About Kapsaliana Village Hotel
The historic village of Kapsaliana, built around an old olive mill and surrounded by Crete’s largest olive grove, was all but abandoned in the 1950s. Years later, a local architect discovered the place and transformed it into what it is today: an uncommonly restful and unusually memorable luxury resort by the name of Kapsaliana Village Hotel. Period charm is everywhere; the village’s 18th-century buildings feature original stone archways and wood-beamed ceilings. The rooms and suites retain these historical elements while updating the spaces for high-end modern travelers. There’s a lovely swimming pool framed by flowers, as well as a lemon tree-shaded cocktail bar on a beautiful stone terrace. Meanwhile Elaia, the hotel’s fine dining restaurant, serves artful farm-to-table fare prepared in an open-air kitchen. Round out the experience with a tasting of local wines, a stroll through the orchard, and a visit to the on-site olive oil museum.
