Princess Hotel & Restaurant — Hotel in Gavdos Municipality

We unfortunately had our morning boat to Gavdos cancelled so could reach the island only around midnight. George, the joyful owner, picked us up at the pier and we were even able to have a late dinner in his restaurant. ||The studios are spacious, bright, have a lovely balcony with view, a sitting area and privacy. Also from the sleeping area there is a balcony door so once you have opened all doors and windows, you get a refreshing air even in the worst July evenings. You also can keep them open for the night, the place is very safe and silent so you won’t be disturbed. Maybe just a cat will enjoy your company, sleeping silently on one of your kitchen chair :)||Sheets and towels are spotless and there is also a basic kitchen for those who want to cook.||The restaurant is very tasty, easy going, offers different greek dishes and wines, and has reasonable prices.||Everything was great and me and my dad loved to stay there for two nights.||What makes the difference and this place even more spectacular is surely the staff: George and his kind wife and brother are always ready to ask you about your day, to joke, to help you with infos or to drop you to the beach or pier.||Chrysi, the waitress, is the cherry on the cake; patient, kind, driven, always smiling and with a word for everyone.||Even their dog Bubi is a funny one! Don’t forget not to feed him as he is too spoiled by tourists and needs to lose some weight 😆 ||Enjoy peaceful view from every corner of Gavdos Princess and try one of numerous footpaths that brings you across perfumed pine forests to crystal clear beaches.||The only think you may dislike if you are a light sleeper are the emergency exit signs that light up the whole room during the night but you can cover them with a cloth:)||Would definitely recommend and come back,...

I have to start with a big Thank you from the bottom of my heart. To all of you at Gavdos Princess. Giorgios, Likourgos, Lia and my fantastic Sophia who delighted us thanks to the passion she puts in preparing her cooking both traditional and with inventive. Each and every dish a paradise, matching the place we were in... Let's not forget Likourgos's grilled dishes always perfect, be it fish or meat! Best grilled fish ever had.... and our special breakfast omelettes Giorgios prepared us! And Lia always so kind and helpful! The stone appartments are perfect, tastefully made and decorated, comfortable, full of light, big (they are for two, but there was only one left and we stayed in 4), each with a private terrace overlooking the island. There is the A/C but even though it was hot we didn't turn it on, leaving the door windows open was much better. And that allowed to enjoy one of the best night skies ever! Thank you for helping us on our transfers on the island. You made everything so much easier! And thank you Sophie for your patience and advises on walks and beaches! What can I say.... We felt at home, in this haven of peace, managed by marvellous persons welcoming you, advising you in order to make your stay in Gavdos what you wished, actually even better than you wished, and make you feel special...

Thank you Sophia! Thank you Giorgios, Likourgos and Lia! We miss...

I didn’t stay in the hotel so this review is about the restaurant only. The menu offers beautifully prepared traditional Cretan dishes all made with fresh and local products. Simple, but very tasteful, and made with love for good food and hospitality. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The chef offered me to take the leftover Cretan salad and wrapped it ‘to go’. The beautiful building is new and modern with a very traditional look and style. It is situated in the center of town (which by itself is not bigger than a few buildings). Outside seating is partially covered, and together with the location on top of a hill that came with a very welcome breeze it made it an unbeatable spot. I ordered a grilled beef steak cooked to perfection with seasoned fries and a Cretan salad. Both dishes I recommend. The prices are all very modest and don’t exceed the prices you find on the main island. Would go back in...
