We have spent wonderful time in house of Dimitrios,his mother was very helpful and gave us delicious things to eat.I can recommend this place to visit west part of krete, thank you Dimitrios

The place and the appartment was great. Also Dimitris was great and very helpful. But unfortunately I saw some lizards in the house. Although he told me that they are not toxic, I couldn´t stay there.

We spend 2 nights in Vrises. It's perfect place to stay if you want to visit Chania and surroundings and you want to sleep in quite place in the village. Of course a car is needed. We came at night, so we didn't see too much that time. But in the morning we experienced incredible view straight from the room - sea on the left, partially snowy mountains on the right, green hills everywhere and trees full of lemons in the garden. Just amazing moment. Dimitrios was waiting us in the place easy to find, then we followed him to the house. We were welcomed really nice, get home fruits, eggs and olive oil. Dimitrios was pleasant, showed us everything and answered all questions. On the second day when we came back from Hania we found the bag full of sweet oranges hanging on the doors handle. The flat is simple and clean. Just enough to stay for 2 nights. If somebody expects higher comfort then may be disappointed. What we found as small disadvantage was lack of toilet seat but as we observed later it's quite common in Crete.

No, not 5 star with ribbon around the arm! Who wants here is wrong! Who wants love, heart, wonderful people to know is right here. I wanted to take the mother and a dog from Dimitris had no chance. Dimitris itself is world class! It was a great vacation and give 20 stars of the heart! If it be allowed the time we determined to be there again! Greetings wholeheartedly by Uwe and Claudia Nein, keine 5 Sterne mitz Bändchen um den Arm! Wer das hier will ist falsch! Wer Liebe, Herz, wundervolle Menschen kennenlernen will ist hier genau richtig. Ich wollte die Mutter und einen Hund von Dimitris mitnehmen hatte keine Chance. Dimitris selbst ist Weltklasse! Es war ein super Urlaub und gebe 20 Sterne der Herzen! Wenn es die Zeit erlaubt werden wir bestimmt wieder da sein! Liebe Grüße von ganzem Herzen von Uwe und Claudia

Nice place on top of the hill, out of the crowd and confusion of Platanias. Ideal to rest. We enjoyed with Dimitri's relatives and tasted real Greek traditional food. We met a lot of funny pets all around the apartament. Take a look!

Old style holiday house with seperate bedroom, set on a hillside farm, very interesting to see the rural way of Greek life, including goats and chickens. All the hosts were very hospitable friendly, welcoming and kind, which made for a very pleasant experience.

the small and simple house lays in the mountains very nearby the parents´house of Dimitrios. it is a little greek farm with goat,s chicken, ducks, dogs and wild cats. Far away from tourism but 10 minutes by car to the beaches. Dimitrios and his mother Niki were so gentle. Niki showed my children all their animals and brought us fruits and traditional Greek food.

Nice location to explore Chania! If you wanna have an experince of greek rural life, I recommend this house. The house was clean, and Host was easy to communicate & ready to help! But it would be more plus, if there were mosquito nets for all the windows! as we didn't know that we need to pay 5euros more for airconditiner. But we enjoyed a lot overall :)

Helen and Sean were really nice hosts who made us feel like home and gave us many good recommendations for places to visit and specially amazing locations to have lunch or dinner. We really recommend this quiet and lovely place - the air smells like jasmine, the view is outstanding and they grow their own herbs and vegetables. The location of their place is perfect. Totally quiet but also close to falassarna beach, balos and other amazing places. Or you can just stay home on the sunny balcony and watch shooting stars the whole night. We really loved staying in their beautiful bright and clean apartment - honestly it feels like home. We are looking forward to come back!

Helen & Sean was adorable and disponible at any time, our stay was really perfect, we didn't expect a such good surprise : the apartment was lovely, clean and surrounded by sun and all the animals they got there. Its a perfect location to discover Crete, have some wonderful walks, or just enjoying the beaches nearby. In a nutshell : quiet and amazing place to stay. I highly recommend it :) !

