Stay: Metohi Kindelis, Crete
A dream-like farm-turned gem of a boutique in Western Crete
Chania, Crete, Greece
3 private cottages, from 310 eur
Located 3 km outside of Chania, this 17th century villa and farm has been meticulously restored and is the stuff of your European and culinary fantasies: Guests are treated to stone cottages that accommodate up to 4 guests (one bed plus sofa beds), each with a private pool, and garden terrace. Onsite parking. Each room also has a kitchen so you can experiment with market shopping and the garden’s harvest—and the fridge is stocked for your arrival. Breakfasts are made from property-harvested ingredients (there’s a monthly calendar for what fruits are ripe each month). Reviews are flawless, with people calling it a “gem,” “magical,” and “where I fell in love with Crete.” *Note this establishment sometimes requires a 4-night minimum.
