Sistemazione adatta a chi cerca un posto tranquillo e lontano dal caos cittadino. Non è però troppo lontano dal centro, quindi è perfetto per chi si sposta in macchina. L'appartamento è spazioso e pulito. Ogni giorno la mamma di Dimitrios porta colazione, frutta fresca, altre cose da mangiare e sistema la camera. Basta essere abituati al gallo che dà la sveglia alla mattina!

A quiet place to stay. The apartment is simple and spacious, in a small village on the farm of the host's parents, just 5 mins by car from Platanias. Our host and his mother were delightful: Dimitrios was helpful with tips of places to visit while his mother provided us with delicious fresh farm produce. Our stay was a true insight to the real Crete which ordinarily as tourists you would not see. A car is advisable and in 5 mins you are in the hustle and bustle of Platanias.....giving you the best of both worlds! Our stay ended with an invitation to join our hosts for a family celebration. It was the perfect location for us. Thank you both...we will definitely come again on a future trip to Crete.

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.

Dimitrios was very nice and responsive, and his house was great! It was clean and comfortable, and we really enjoyed being close to the animals (dogs and goats and chickens if you want to see them!). He was very flexible with our arrival time and we would certainly rent from him again!

Dimitrios hat uns am Lidl-Parkplatz abgeholt und uns das Apartment gezeigt. Er hat sich fürsorglich um uns gekümmert und dafür gesorgt, dass wir in einem Gym trainieren konnten. Die Mutter von Dimitrios war immer super nett und hilfsbereit! Als wir ankamen, standen schon leckere Orangen und andere Früchte im Apartment. Ab und an gab es auch eine Kleinigkeit zu naschen als Überraschung :-) Alles in Allem ein Super Aufenthalt in West Kreta. Immer wieder gerne...

Second year in Dimitrios house and it was still a pleasure. Dimitrios is a very helpful host, the surroundings are beautiful and you will taste excellent typical cretan food.

Dimitros, our host was charming, welcoming and helpful. Very kind fruit and cheese was provided. However, we must be honest we did not stay in Stavros as he told us shortly before arriving that it was not available, we did not recieve the sea views promised. He did provide us with an alternative which he said was more expensive and at no extra cost. The property was a 2 floor apartment set in and old Monestary off Splantiza Square. At first we were worried about the location but it turns out we had nothing to worry about. We had a fabulous stay.!!!!!So there is no double bed....who cares that it's just two singles joined together. So the monestary bells go off every hour and every half hour, this added to the charm and character of the old town way of life and soon drowned out by the complimentary raki(alcohol) you receive after meals. No seriously, after a little bit it stops being irritating. Midnight is the worse chiming 12 times. All this can be overlooked for what the location offered. We were told to pay 10euro per night extra after we arrived for air conditioning, we chose not to.....What a mistake please Do it!!! 40degree heat with no fan or AC is virtually impossible. We would have preferred knowing of the additional cost before we arrived, that said 3 days without aircon was madness it was needed, even though we only stayed in the property at night. The property was cleaned to a high standard. Nothing required really as various restaurants literally on the door step. We went to Lafamilia for breakfast and would go again. Dimitros told us what sights to visit and they were every bit as great as he said they'd be. So we had a few hiccups but best time ever. The locals were fabulous and welcoming every last one of them. This is where the westernised and traditional, old and new meets in the closet of Narnia. We would return again. Amazing! We wished we had longer to see Chania

Dimitrios et sa maman sont adorables, accueillants et chaleureux. Le logement n'est en revanche peut être pas adapté à un séjour hors de la saison estivale.

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.

An idyllic place among the cretan countryside, with easy car access to all the spots among the western side of Crete. The room is decorated in a very nice way, the outside patio is shaded in the morning, the dog is the most friendly, the hosts are very hospitable persons. With Tanja's husband being a local with great love for its home place you will have a access to a greater knowledge of the area that you will be able to use.

