/The room/apartment was beautifully done and extremely comfortable. The view, facing north over the plateau, was stunning but it did mean we got no sun. This was the beginning of October. I didn’t ask how it was at other times of the year. When i asked if we could have some heating on in the evening the wonderful owners sorted it straight away and we were then very cosy. The owners couldn’t have been more helpful. Unfortunately the Dikte cave was closed, exceptionally, but we walked up to it.

I cannot really fault anything. When we wanted to sit in the sun we went to the Taverna!

We loved the breathtaking view on the Lassithi Plateau from the balcony of our bedroom or the restaurant on top. The lodging is brand new (only 2 years of use) and much bigger than what it appears on the pictures. Everything is perfectly clean and well thought of. Plus, it is equipped with a washing machine and a dryer; it is pratical to stay there to wash laundry before continuing with your journey. Emmanuella, the owner of the place and restaurant, is a perfect cook and host; we ate very well! Do not skip out on her meals, they are worth it. She is very warm and welcoming person. We loved the entire family working with Emmanuella. They speak excellent English; making it very easy to communicate. We regret not having spent more time there. If you like to hike in the mountains; this is a perfect place to stay for 3 to 4 days. It can be nice to cool off a little bit in the mountains from the coast temperatures and be away from the crowd. That place will fit these needs. Also, it is only an hour away from Spinaloga and other beaches; it is easy to spend part of the day on the coast and be back for the evening.

Still trying to find something. Sorry but everything was perfect.

This family run hotel and restaurant is over looking a gorgeous plateau, and a quick walk to the cave of Zeus. The apartment like suite was not only spotless and beautiful but had everything you could want with sm kitchen, fireplace, lots of space, balcony and a view die for, even a washer !…Oh and we didn’t even mention the incredible homemade food from the attached restaurant! fresh squeezed pomegranate juice and the best food you’ll have in Crete! Then to add the best for last -the wife , husband and son not only treated us with the best food and stay but generously helped us fix something that came loose on our car by first climbing under to look at it and then sending us to their friend in town , who was then waiting for us . (Cost 2 Euro ) The wife gave us her a greatest gift of hospitality, generousity and kindness even a gift of local plant tea . ALL THIS IN ONE OVER NIGHT STAY ! We can’t say enough praise about our stay in the suite or about the family .We only wish we would have know about this place when we were making our vacation plans, but it was a whim that we choose going the the cave and staying there as a side trip IT WAS THE BEST PART OF OUR TRIP TO CRETE!

That we didn’t have more time there .

We had a fantastic view over the lasithi plateau, rooms were very clean, modern and spatious. The owners are such sweet people, we truly felt welcome and had such nice chats. The same owners also run the adjacent taverna with good food, a great view and splendid breakfast in the morning. We didn’t have a car and as there is no supermarket in the village, the owner provided us with a packed lunch to take on our hike in the mountains. A lot of people visit the nearby Dikti cave, but when the cave closes in the afternoon, the village becomes quiet and these apartments are a true gem in the mountains.

Our stay at diktamus was perfect. The studio was absolutely stunning, it was so comfy we hardly woke up early. It is well furnished and if you need anything, the owners are available to help you for everything ; They’re such sweethearts. We really liked the cozy vibes of this establishment. When we arrived later than planned as we got lost, Manoela and her husband left the keys for us and even came back when we crossed by on the road. they accommodated us so much, and for this, thank you, really! Everything was perfect, we ate at their family taverna and it was one of the best meals we had in Crete. Thank you again for the tea and the strawberries, they were delicious! Hope to see you again, wishing you all the best from France

we had to go so soon as we were out of time, but we’ll be sure to talk about diktamus to our friends who want to come in Crete for vacations! for drivers, be careful on the road at night! use Waze to see the roads shape

A very comfortable apartment with everything one might need for a stay. The staff was very helpful and accommodating, even though we had to check in quite late in the evening. The complex is located on a hill, so the view from the apartment and the adjacent restaurant was absolutely gorgeous.

The rooms are clean and comfortable with unbeatable views across the valley. You can cook in the kitchenette if you like, but I don't know why anyone would want to with the fantastic meals just upstairs in the restaurant. Manuela and her family were incredibly hospitable and did a great job making us feel welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

The area is very busy and parking before 3:00 pm can be challenging.

The view was amazing. The apartment was spacious, clean, and we were very happy with the amenities. The owner family was the kindest and most welcoming.

If I must name something, it's that you have to run the shower for a bit, before warm water comes.

The location and the room were much better than we were expecting. The bathroom was clean and big, well planned. The whole apartment was clean and smartly planned. The apartment did not have an AC but as it was high in the mountains the room did not even need it, it was even cold in the very early morning. The room had a great view of the valley and mountains. Well-equipped room with modern equipment (laundry and dryer machine, oven, fridge, and a lot of kitchen utensils). The fireplace was a pleasant surprise even though we did not have the time to use it. Great place to take your family for a holiday.

We arrived after the sun had set and it was dark. There could be a sign with a light that would read where the actual check-in location is as we got a little lost in the parking lot. A lot of tourists visit the area during day time to see the caves and the mountains. But othertimes it is quiet.

Very nice hosts which invited me to coffee and cake in their tavern (with a great view) and even had a little present for me. The studio ist modern and very nice. Internet was good, the view great, showers very well. The location is actually a big advantage which I didnt see before: The Zeus cave is very empty before 10am. Then many tourists start to pour in. So it is very easy to just check out and walk 10min into the cave and have it for yourself.
