Our Rating

Kapsaliana Village Hotel, a five-star retreat and member of the Historic Hotels of Europe, nestles within Crete's largest olive grove in Rethymnon, blending restored Cretan and Venetian architecture with serene countryside and sea views.
The 22 stone-built guest houses, transformed from an 18th-century olive oil mill and village settlement, feature unique designs with carved vaults, wooden beams, and modern comforts like air conditioning, satellite TVs, minibars, and private terraces. Many include fireplaces, enhancing the cozy elegance, while views of olive groves or the sea create a tranquil escape.
Dining delights at Kapsaliana Restaurant, where a sumptuous breakfast and traditional Cretan dishes with a modern twist are crafted from the finest local ingredients. Elaia Restaurant offers a fine-dining à la carte experience, showcasing Mediterranean flavours, while Perivoli's organic garden provides a farm-to-table setting amid nature's bounty. Lemonies Cocktail Bar serves handcrafted drinks under fragrant lemon trees, and Levanda Pool Bar offers light, contemporary dishes by the poolside. A spacious outdoor pool with sunbeds and umbrellas overlooks olive groves, complemented by an indoor and outdoor fitness area with treadmills and free weights. The spa provides tailored massages, from therapeutic to deep tissue, while open-air yoga sessions at sunrise or sunset cater to all levels. Guests can join olive oil and wine tastings, cooking classes, or explore via hiking and sea kayaking, immersing in Crete's rich culture.