Tanja ist eine geniale Gastgeberin, die einem jeden Wunsch von den Augen abliest. Sie ist eine kundige Fremdenführerin und kann jede Menge Tipps im Hinblick auf Strände, Restaurants, Sehenswürdig-keiten und Geschäfte geben. Das Appartment ist klar und praktisch eingerichtet, eine Terrasse und ein idyllischer Gartenbereich bieten herrliche Möglichkeiten, die kretische Luft und Sonne zu geniessen. Wer an den Strand möchte, hat es nicht weit: 5 Minuten mit dem Auto und Sie sind an einem keineswegs überlaufenen Kiessandstrand mit reizvoller Taverna. Gerne wieder.

tanja's place is beautiful! located in a quiet village, a world away from the busy strip which is only a couple Km down the road. It's a lovely escape. Tanja made us feel very welcome with beer wine, bread oranges ham etc all waiting for us on arrival. Tanja also maintained good contact before we arrived and gave us good advice on how to get there. Once there, she shared her knowledge of the island to help us with our plans in different parts of Crete. The accommodation itself has everything you would need to stay for as long as you want! We were sad to leave such a great space. The only thing is you need a car to really enjoy the area. Place is well designed and well kept and very comfortable to spend time in. It feels very safe and private but you also feel welcome to seek any advice from Tanja and her family next door when needed! Thank you!

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 welcomed us very warmly and we spent a very nice time in villa Nektarios. We came with our baby girl and she prepared everything for our stay. It is well located to discover west Creta. The flat is pleasant (though the bathroom needs a little time of adaptation), and the garden/terrasse are just amazing. We really enjoyed our stay.

The host canceled this reservation 88 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

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 enjoyed this home and this area tremendously. Menelaos's mother greeted us upon arrival with the hospitality of offering food and drink which was appreciated. Menelaos did everything possible in order for our stay to be enjoyable. He was always available for questions and responded quickly during our stay. This is an area on the countryside but it is a short 10 minute drive to the main areas like Platanias. The property was scenic and well maintained. There is no air conditioning so the fans are a great addition plus it is safe enough to sleep with the windows open. I would recommend this home if looking for a quite countryside place plus close enough to the action. Thank you to Menelaos.

Das Haus ist sehr stilvoll umgebaut& eingerichtet. Es hat uns hier sehr gut gefallen! Viel Ruhe... wir können es sehr empfehlen.

Menelaos's place is great ! Clean and tidy, located in a very quiet area, surrounded by nature. We enjoyed every minute of our family meals in the front yard and loved the breeze of the wind and fresh air during the hot nights. Menelaos and his parents made our stay much easier and provided very useful tips. We were welcomed with some traditional greek food and drinks which we loved. If you plan to visit Crete don't miss out this place !

Menelaos and his family are very kind! the house is located in a great spot, it is clean and big. I hope to return as soon as possible!

We had a wonderfully relaxing stay at Menelaos' lovely cottage just on the outskirts of Sirili, a village just 15 mins from Chania town by car. The house can easily cater to 8 people (best for two families of 4) and has a fully equipped kitchen (even an outdoor barbecue!) and a washing machine for laundry. The place is ideal for a long and tranquil vacation. It is in a very strategic location for excursions within the Chania perfecture. Menelaos' and his parents were extremely helpful and generous people. We will see you next year Menelaos. Thank you for everything.

Io e la mia compagna avevamo ottime aspettative su questo alloggio, ma per molti aspetti abbiamo dovuto ricrederci. Abbiamo pagato 10 euro il wifi per due giorni, sull'annuncio diceva free wifi wireless oppure come "servizio extra" al costo di 3 euro al giorno, e quando lo abbiamo fatto notare, ci hanno detto di contattare un'indirizzo e-mail per la lamentela, poi alla fine ci hanno restituito la differenza. La cosa però che maggiormente ci ha infastiditi é stato il check-out che sulla prenotazione era flessibile e senza alcuna indicazione sulla fascia oraria!!! Invece intorno alle 9 sono entrate in camera le donne delle pulizie mentre eravamo ancora a letto, e come se non bastasse più tardi siamo stati raggiunti in piscina e ci é stato detto di raccogliere le nostre cose perché il check-out era alle 8. Infastiditi siamo andati via e nel riconsegnare le chiavi, hanno trovato la scusa che avremmo dovuto comunicare l'ora in cui saremmo andati via, cosa assolutamente assurda dato che nessun obbligo orario era indicato. Nella stessa zona siamo stati molto meglio in altri alberghi! Nulla da dire sulla bellezza dell'alloggio e sulla gentilezza del personale, ma nei nostri confronti sono stati scorretti! Non torneremo.