Our stay in Arête apartments-Jali was by all means a wonderful experience! Not only because of our two marvellous hosts Sean and Helen, but because of the magic of the place itself. The property is located in the village of Xamoudochori on the hills above the beach village of Maleme. Among olive trees, eucalyptuses, and overlooking an orange grove, following Helen's precise instructions, stands the beautiful ochra-coloured Arête. Our hosts greeted us with a smile and even though we were planning to leave our stuff and head out, we soon found ourselves enjoying a cup of tea and a wonderful discussion in their garden. Everything they grow is bio and absolutely delicious. Numerous herbs (with the appropriate label), seasonal vegetables, olives and more; Sean and Helen take pride in their home and for a good reason: it was built with love and with it everything in it blossoms. What to expect: Great hospitality from two wonderful people: funny, helpful, joyful and laid back. Tips and ideas on parts of Crete waiting for you to explore them Clean and beautiful apartment with a wonderful view of the hills of North Crete. Balconies with a great view, or relaxation in the garden under the shade of the tent. Wonderful bio garden with seasonal vegetables and herbs. Fresh eggs every morning. Chickens are so friendly you can even chat on how you liked their eggs! The longest name for a railway station (ask Helen) Not for those looking for a pool by the beach sipping cocktails. This is a place for inspiration, adventure and country life. If this is not in your agenda, stick to Platanias. Highly recommended and hopefully we will manage to return! I am sure I am forgetting things, but the best memories are those you keep to yourself. And this is the best place to create Sean is organising visits to historic sites so you ask him If olive-picking in November sounds great, book now! You will get to enjoy the autumn serenity on Crete and the welcoming embrace of the Arête estate.

Our stay in Arete was such a great experience! Everything was perfect. Our apartment was fantastic, spacious, comfortable, clean, great location with everything you need. Moreover, the view is beautiful and breath-taking! Helen and Sean are excellent hosts who make you feel welcome from the minute you arrive. They were super friendly, kind and riders with us during our whole stay. We have enjoyed some very good moments with them, talking about everything and sharing a cup of tea. Helen & Sean are wonderful and the best hosts you could ask for. They give you eggs from their chickens and the best advice on where to hike or eat. If you're lucky enough to get a reservation here, just go without any hesitation!

Way better than expected! Tanja and her family are very nice people. You feel very welcome :) The place is great, clean, bright and well organized. The bed is very comfortable. The garden is even better than on pictures. Great. Highly recommended.

Tanja was a fantastic host, very friendly and responsive, she had excellent ideas for local trips. The apartment was beautifully designed, well equipped and in a great location for exploring NW Crete.

Our stay at Villa Nektarios was perfect! Everything about the place was better than we expected. Our host Tanja was such a lovely person and made us feel so welcome, especially as she had thought of little things for our baby that made our stay extra special. She had also bought some breakfast and delivered fresh bread in the morning on the day of our arrival, which made us feel so welcome The studio and surroundings were beautiful, and old olive oil factory that had been beautifully restored with a lovely garden. The village was nice to walk around in and had a small taverna as well as a small supermarket, other than that you definitely need a car to get around while staying here. Tanja helped us arrange a rental car that waited at the airport even though we arrived in the middle of the night. Tanja also gave us a lot of great tips on where to go and what to see on Crete, and all though we have been there many times before we got to see some new beautiful spots thanks to her. We would definitely consider staying here again if we come back to Crete!

We are absolutely happy that we have been able to go to Tanja's place. Accommodation is even more comfortable and more beautiful than in the photos. Tanja is incredibly polite and hospitable. She told us a lot of interesting places to visit and gave a map with all the notes. The house has absolutely everything you need. Tanja took care about us and left some fresh food for the first couple of days (bread, vegetables, wine, water, fruit, etc.). The territory and the house are very interesting landscaped and look really great. We managed to do every day fresh juice from oranges (which you can collect in the garden). Cat and dog did not interfere with us a drop. Instead we were very happy when they come to visit our part of the house :). The house is located in a village (15 minutes car drive to the center of Chania). Tanja, thank you very much for everything! It was a lovely 4 days in your home!

