per chi cerca una struttura dove far riposare la mente, immersa nel verde e nei suoni della natura.
Pros:

la cura delle camere, delle zone comuni e del verde. colazione abbondante forse poco varia. staff super gentile e disponibile.

Cons:

presenza di gatti, un po malconci che si avvicinavano durante i pasti..

Gastvrij in een groene omgeving met schitterende vergezichten
Pros:

Doen! Als je gaat voor de locatie, gastvrijheid, vergezichten, lekker uitgebreid ontbijten, grote tuin met zitjes, zwembad met uitzicht, kleinschalig (10 kamers), ‘s avonds kunnen blijven dineren, niet stoort aan oubollig interieur, uniek ontbijt terras met 360 graden uitzicht, lekkere bedden en midden in de olijfbomen omgeving.
Extra’s
- twee wijnproeverijen in de buurt (3 minuten rijden) Patriotis winery (let op beperkte openingstijden) en de meer bekende Karavitakis Winery (proef de luxe wijnen! en reserveren in het seizoen)
- Deliana‑kloof naar Mesavlia - een korte, groene en relatief rustige kloofwandeling. Je kan heen en terug lopen. Wij hadden onze auto gezet bij Deliana. Ongeveer 20 minuten vanaf hotel. En nee wij zijn geen ervaren lopers/sporters.
- Gebruik de app: chaniatrails.gr. Het staat in het Grieks maar mijn iPhone zette de tekst om in onze taal. Hier vind je alle trails van Kreta met filters wat betreft niveau, lengte en tijdsduur. Ook het kaartje kan je downloaden. Al wordt de route ter plekke ook heel goed aangegeven.
- Bezoek de stranden aan de westkust: Elafonissi, Balos en Falasarna. Verrassende zandstranden met mooi helder zeewater.
- Loop bij Elofonassi de geel zwarte klim en klauter wandelroute langs de kust richting het zuid/westen. Leuk met kinderen die onderweg de geel/zwarte strepen moeten zoeken voor de juiste route.
- Ga eten bij Eleas Thea, een geweldig Grieks restaurant met schitterend uitzicht, zeer vriendelijk en gastvrij personeel en lekker betaalbaar eten. 8 minuten rijden vanaf het hotel.

Cons:

Elk hotel heeft zijn eigen karakter. Dat is juist de charme waar je voor moet gaan.

An unforgettable stay
Pros:

The Elia Hotel and Spa is a special, wonderfully welcoming place. Our room was huge with a very generous covered terrace. There was very wide choice of food for breakfast, including a number of local products. We happened to be there on Easter Sunday when, instead of the normal evening meal, a magnificent feast was offered, at which we were joined by our hosts.
We used the swimming pool (though it was a little cold in April). There were also details of local walks.

Pros:

we had a a great time in this hotel. the room was cozy, clean and had everything you need. also every room has a private seating area outside underneath the olive trees. we also had dinner at the location and the food was amazing. we also used the pool frequently. the pool was always clean, had a great size and the view was amazing.
They offered very nice options for breakfast. One of the employees also cooked at night and she was so kind and welcoming. she truly cared about our experience at the hotel.

Cons:

the owner of the property is not the friendliest person. we always felt a bit judged and she did not seem very engaged in running the business.

Hôtel très charmant et typique, isolé et au calme
Pros:

Très bel hôtel, situé dans les terres au Nord Ouest de la Crète. Une voiture est indispensable pour se rendre sur place.
Le personnel est aux petits soins, l'hôtel est très charmant, les chambres spacieuses.
Le plus est la piscine avec une formidable vue et qui plus est très peu fréquentée lors de notre séjour.

Cons:

Localisation : il est nécessaire de faire a minima 20 minutes de voiture pour rejoindre le premier point d'intérêt.
Tout le reste était impeccable.

Pros:

Fatastische Aussicht. Tolle Zimmer, super Frühstück. Auch der Pool ist groß und generell ist es eine sehr großzügige Anlage mit vielen kleinen, gemütlichen Sitzecken. Kleines Minus: sehr dünne Wände sodass ich mal einen Nachbar auf Toilette sitzen gehört hab 😬