Des nôtre arrivée, nous avons été très bien reçu. L'appartement est propre, dans un complexe très sympa, et bien que nous soyons restés qu'une seule nuit, Giogina nous a conseillé sur les choses à voir dans la région. Je recommande cette adresse !! Merci encore !

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

Beautiful hotel, Although we had a had time finding it since on Airbnb it did not say it the name of the hotel which is futura hotel, so the address was a little confusing. Once we arrived the gentleman that dealt with us was very unwelcoming and not good customer service! We stayed three night and the two last night were great, although wifi was not free that was a little disappointing but there was plenty restaurants with free wifi near by. And the hotel bartender was very nice and helped us with anything we needed. The breakfast buffet was worth it! Lots to choose from. The last day I met the Giorgina and she was very present!!

Everything worked very good!

C'est un très joli endroit , à découvrir.Une équipe vraiment trés sympathique, et pleine d humour.

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.

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

Prima ontvangst en met de busstop voor de deur makkelijk naar Chania en dan naar samaria George Goede prijs-kwaliteitverhouding Locatie tegenover minimarket

Prachtig, liefelijk en intiem appartementencomplex met heerlijk zwembad. Kamers waren ruim genoeg en de badkamer was ook ok. Nadeel is de afzuigkap in de keuken, ik ben slechts 163 cm, maar stootte telkens mijn hoofd tegen de punt.

We hadden een zeer leuke tijd in Kreta. Zon, zee en bergen. Seashell was voor ons een zeer goede plek om te verblijven. Sara en haar team deden al het mogelijke om je bij te staan. In zijn prijsklasse top!

Seashell Apartments is located 17 kilometers from the port of Chania, with easy public transportation. We had an amazing stay with Sara at the apartments and by the end of the trip we didnt want to leave. The pool was so much fun (especially at night) and we would love to stay with Sara again in the future.

Super séjour dans un appartement en bord de piscine et une vue agréable sur le lever de soleil. Sara est sympathique et arrangeante. Seul point négatif, la wifi ne passe pas dans l'appartement, il faut aller près de la piscine pour être connecté.

Well, I just spent another week at Sara's and it was a pleasant revisit. There isn't much more to add from my last comment, other than Coockie now has a Buddy ... ;-) Actually got the chance to take Coockie and Buddy for a walk, turned out it was the other way around - they took us for a walk, and it was a nice long walk along the beach. Oh-yeah, the WiFi has improved, but still best in the pool area. Thanks for having us Sara, we really enjoyed the stay, and we might be back for more!

Everything was ok. The swimming pool was cool. we had a good time in the flat

Отличное место, где мы с удовольствием провели неделю нашего отпуска на Крите. Seyshells Apartments - это небольшие комнаты со встроенной кухней и душевой. Перед входом есть столик для завтрака и ужина на свежем воздухе. Нам понравилось жилье Сары, т.к. было все необходимое под рукой и регулярно проводилась уборка. Мы выбрали это жилье как бюджетный вариант и остались очень довольны. Однозначно рекомендую! По-поводу локации: если есть автомобиль, то проблем совсем нет, но если его нет, то в метрах 50 есть автобусная остановка. До пляжа пешком минут 10. Рядом так же есть мини супермаркет, километрах в 2-х есть супермаркет INKA, где собственно и закупались. Отдельный привет коту Henry, который дополнил уют нашего пребывания и помогал справляться с завтраком и ужином)) P.S. По всем вопросам обращайтесь к Саре и она вам с удовольствием поможет! Но всегда лучше звонить! смс видимо плохо летают по острову))