Very nice and quiet place with a comfortable home and a large surrounding area. Hospitality hostess Tanja limitless! The house we were waiting for fresh produce, bread, fruit basket and bottle of fine wine. Tanja gave valuable advice on places to visit. Ideal for couples (with children) in the presence of a vehicle. The house is close to all major places of western Crete. We hope to come back again!

We stayed at Tanja's place for 3 days and it was great. Tanja was very nice and helpful. She came to pick us up and took us home. She offered her help to find new places to visit and gave us anything we needed (included beach umbrella and sunbeds). The place is exactly as it is in the photos and the outside garden and terrace are perfect for having breakfast in the morning. The studio is not by the sea but it is very close to the beach and at easy distance to the highway to get everywhere. Recommended!

Tanja is a brilliant hostess who reads every wish from our eyes. She is a knowledgeable tour guide and can give lots of tips in terms of beaches, restaurants, Worth seeing-liabilities and transactions. The apartment is clear and practical, a terrace and an idyllic garden area offer great opportunities to enjoy the Cretan sun and air. Who wants to the beach, it has a short 5 minutes by car and you are on a not crowded pebble beach with sexy Taverna. Gladly again.

Not only the place looks much better than the pictures but Tanja has been a wonderful host and we 've really enjoyed our stay at Villa Nektarios. The place is easily reachable by car, close to beaches, Platanias and Chania as well as the National road so you can easily travel within Creta. The house was clean, tidy, in a beautiful and quiet setting. It's the perfect location for a couple willing to relax and yet easily reach Cretan best places. We definitely recommend this location for future travels.

Areti's boutique hotel is wonderful. It's professional yet homey, apartment is huge but still cosy and Areti and her family are so attentive to every need and wish. Thank you so much for the amazing cooking lessons. Felt like I was right in Mama's kitchen as a kid learning all the essential tricks and techniques to traditional Greek cooking :).

Home perfect, daily attentions, luxurious accommodation. Sheets and towels changed daily, spotless, lovely decor, quality equipment ... We perfection exists've met! An unforgettable stay

Areti is a perfect hostess. Discrete, always reachable, professionnal. The place is fantastic, high class, well located close to Chania, the most beautifull beaches of North West of Creta (Falassarna, Balos, Kissamos, etc) and only 30km from the famous Samaria Gorges. Many details and attentions will make you feel comfortable, relax and enjoy your stay.

It was a nice experience...the house is located in a beautiful countryside but not far from the places of (URL HIDDEN) was a nice apartament, full- equipped, the only problem that it was too hot.I suggest Helen who was very kind, to put a sun curtain outside in order to protect the (URL HIDDEN) is an ideal place for relaxing ...

An absolutely charming and resting place! Emma and Mick are very nice, warm and welcoming hosts. Special mention to the dogs, so friendly and cute! The house is well located, well equiped, well decorated, we had such a great time over here! An excellent choice for holidays in couple or with family.

Emma and Nick are excellent hosts. They do everything to make you feel relaxed and comfortable. They let us use their swimming pool which was a great advantage and we felt really good with it. The appartment is well-equipped and has everything you need. Emma prepares everything you might need on the the first day of your arrival just in case you forget to do the proper shopping. The surrounding is charming, quiet with beautiful view from the patio. The dogs are lovable, like two inseparable funny cartoon characters:)

We had a lovely experience at Emma's place. We stayed there for around 9 days with my husband and our baby who turned one whilst there. They prepared the place leaving with us highchair, cot and a lot of other things for our baby which was great! The place was In a great position (though the road to their house can be a bit challenging) and within a quick ride we could get pretty much everywhere we wanted to go . Emma and her husband advised on loads of places and activities to do which was amazing. They were really nice and we spent a couple of nights with them talking about life after the baby was in bed. They were also very reachable both before and during the holiday and replied to the very many questions we had! We also enjoyed some baby free time in the swimming pool both in the night and in the day, while she was sleeping downstares. Definitely coming back!

