These lovely cottages and peaceful garden provided an idyllic stay in Greece. We loved meeting the owner and the views were wonderful. Our cottage was very comfortable, we wish we had stayed longer.

Great budget option
Lovely welcome - owner offered us lemons from her garden plus a litre of wine. It is in a beautiful setting - the owner takes great pride in her garden which is very colourful. Fairly basic 2 floor accommodation with air con, it had a beautiful ground floor terrace plus large first floor terrace with views of the sea and two shower rooms - one on ground floor and the other just off the bedroom. You may struggle if you are planning on eating all meals here but there are two hotplates plus small oven so all the facilities are available. The rating is mainly due to the cost which is extremely reasonable if you book early enough. The accommodation was slightly too far outside of Paleochora for us to feel comfortable to walk in in July heat but property is reasonably close to Camping site and we drove plenty of others walking in. There are also two attractive beaches close by but they entail a fairly long walk or min of 10 min car ride along a dust track (takes so long as it is difficult to go fast) but Sandy Beach has a lot of trees for shade, umbrellas and sunbeds available for hire - plus decent cantina and WC and bizarrely a full on site Spa. There is a nude sunbathing area at the far end of the beach.

Great views and good location
judt come back from 10 days stay at Olive Tree Cottages. the upstairs south facing bedroom balcony gave us a gorgeous view over olive trees to the sea and sky a lovely place for breakfast or an evering drink. comfortable well equipped accommodation friendly and helpful hosts who welcomed us with some of their delicious home made rose wine and olive oil, lovely well tended gardens the tinkling of goat bells a cockerell and cicadas the only sounds. all in all a great place to be. Convenienly located 100m from nearest beach, half way between the town and the superb beach at gialiskari, around 2 km each way, so a manageable walk or an easy drive or bike ride. highly recommended.

Beautiful gardens and environs
The olive tree cottages are absolutely charming and beautiful. The secluded private balcony overlooked a beatiful valley with olive trees and the sound of a river and was perfect for morning breakfasts. A nearby dirt road leads to a very nice wild beach and the lovely town is a short walk down the paved road. Inside the courtyard is a spacious lovely garden nicely cultivated by the owner.

My stay in Paleochora at the Olive Tree Cottages
Tucked away very close to Paleochora. A quiet location ideal for a relaxing stay. Nice garden and a confortable cottage with a balcony upstairs and down. The owners brought local olive oil, home and home made cakes, bread etc which was nice. Paleochora is a delightful. friendly small town which comes alive at night with the locals and tourists enjoying its bars and nice restaurants. You can also take a boat trip to Gavdos and other locations. If you fancy a drive through the mountains on a nice road make sure you visit Elafonissi for a truly beautiful beach (great for children).

Piacevole soggiorno
Qualche difficoltà a trovare la struttura un po' decentrata rispetto al paese. Ambiente accogliente e tranquillo. Gestione ultrafamiliare, cordiale e sollecita. Comodo alle spiagge ed al paese. Opportuna la disponibilità di un mezzo di trasporto. Complessivamemte un'esperienza positiva.

sehr nette kleine Anlage im Grünen mit einer wunde
In unserer Ferienwohnung war alles vorhanden was ein Mensch braucht. Nette Vermieter, die immer ansprechbar waren. Schöner Balkon und einer kleinen Terrasse. Die Räumlichkeiten wurden regelmäßig gereinigt. Zum Meer waren es nur 3 Minuten Fussweg. Die kleine Stadt Paleochora war gut zu Fuß oder mit dem Fahrrad erreichbar. Sehr ruhig. Zum Entspannen genau das Richtige. Diese Unterkunft würden wir jederzeit wieder nehmen.

Hotel 1,4 km von Paleochora, es ist daher besser, motorisiert zu sein ( ein Fahrrad ist auch gut). Nah an Stränden, Wanderungen, Tavernen, gute und ruhige Lage, um diese geniale Region zu entdecken! Der Garten ist sehr schön, hat viele Schattenecken. Die Besitzerin war immer bemüht, unsere Wünsche zu erfüllen. Meerblick vom Balkon aus. Ein einziges Manko: durch den Holzboden wird jede Bewegung innerhalb der Wohnung gehört!

Very nice place. Ideal to be close to the beach in a very calm area. The cottage is very well arranged. Lot of flowers. Little paradise. Welcoming owner. Not too far to the village even walking. I had a wonderfull time there. Will enjoy to go back there if another stay in Paleochora.

Grande accoglienza da parte di Georgia, la proprietaria. Bel posto, appartato ma a due passi da Paleochora. Consigliatissimo, unico warning: non fidatevi della mappa google, per trovarlo seguite le indicazioni del Camping Paleochora e, lasciando alle spalle il paese, dopo 600 m vedete le indicazioni

Au milieu d'un beau jardin
Le jardin est très beau et le lieu un peu éloigné du centre ce qui garantit le calme. Il y a une plage pas très loin. Les appartements sont grands avec terasse et balcon agréables. Le confort des appartements est un peu désuet ( notamment la salle de bain ). C'est un très bon lieu de séjour. La patronne est très accueillante et très gentille. On peut y retourner sans hésiter.

Vil du gerne holde ferie på græsk med din partner er dette et super lækkert sted. Det er beliggende ved bjerge med ro og natur som nærmeste nabo. Der er 300 meter til en gods sten strand, og 2 km til den hyggeligste og lækre sandstrand uden for mange mennesker.

Bien pour couples
Petits chalets buen entretenus. Jardin superbe, vue sur la mer et à 5 min de la plage. Dommage que la propriétaire des lieux transforme vos vacances en colonie de vacances, pistant tout ce que vous faite, rentrant derrière vous pour bien vérifier que la clim soit éteinte etc.... Vraiment relou ! J'ai payé pour la location, j'ai donc le droit d'en faire ce que je veux. Et si je passais mes vacances à l intérieur toute la journée ???