Nous avons passé un très beau moment dans cet appartement. Nous ne trouvons aucun point négatif. La localisation, quoique difficile à trouver, est idéale pour se tenir loin du bruit de la ville. La vue est magnifique! Les hôtes sont très sympathiques, de bons conseils et surtout très généreux. N'achetez rien pour votre déjeuner; plusieurs produits fait maison vous attendent déjà dans le frigo et sont délicieux! ( mention spéciales aux confitures et au jus d'orange !! ) Merci énormément pour ces quelques nuits reposantes et votre temps !

I won't write plenty of sentences 'cuz few are enough. It was my best hollyday ever. Not because of the land wich is surely wonderful,not because of the cretans who are really welcoming. No it was thanks to Sofia,Theo,and Sofia's father. Honestly they're probably the nicest and kindest people I've ever seen. I mean don't change anything,everything was perfect. Thanks again for that wonderful trip.

Best AirBnb ever!! Sofia's home and hospitality was unparalleled. The flat was clean, very homely and full of little attentions (look in the fridge!). She is a lovely person who made us feel at home straight and was definitely one of the highlights of our time in Crete :) home to go back soon, I miss the dogs already!

Back home. We have to declare: it's cold, 0°C, relating to temperature and human company. No comparison to our vacation in Crete. So it's easy to remember the cretan warmth, around 20°C in November, and the heartiness of our hosts. We are missing them and in the morning the lovely singing of their neighbour's rooster. Sofia and Theo were very helpful and generous. At all time they gave us hints for our explorations and hikes. At least we don't want to forget to thank them, Theo's father and their neighbour for fruits, vegetables, eggs and not at least the delicious olive oil. Their cottage with its great view will always have a magnetic effect to us to come back again and visit Sofia and Theo for one more time. (Extra special thank you to the both cretan hikers which have found the lens cap of my camera and positioned it on the roof of our car.)

Sofia et Teo nous ont accueillis à bras ouverts dans leur belle maison, en pleine nature crétoise. C'est un couple formidable, on les a adoré au point qu'on espère sincèrement garder contact avec eux. Dans le logement, tout était nickel, très propre, on n'a manqué de rien. Tout est très confortable et pratique. Le logement est spacieux, et c'est sans parler de la vue magnifique sur les montagnes, et du calme qui règne dans le coin. Bref, on à été conquis par ce lieu et par Sofia et Teo, et on le recommande à tous ceux qui souhaitent passer leurs vacances dans un petit havre de paix très convivial.

Oh, gosh - where can we start?! Sofia and Theo were absolutely AMAZING hosts. This is the best BNB experience we've ever had! They were both helpful with everything, we got so many good recommendations for restaurants, places to visit, excursions, beaches to visit (definitely go to Elafonisi!) Sofia also helped us with checking bus/boat schedules. They have a wonderful garden and orchards at their house, from which Sofia collected a ton of fresh veggies for our salads! Also fresh oranges for orange juice! The apartment is fully equipped, well decorated and stocked with everything in the kitchen that you need to prepare meals on your own. It was difficult to leave Hawk Hill and we hope to come back again some day :)

We spent a very nice time at Sophia apartment. All is very clean and comfortable. It's a lovely apartment, very well equipped, with all the things you need. We also found some local products (tomato, honey, oil..) Thanks for these very good things! The area is quiet with a wonderful view on the valley. It's a great place to explore the West Coast and Chania. Sophia and Theo are very nice people and we thank them for the very friendly Welcome. We recommend this all place for all the people who look for a quiet place, good products and over all to meet very nice people. Thank Sophia and Theo for the great time spent at Hawk Hill Cottage.

Super séjour chez Sofia et Téo,très bel appartement calme et bien équipé, l'accueil fut chaleureux et Sofia très attentionnée, encore merci pour le miel, les confitures et les oranges délicieuses à presser pour le petit déjeuner.

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 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!

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.

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!