Emma and Nik are very welcoming and made us feel like at home. They offered us some food on the arrival and even left some products for the toilet. They explained the best places to visit and helped us with directions. The house is superb with impressive views and a swimming pool you can also use. Good location to visit the west part of Crete, although a bit apart from the main touristics things (not a problem for us as we rented a car)

Wonderful place with great people. Emma and her Family were great hosts, very helpful and warm. The apartment is located in beautiful, small village and has a stunning view on the olive groves and the sea. The apartment is very big and great equipped (literally, everything is there!). Close (few minutes ride) to the nice beaches. But we also refreshed ourself in the swimming pool during hot days and evenings, we enjoyed it very much :-) I couldn't have imagined better place for the holidays!

Super séjour chez Nick et Emma! Tous les deux sont vraiment super sympas. La maison est située un peu à l'écart dans la campagne crétoise mais la piscine, la vue et la tranquillité en valent le coup!

Jeżeli szukasz komfortowo wyposażonego domu, czystego i położonego w pięknej i spokojnej okolicy to apartament Emmy jest miejscem dla Ciebie. Ciche i pełne uroku miejsce ze wspaniałym widokiem. Emma z mężem to ludzie przyjaźni i pomocni, ceniący prywatność swoich gości. Dwa psy pilnujące posesji stały się ulubieńcami naszej trzyletniej córki, która miała łzy w oczach żegnając się z nimi. Jeżeli wybierasz opcję wynajmu samochodu i podróżowania po wyspie to Kontomari jest dobrą baza wypadową zarówno do Chani, stolicy prowincji jak i do najpiękniejszych plaż wyspy Elafonisi, Balos, Falasarna, Paleochora. Dla lubiących piesze wycieczki polecamy Wąwóz Samaria położony w pobliżu apartamentu oraz wspaniały ogród botaniczny w pobliżu Fournes. Jeśli natomiast chcesz spędzić urlop stacjonarnie to dom Emmy jest wspaniałym miejscem do relaksu w ciszy, otoczony słońcem możesz leżeć koło basenu i czytać książki z bardzo bogatej biblioteki właścicielki. Gorąco polecamy jako bezpieczne miejsce na rodzinne wakacje!

Highly recommended; clean, quiet, spacious apartments with a lovely swimming pool (saltwater, no chemicals — a big plus for us as our daughter's skin is sensitive to chlorine). The apartments are within easy reach of everything, but sufficiently secluded to be private and relaxing. 500m away is the beach and a wide choice of bars, shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. The bus passes right outside and will bring you into neighbouring Gerani/Platanias if you want to venture further. Or you can eat and drink at the poolside bar, watch television, enjoy the free wifi, and just generally chill out. The owner Sara and her friendly staff couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming — thank you so much to Joanna, Eirini and everybody... and hope to stay with you again soon! :)

The apartment was beautiful and clean. Sara has been very nice with us. We spent a really good time there

Sara and her team were extremely friendly and helpful. The area itself very attractive, clean and conveniently located. The saltwater pool - a dream! For us an ideal base for exploring the west and south of the island. Supermarkets, taverns and the beach are just minutes away. The dog cookie - the lovely one - was always up for pats. Thanks to all!

We very much enjoyed our brief stay with Sarah - she was a charming host and knowledgeable about the region including good restaurant recommendations! Her breakfasts were good and the nice pool and was welcome relief!

all fantastic and super accurate. Sara and Lisa were fantastic. I definitely recommend it to families with children and not. excellent position x those seeking tranquility but at the same time be comfortable a bit of everything. definitely somewhere to return.

A lovely apartment in a fantastic location. If you don't mind a short walk it's 5 minutes to the beach and 40 minute walk to Platanias. A beautiful pool and Helen was very friendly! Excellent value for money!

We were greeted and given a welcome drink by Donia and also given maps and information for the area. Although our host was onsite the whole time she left us to ourselves but was always available to ask anything of. The room was spacious and well equipped and we wanted for nothing. The kitchen facilities were fine and the pool was lovely. There were plenty of good tavernas around and we would recommend Small Paradise if you wanted Greek food. The apartments were close to everything we wanted and far enough away from the main tourist hub of Platanias. It was well served by mini marts.

Appartment was clean, but it was on the 1st floor, under the stairs. With only one small window. Most of the time we have to keep light on. All other was ok. Hostess is realy nice woman. Sea is nearly 200 mrs walking, swimming poll with fresh water available any time. Recomended, while you in Chania area. But ask for the 2 floor room.

