Nymphes Luxury Apartments & Studios

We had a wonderful stay at Nymphes Luxury Apartments. The place has a calm, welcoming atmosphere, and the views from every terrace are absolutely stunning. Sea, hills, and light stretching as far as you can see. The apartments are spacious, spotless, and well equipped, with a lovely pool that’s perfect after a day out exploring. The road up is quite steep, so having a car really helps, but the peace and quiet at the top make it completely worth it. A special mention to Pepy, the owner, who was incredibly kind and shared an excellent list of local tavernas and hidden gems. A great way to experience authentic Cretan food and hospitality. A perfect base for exploring the Agia Pelagia area and enjoying the island’s serene beauty.

My wife and I stayed here for a week. The hilltop setting above the Ligaria and Pelagia beaches is perfect. The apartment was spotless and well equipped with a patio overlooking the sea. We were greeted with fresh fruit and a bottle of wine. The pool is convenient after a long day of traveling. The location provides for convenient trips in the North to points from Chania, Rethymno, Heraklion, and Malia, as well as to the many environs and antiquities. Though we also spent a week in the South, you can reach the major southern sites and beaches in little more than an hour.

I have been going here every year for at least 5 years, and it always is an amazing experience. Not far from Heraklion (25km/25min) and from the beach (Ag. Pelagia, ~15min by car). It is up on a hill and thus very quiet, which is always hard to find in Crete in the summer. The evenings are often cool with a night breeze, which is a blessing in the hot Cretan summer. Pepi is a wonderful host, and takes care of any requests you may have with a smile and the traditional Cretan hospitality. The views from the balconies are truly amazing and breathtaking -- I could stay on the balcony for the entire vacation. The swimming pool is 12m long, which makes it great for relaxation but also for (light) workout swimming which is also great given how much one eats in the surrounding…

We were welcomed by the extremely charming host who took care of our last minute booking and our dinner, and by a bottle of wine in the fridge! The view is breathtaking - even locals consider it one of the best on the island. Each room is well isolated and has its own terrace. Seem to be equally good for solitary travellers and for families with kids.

Everything was amazing,so relaxed and comfortable,plus no mosquitoes and no need for AC

An apartment with private pool in reality looks even better. It was super clean. The pool is quite deep and filled automatically every morning. The flat is spacious, with bright colors. Because the hotel is on top of the mountain, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the sea. I believe that one day I will return to this beautiful place.

The beds were excellent! The views of the Agia Pelagia bay where a dream! The attention to detail and the feeling of being at home, with a great hostess ( she is always available yet not intrusive) & timely housekeeping!

The hotel has a great and quiet location on a cliff facing the mountain. You definitely need a car to move within the island from this hotel as it's far from everything. The owner is very friendly and ready to help you with everything. Be prepared for mosquito bites as you will be in the middle of the greens. Cleanness is average.
