Overview
As its name hints, it is built on the grounds of a 16th century monastery and the church of these origins sits next to it.
The spacious suite (45 sqm) is named by the Cretan and Greek Mythology.
An old olive press still sits in the courtyard, cleverly acting as an impromptu dining area. There are independant terraces, courtyards and patios for studio thus allowing time for personal recollection.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