Very nice hostess. We had a room on the second floor. Our apartment was cleaned every day, i.e. toilet and kitchen waste was discarded. The floor was mopped every day. The pool was nice and fresh. the sun beds were perfect, not distressed or something. From the bus station in Geranni is it about a 15-minute walk away to the apartment. Bakery and supermarket is nearby. If you have to depend on public transport are bus boarding placed behind the apartment off the main road. We have especially enjoyed the rest. No noise from noisy tourists. From Geranni there is a 24-hour bus to Chania. So if you do get the crowds going to look up this is very easy. Thanks Donia for the wonderful week that we were allowed to stay. ------------ Erg aardige gastvrouw. Drankje bij aankomst. Wij hadden een kamer op de tweede verdieping. Het appartement werd elke dag schoongemaakt, dwz toilet en keuken afval werd weggegooid. De vloer werd bij ons elke dag gedweild. Het zwembad was lekker fris. De bedjes lagen heerlijk, niet ingezakt of zo. Vanaf het busstation in Geranni is het ongeveer een kwartiertje lopen. Bakker (2 stuks) en supermarkt is dichtbij. Als je afhankelijk bent van openbaarvervoer zijn de bus opstap plaatsten achter het appartement aan de grote weg. Wij hebben erg genoten van de rust. Het strand is net zoiets als aan de kust in Nederland. Als je toch wilt stappen of de drukte wilt opzoeken kan dat door met de 24h bus te reizen (in het hoogseizoen) vanuit Chania tot aan Geranni gaat deze elke uur.

Fantastic and calm place to be at. The hostes Tonia was a really loving and serviceminded women. Our room was clean, fresh and had all that you needed. Even a good hairdryer

We greatly enjoyed the hospitality of (Ky) Donia. They welcomed us with a cup of coffee and vegetables from her own garden. They very kindly. The garden looks beautiful. Nectarines, bananas, oranges, pears, lemons. The pool looks tip top off. We had an apartment on the first floor overlooking the pool and sea. Beautiful. It is neat and well equipped. Donia cleaned every day. Is the kitchen complete with tea and coffee. An extra blanket is also provided. With Greek Easter Donia surprised us with a bowl of delicious homemade snacks. For shopping you can go anywhere, but Lidl we found most useful. A great location and from there to eg. Balos, Elafonissos, Chania, driving the Samaria Gorge. Thank you Donia for fine days. Recommended!!!!

Nice quiet location, restaurants, supermarket and car / motorcycle rental nearby. Friendly quiet reception. Nice pool, spacious room and terrace. Garden is beautiful and gets lots of attention from the owner. Very welcoming. Bed linen and towels smell good !!

Tranquility, rest, near Chania and above all super clean !!!

We had a fantastic time in Chania! Nikos house was the perfect location to stay! We were close to the beaches and the city! Nikos was very friendly and welcoming! We recommend you Mini Art Apartment!

Lefteris and his family were lovely and really helpful. The food was delivious and fresh, the acommodation was great. We were only there for one night but we would have liked to have stayed for more. Graciasss!!!!

We really enjoyed our stay at Stavros Studios. Nice staff, beach, close supermarkets, good food, nice pool and a clean apartment. We would highly recommend anyone to stay here! One should, however, consider renting a car to explore the beautiful island and see as many of the wonderful beaches (Elafonisi, Loutraki, Balos, ...) as possible.

A really friendly and beautiful place. Would definitely return

We spent lovely time with my boyfriend in Stavros Studios and Apartments! Everybody was very kind and helpful when we needed anything. The place is very quiet and perfect for resting. Restaurant serves delicious food for the good price and supertasty home-made wine. We would recommend it to everybody.

We had a very nice stay at Stavros studios. This is an amazing place to relax. Nice staff, pool and very good food. Studio was beautiful, clean and fully equipped. It exactly like described in pictures. We rented a car to visit this wonderful island. We will recommend this place !

