Top Hotels Near Old Philosopher's Monastery in Gortynia from AU$124

"It was a little hard to find because the rooms are in a back alley way, up several steps where we eventually saw a dign, but the place was really nice with heated floors which were welcome on a cold day. The gal who showed us around was really sweet and very responsive. I'll for sure stay again if ever in the area! "

"Well located very close to centre of village"

"Very comfortable bed, great breakfast, easy to find and parking opposite. Clean and friendly"

"Location is the most important"

"Great place with amazing views! Elena, the owner, was lovely but doesn't speak English. We managed with a few words each, a bit of sign language and a lot of Google translate. Rooms are perhaps unusual in decor but very comfortable and lots of choice for breakfast - particularly good omelette cooked freshly by Elena. Good tavernas within walking distance. Fabulous walking with the menalon trail. Very quiet and peaceful. And did I mention the views!"

"We stumbled across this retreat almost by accident and it was the highlight of our trip to Greece. We’ve traveled the entire country and seen the most amazing places but the Ambelona Retreat is in its a class of its own. From the amazing service from our host George, to the phenomenal views and architecture, this place can only be described as magical. We will 100% be back and I can’t wait. Thank you!!"
