Toll 👍 10/10
Pros:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ein echtes Zuhause in der Fremde – Perfektion pur!
Wer viel unterwegs ist, weiß, wie schwer es ist, ein Hotel zu finden, das sich nicht nach „Hotel“ anfühlt. Hier ist genau das gelungen: Man kommt an und fühlt sich sofort wie zu Hause. Die Besitzer sind die herzlichsten Gastgeber, die man sich vorstellen kann – super nett und sie machen wirklich alles möglich, was man sich wünscht.

Besonders hervorheben muss man auch die Sauberkeit: Ich bin oft gereist, aber so ein perfekt sauberes Zimmer habe ich noch nie erlebt. Vielen Dank für diesen tollen Aufenthalt, wir kommen definitiv wieder!

Amazing. We will be back very soon! Thank you for making our stay magical
Pros:

This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel and It is the best hotel I have ever stayed at. The room, the facilities, the staff, everything is perfect. Such a beautiful location, quiet and the views are nothing I have seen before. So relaxing, compared to other parts of the island which are packed and busy. The owner made such an effort for my birthday, including a card and some candles, which I never expected and appreciated so much! I will 100% be back again, this is one of those hotels you continue to visit forever.

Cons:

Some may have trouble due to the location, however, a car is not needed if you prefer to support local businesses and food which is quality, a 10 minute walk with a shop and beach, we recommend ambrosa tavern, but there are quite a few to choose from. Also, taxis are available on the freenow app and if splitting it’s not expensive at all. However, hiring a car is an easy process to do too.

Pros:

We booked the deluxe double room with a sea view for our first night after landing at Heraklion Airport, before heading to the south of Crete. It was the perfect choice. The room was comfortable and inviting, and waking up to that sea view was fantastic. We loved the amenities, like the honey-based body care products. We checked out feeling fully recharged and ready for our trip.

Pros:

Tolle Gastgeberin/Besitzerin - herzlich, hilfsbereit, unauffällig.
Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Jacuzzi und Meerblick - traumhaft. Der Ausblick unschlagbar Hatten ursprünglich ein anderes Zimmer gebucht und konnten unkompliziert upgraden und Late Check Out zum fairen Preis buchen.
Gleich nebenan im Nachbarhotel konnten wir die Poollandschaft mitbenutzen - gegen Verzehr an der Bar von 10 Euro/Person.

Liegt aktuell noch in der Einflugschneise der Flughafens - wir habens geliebt. Spätestens nächstes Jahr hat das ein Ende, wenn der neue Flughafen eröffnet wird.

Restaurants sind fußläufig erreichbar (ca.15min).
Ein kleiner Strand mit Liegen, Sonnenschirmen und Imbisswagen ist 3min entfernt.
Wir würden wiederkommen - absolut empfehlenswertes kleines Hotel.