The people at Stavros Studios were very friendly and helpful. Particularly helpful was Angela of Strada Tours who provided transfers to/from airport/ferry port and did a guided tour for us. As to the studios themselves, there were four of us who rented individual units and all four of us felt they were lacking in amenities, atmosphere, and were not worth the price paid. We have all stayed in studios around Greece, and these were the most basic. Also, the units were not facing the ocean, as this profile picture indicates, in fact, it was pretty far removed, a 3 to 5 minute walk each way, to the beach. The pool bar and restaurant was nice and that was the only place where the wifi worked. We did love the peace and quiet of Gerani Beach, much preferred to noisy crowded Platanias and the beaches toward Heraklion. All in all, I would give it an average rating.

This is a small family run complex of a dozen studios or apartments, in well established grounds and well tended gardens that is like a quiet oasis, off the road and on the beach. It has many restaurants, tavernas, bakeries and "supermarkets" within a five minute walk. We were welcomed by Haroula and husband Mixales who were lovely and had a great sense of combined humour throughout our 2 week stay. We were pleased with the studio which has all one needs for self catering, drinks and fab bathroom with great shower. There was seating on patio at front and back which we used early morning and early evening but because of the great established hedges and flora---one did not get sun on either at these times but this flora and fauna was what gave Stavros's Villas its unique privacy. The Pool with loungers, 3 different eating or lounging areas with great sofas did retain the sun until 7 or 8pm, as did the beach loungers. We tried many local eating establishments throughout our 2 weeks but only went back to Bossa Nova and Epanthia where style and service excelled at both. However, for food quality( thanks Mrs Thespina Pardalakis) and relaxed ambiance of Stavros Villas there was no competition--we ate there the most and were never disappointed

We arrived to the airport quite late and rented a car with GPS and even with it, it was really difficult to find the place. My advice would be to make sure you check on (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps how to get there properly before you are actually in Crete. Once there you will have plenty parking space, probably even just by your apartment's door. We were welcomed by Haroula, who was lovely and gave us a complimentary bottle of cold water upon arrival since the weather was really warm for us. We asked her about a few places we wanted to go, and she kindly gave us some recommendations. Once in the room we found a booklet with very helpful information about Crete: must see points, where to eat, shopping, safety tips and important phone numbers. The room was clean, with enough towel sets (both bath and beach); the bathroom was clean, with shower supplies; a small kitchen, which could be too small for some cooking options, but was enough for us; and a cozy living room and front garden ideal for some aperitifs. The available options for guests include a swimming pool with deck chairs, a barbeque (which we didn't have time to use, but we'd have loved to), a private access to the beach, and a bar with also food options. The Frappe Coffee is a must try! There is a mini market within a reasonable walking distance. Overall, everyone was very friendly and attentive, specially Haroula, the place was clean and nice and exactly what we expected. PS, beware of the mosquitos!

Very good value for what it is -- very clean and the listing was what we needed for a brief stay in western Crete.

The apartment was really nice, with a wonderful sea view. The location is just perfect, not far from Platanias; where you can find many restaurants, bars and nightlife. Georgia is a very nice person. With all the staff, they were cheerful and helpful. I strongly recommend this place. L'appartement est très coquet, avec une vue sur la mere, c'est même plus beau que sur les photos. L'ambiance est très agréable. C'est pas loin de Platanias, ouu y'a des restos et des bars sympathiques. Georgia est très agréable et tous le staff est serviable et très hospitaliers. Je vous recommande sincèrement cette résidence.

Absolutely amazing hosts. We had an amazing time there. All the staff were so much welcoming and made the stay simply perfect!!! Will go definitely back again :) Thank you very much for everything

Of our arrival, we were very well received. The apartment is clean, in a very nice complex, and although we stayed only one night, Giogina advised us on what to see in the area. I recommend this address !! Thanks again !

Everything worked very good!

This was a venue that particularly our toddler loved- there was a small play area, games, kids' pool, movies. It was walking distance from the beach, some tavernas, a supermarket, and near a bus stop with regular service to Chania. As the place is a hotel, there are many services available, though most require additional payment. The staff was lovely and helpful, they made our stay! There is a library of books other guests have left available for free. Parking was also available for free.

