτική τοποθεσία .
Όμως με την είσοδο μας στο δωμάτιο (Μελάνθη) παρατηρήσαμε μια δυσάρεστη οσμή στο χώρο. Ανάψαμε το τζάκι και η μυρωδιά μειώθηκε μάλλον γιατί συνηθίσαμε .Ρωτήσαμε και μετα μας ενημέρωσαν  ότι οι καμινάδα του δωματίου συνορεύει με την καμινάδα του καυστήρα των καλοριφέρ όπου καίει πέλλετ και πυρήνα και μάλλον με τον αέρα έρχεται η μυρωδιά μέσω της καμινάδας . Το ανεχτήκαμε μέχρι που αρχίσαμε να έχουμε ανακατωσούρα και ελαφριά ζάλη. Κάποια στιγμή ο αέρας από την καμινάδα γύρισε και γέμισε ο χώρος καπνό . Αφήσαμε το τζάκι να σβήσει και την νύχτα η μυρωδιά συνέχισε . Το πρωί είδαμε ότι το δωμάτιο συνορεύει με το χώρο του καυστήρα και μάλλον η μυρωδιά έχει ποτίσει και διαπεράσει τους τοίχους. Μεγάλη αστοχία και μας χάλασε το διήμερο

The location of kapetaniana village up on the asterousia mountain with views of the Libyan sea is amazing! I will give them credit for what they’ve done up there, being so far from civilization. The closest store or taverna is 20 to 30 minutes with difficult and scary road but the hospitality is not as expected. I am originally from Crete from the area of chania and their service came across as very laid-back , almost disorganized and except the food!
They have exclusivity for breakfast, lunch, dinner since is nothing else available.
We did not pre-book a room because we wanted to check it out and decide how many nights we were going to stay. Initial agreement was for one night for two couples two separate rooms but they wanted us to stay in one unit with 2 bedrooms and shared bathrooms. I felt pressured to decide on something I didn’t really want.
We were asked in a rude way to pay the second full night even though we wanted to leave after our first night. The responsible person Poppi was very pushy . I was not very happy with the way she behaved.
Even though I liked the place, I don’t think I will be going back neither recommended for a stay

Το Θαλορη βρίσκεται σε ένα πολύ ωραίο μέρος... από την μια βλέπεις βουνό και απ'την άλλη θάλασσα....Ο Μάρκος και η Πόπη πολύ ευγενικοί άνθρωποι όπως και το προσωπικό...
