Accommodation Type: Traditional Hotels
The idea of the guesthouse was born, when, still as students, we used to visit rural tourism facilities and traditional guesthouses all over Greece. The dream started to come true in 2002, when the restoration of the edifice built at the beginning of the 20th century commenced, with much love and care. As simple as that, the guest house Adriades was created at the top of the village Smari, at the location Arhontika next to the old school. It is named after the wonderful view that someone can enjoy from the guest house, as the side of the mountain across is full of oaks, commonly called drides or adriades in the folk speech.
The lodging has been restored with stones from the area, and its roofs are mostly tiled. The two bedrooms are accessed from different stairs. The smaller one has the old iron bed of grandma, whereas the lantern lets you enjoy the beautiful sky at night.
The bigger bedroom has a wonderful view to the mountain, a wooden double bed, while the telescope can keep you company on the divine summer nights.
People say that love goes through the stomach, that is why our fully equipped kitchen can cover both your appetites.
The kitchen has all the appliances, a dishwasher, a coffee machine and all the types of coffee.
In the lodging you will find olive oil, vinegar, marmalade, sweet preserves, olives, arrack, as well as a bottle of red wine, all produced by us.
On the ground floor the fireplace and living room is a company retreat for hours of relaxation
The big fireplace next to the sofa, as well as the stove will create a relaxed atmosphere. You can enjoy reading a book from our rich library, playing board games (you will find playing cards, Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, Backgammon and Monopoly), listening to music or watching a film on TV or DVD player.
In the past, the heart of a home was its yard. In our yard you can enjoy a nice meal at its big table under the trellis, relax in full peace, whereas the aromatic herbs of the garden will transfer scents of the Cretan country.