Me and my partner we had great expectations for this accommodation, but in many ways we had to think again. We paid 10 euro wifi for two days, the ad said free wifi wireless or as "extra service" at a cost of € 3 per day, and when we pointed this out, they told us to contact e-mail for un'indirizzo the complaint, then at the end they returned the difference. The thing though that has most annoyed us was checking out that the reservation was flexible and with no indication time slot !!! Instead came around 9 am in room housekeeping while we were still in bed, and to make matters worse later we were joined by the pool and we are told to collect our belongings because the check-out was at 8. Annoyed we went away and return the keys, they found the excuse that we would have to report the time in which we were going on, which is absolutely absurd since no obligation schedule was indicated. In the same area we were much better in other hotels! Nothing to say about the area beauty and the friendliness of the staff, but to us was incorrect! We will not return.

The appartment is okay, but neighbors were partying all night..We couldn't sleep

Katrin beach apartments are set in a quiet part of Maleme, there is no noise from traffic on the road only the sound of the sea crashing onto the beach, which is very soothing at night. There are great sea views from the balcony with many local tavernas and shops along the paved sea front. There is also a large supermarket on the main road through the village. The apartments are well equiped and was cleaned everyday, the shower is very good with plenty of hot water. Outside the apartments are very well maintained with a good pool for the kids. Pepi the host was very friendly and always available if there was a problem. On arrival the apartment was supplied with a starter pack of food with all the basics to get you going. All in all we had a great holiday.

Small apartment unpretentious, but ideal as a base for visiting the west of the island. Equipped very briefly to spend a long stay (especially in dishes), but you have the breakfast (continental) and possibility to eat simple meals prepared by the owner at very reasonable prices. Homemade pizza with vegetables from the garden. Owner very welcoming, very helpful, bravo for the reception. Very good value for money. Just to review bedding.

Nikos was very friendly and we enjoyed our discussions with him by the pool. The place is very well located and the room was perfect. We wish him well as he only started at the begining of the year but you can already see that he loves his job and has a lot of experience. I recommend it !

Our family of four came with two different planes and we were picked up by Dimitris and his brother Stavros at the airport with two cars. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed. The host arranged a cot for our youngest. The host had also arranged for some food and drinks in the fridge, and the host's mother came with homemade food. This was Greek hospitality at its best, and a great place to spend your vacation. Recommended!

We had a great time during our brief staying in Dimitri’s apartment. The location of the apartment is perfect to enjoy relaxing holidays and to discover the old town of Chania. Τhe old town of Chania is about 20 minutes away by bus and the bus stop is very close to the apartment. The apartment is also close to a large beach that has a lot of cafés, restaurants and tavernas. In the neighborhood there is a grocery store where we could buy local products and prepare our own meals, since we had everything necessary to cook in the kitchen. The apartment was clean and spacious, exactly as it looks in the photos. Dimitri was a great host. He was very helpful and friendly, and he has offered us a basket with fruits, olive oil and other local products upon our arrival. I definitely recommend this place.

Dimitris and his family were great hosts. He and his brother picked us up from the airport, saving us hiring a car or taking a couple of buses (they didn't want accept payment in the end even for petrol). They provided two single beds for the second room and a range of local foods and drinks that kept us going for much of the week. His mother also cooked us a lovely traditional cretan dish one day. When we suggested a couple of things for the kitchen they sorted them out straightaway. The flat itself is perfect for four people. We were a couple with two grown up children. The big terrace with dinning table allowed us to eat outside all the time in the shade with a partial view of the sea and had a hanging rail to drying clothes on. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked fine to keep the temperature down when it got really hot. The bathroom is small but clean with a washing machine and powder provided. The kitchen has all you need for a week or more. There are a couple of TVs which you could probably hook up with an hdmi cable if you wanted. The apartment is on the third floor of a block on the B road that runs near the coast. It is reasonably busy so there is traffic noise, but the advantage is that there are lots of shops and cafes nearby. There is a supermarket just up the road but the mini market opposite is great for fresh fruit and veg in smaller quantities and makes delicious fresh orange juice. Everybody in Maleme was really friendly to us. The beach is a five minute walk down a side street. The beach itself is pebbly but with plenty of free sun loungers around. The water is great - calm on some days then quite big waves on others (not that good for snorkling as no rocks around). The beach front Taverns provide a great place to eat in the day and evening. Maleme is much quieter than the very touristy resorts nearer Chania, which we really appreciated. There are resort type hotels dotted around but it remains a normal village with relatively few tourists even in late July. The bus to Chania takes about 35 mins and goes every 30 mins so it is easy to get to. We went there a couple of times but decided to rent a car for a couple of days to go to some of the great beaches on the far west of the island. There are also some beautiful walks up into the surrounding hills and olive groves in the evening. We really enjoyed our stay and cannot speak highly enough of Dimitris and his family. They were very attentive but also happy to leave us to get on with our holiday. We really recommend them as hosts.

