High in the mountains above Rethymno, Kapsaliana Hotel offers a picturesque retreat.

The resort has been painstakingly built on remnants of a small but vibrant 17th-century settlement, with several traditional Cretan houses hewn from stone.
They position around an 18th-century olive mill featuring stone arches, a stone press, and clay storage vessels.
Just beyond the lodge's entrance is the popular Arkadi Gorge.

Each room exudes a charming rustic feel with earth-toned decor and farmhouse furniture.

The rooms are named after stars and constellations.
