An illustration of a guest book

Montekore is a true corner of paradise. Everything is cared for down to the smallest detail, creating a perfect and relaxing atmosphere. The owner was absolutely fantastic - warm, attentive, and always ready to help. Our stay couldn’t have been more wonderful!

E Marinella October 2025

Montekore is a real experience. A beautiful property very well managed by hosts who really do make an effort to make you feel comfortable. This is my sixth year of summer rentals from The Thinking Traveller, so I have many experiences against which to assess. It's well located and wonderfully appointed.

KA August 2025

Montekore was simply an amazing, inspirational place. Design grandeur but with an elegance of finish and an absolute attention to detail. Simply wow! We would return because it provided everything we needed to make a family holiday an amazing experience, with all the facilities you could hope for to coalesce as a group.

Richard Parsons October 2024

Wonderfully presented, Montekore is true to its description and pictures. Incredibly helpful, charing owners. Hospitable and courteous. I would happily return.