Dimitris and his family were amazing hosts. Dimitris was very good at communicating from the start making sure that the amenities and our preference in terms of bed arrangement were to our liking. Dimitris gave precise information to get to the flat. We got to the flat very easily from the airport as it is on the main coastal road and not far from the motorway. There is also a very convenient parking space with the flat. The flat itself is fantastic: not far from the beach and supermarkets, it is spacious (especially the terrace with its welcoming breeze) - we were a family of 4 and there was plenty of space and room to put away our stuff, well equipped (kitchen and Bathroom) and super clean (spotless I should say) with air conditioning if need be. There is a big fridge where we found fruit (a gift from Dimitris and his family). They also left us amazing local products which we ate/use during our stay. Dimitris and his family were always available if we needed help but were never invasive. The flat has constant hot water, wifi, TV (not that you would want to watch it with so many beautiful things to see) and is very well decorated with items from across the world. We often went to Maleme beach to swim or eat as it is quiet and very convenient. We also took the car around the Island to discover the many places one must visit. The location of the flat is perfect. I thank Dimitris and his family once again for their hospitality (and the lovely food) and, no doubt, we will be back! They also gave us good recommendations on where to go and check-in/check-out was perfect. If you want a calm holiday with access to amazing beaches away from the madding crowds of Malia and Platanias, then this is the place (with a car or there are very convenient buses). All in all, an amazing experience with amazing hosts!

Thank you to Dimitris and his brother for their hospitality and their gifts of welcome. Their well located apartment is nice and corresponds to what is described. We enjoyed our hosts and attention that we were wearing. The stuffed vegetables delicious dish they offered an evening delighted us. Thank you again, you participate in make us love Crete.

The Dimitris apartment is very nice and well equipped! We loved the cleanliness and order! Dimitris and his family were always very kind and helpful with us! The location is convenient to reach any location and is just a few meters from a beautiful beach!

The Apartment is easy accesible, very spacious for two couples with 2 bedrooms, a living room and a big terrace. The Apartment looks even better than in the pictures and is equipped with everything you would need for a pleasant stay. We got a warm welcome present at our early arrival (8am). Dimitri and his family are very friendly and warm people, they even gave us a taste of traditional cretan food. They have been there for us during our entire stay and recommended us places to shop, eat and visit. Overall it was a wonderful experience, our stay at Dimitris Apartment as well as the beautiful beaches and places crete has to offer. We are planning to come back! Dimitris is the best!

The house was very good, clean, comfortable and cool. Dimitris and Stavros were very kind and helpful. In the fridge we found some bottles water and some fruits! On the table there were coffee, bread, honey and other traditional local products. In the bathroom there were some local high quality products. I felt like in my home. His mother offered traditional Cretan boureki! Bravo to all family for great hospitality.

was really niceeeee thanks for everythink

I had a splendid stay here, the studio was very well equipped and an excellent base to explore Western Crete from. The quiet setting (even though without a view) was acceptable, next to what seemed a nursery and close to the connecting main roads. The value was excellent and the very professional service from Stefanie was tops. The beach was within walking distance, onto which I enjoyed a good morning run.

The host canceled this reservation 98 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Employees of the company that has the apartment is polite and willing to provide solutions to any problems. The location of the room is good. Would recommend only for some who interesting for staying
