We had an amazing stay in Thelesi Apartment! The apartment was absolutely perfect — very clean, comfortable, and with beautiful view.

Stefania was a wonderful host — extremely kind, helpful, and always available when we needed anything. She made us feel very welcome from the first moment. Everything was organized perfectly, and the whole experience exceeded our expectations.

Highly recommended! We would definitely love to come back again.

Pros:

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Thelesi Apartments. From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm, welcoming, and genuine. The host, Stefania, was exceptional — she made us feel more like family than guests. Her kindness, hospitality, and attention to detail truly made our vacation extra special.

The apartment itself was spotless and incredibly well maintained. The hygiene and cleanliness were outstanding throughout our entire stay, which made us feel very comfortable and relaxed. Everything was organized perfectly, and you could really see the care that goes into the property.

The atmosphere was peaceful, cozy, and authentic, making it the perfect place to enjoy Crete. We honestly could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you Stefania for your warmth and amazing hospitality — we will definitely come back and highly recommend Thelesi Apartments to everyone visiting Crete!

Pros:

Stefania and the staff made our stay absolutely unforgettable 🌟 without a doubt the best accommodation experience we have ever had! Everything was beyond perfect from the moment we arrived. The apartment was spotless, beautifully maintained, and had absolutely everything we could possibly need during our stay.

What truly made this place special was Stefania herself. She went above and beyond in every possible way, always available, incredibly kind, warm, and genuinely caring. 🩷🙏🏽 No matter what we needed or wanted to know, she was always there to help immediately and made us feel so welcome and comfortable.

You can really feel the love and effort put into this place. This stay was on a completely different level. We honestly did not want to leave and would come back again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommended! A truly perfect stay! 💌 Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Amazing hotel!
Pros:

Being at this unique hotel was an amazing experience! Very comfy rooms with older traditional furniture which we enjoyed so much! Next time we will choose also the renovated part as the owner informed us they will be making a full renovation of the building in 2027! So much potential! We will be happy to come and visit again!

Det er det absolut dejligste sted vi har boet på Kreta omkring kato stalos, og vi har været der mange gange over de sids
Pros:

Thelési er et virkelig skønt sted og Stefania er den bedste vært vi har haft. Det er også virkelig gode senge og hovedpuder, og rar atmosfære! Lejlighederne er meget klassiske, med det mest nødvendige, og der er meget rent og pænt alle steder. Poolen har en perfekt størrelse som børnefamilie med et barn på 5 år, og så ligger den lækreste sandstrand lige nede af vejen (1,5 minut på gåben). Stor anbefaling herfra!

Cons:

Der er lydt ude fra gangen fordi dørene er tynde, så man kan nemt høre når andre gæster kommer og går, men ikke noget man ikke kan holde ud.

Gentilezza e premura a due passi dal lungomare
Pros:

La struttura è a due passi dal mare, bellissimo con spiaggia dorata, e dal lungomare, con tanti negozi e posti in cui mangiare.
Si ha l'indipendenza di un appartamento con il servizio di un hotel (biancheria, pulizie, kit di benvenuto).
La receptionist Stefania è stata disponibilissima e gentilissima.

Cons:

Peccato per la doccia, un po' piccola e con il telo che non stava mai fermo

The best place to stay
Pros:

Stefania deserves all the stars you can give her. Always available for everything you need, super kind and above all, she's really a nice person! Our suite was brand new, really clean, decorated with very good taste and attention to details, it was like a mini-home, and the great terrace with sea view is a plus. The hotel has a pool and is just a few steps away from the beach, with all the restaurants, stores and supermarkets you'll need for a pleasant stay. Any doubt or recommendation, just ask Stefania!
Definetely a great choice for our cretan vacation, the location, services, couldn't recommend more, is like staying with family.
Thank you Stefania!

Cons:

Absolutely nothing.

Everything was very nice
Pros:

In short, everything was very nice. Everything was very clean, the staff was extremely friendly and they had some stuff you could borrow for free to take with you to the beach( umbrellas, swimming goggles, etc.). We had free coffee and tea in our room and they even upgraded our room for free(to a one bedroom apartment). The location is very good too. The beach that's just across the street was the best we found in Agia Marina. They're also right next to a car rental place( which we actually rented a car from and had a very good experience with them too). 10/10, we'll come back for sure

Pros:

Allt bra, finns inget mer att säga. Supersköna sängar, fin stor pool, nära till havet. Rent och fräscht. Toaletten skulle behöva en renovering, av vad jag förstår så finns det i planerna, när jag pratade med hon som äger bygget.
