Elea

There were neither shampoo nor soap in their containers in the bathroom. The kettle in the kitchen had a layer of calcium that I needed to clean before using it. Other than these, everything was fine. It was very clean property. Swimming pool was also very clean. There is a limited parking space on the street and no where else to park since I’m the road ends at the property. We had to park by blocking other cars but informed the front desk. Overall we are happy with our stay. It would be very convenient for the families with little kids.

We stayed in a one-bedroom apartment for three nights and this place is just fabulous. The apartments are very spacious and quiet, on nice grounds with a pool in the middle. They also have a nice bar and light meals available with delicious chocolate shakes too. The family who runs the business are super friendly and very helpful. We highly recommend. If there is any downside to note and only a small one, it would be the small shower.

Very clean lots of cute cats!

Me and my husband stayed for 10nights, I couldn't fault the place, we stayed on the first floor 1 bedroom apartment very clean and spacious, plenty of sunbeds around the pool, decent size pool, walking distance to restaurants and supermarkets, beaches just down the road. The only thing that annoyed me was the barking dog next door, it barked all hours and was really loud, enough to disturb your sleep.

Loved my stay at Elea. A peaceful place to stay that is a short walk from the beach. Great for families with young children.

We visited in August as a family of 3 in the two bedroom apartment on the first floor. The apartment was spotless and had all the facilities that we required. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. We had a couple of issues which were dealt with immediately. The grounds are constantly maintained and looked after. The pool area was fabulous with plenty of sunbeds in the shade and in the sun. The location was great, away from the main road therefore was quiet but within walking distance of the supermarkets (Synka and Lidl) and many restaurants, our favourites being Oregano's and Golden Bay. You can pay for cleaning during your stay which is €25. The bedrooms have air conditioning which is lovely and cool, the main room doesn't but it never got too hot. The kitchen area is basic, kettle, toaster, microwave and a 2 ring hob but what more do you need? Our apartment had two large bedrooms with plenty of storage and 2 bathrooms, one with a shower cubicle and one with a small bathtub with overhead shower. I have no idea why this place does not have a higher star rating, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We recently had a 9 day stay at these beautiful apartments. Loved the chilled out vibe, it was so relaxing. The owners were very welcoming and helpful, no scramble for sun loungers by the pool. It’s a little off the beaten track but plenty of lovely tavernas within a couple of minutes walk. Several beaches close by also and excellent bus service (No 21) to Chania every 15 minutes until 1 a.m. I did the Samaria gorge hike while there which I was able to book through the hotel, an unforgettable experience. We also loved the resident cats, one of whom took to having a nap in our apartment every day.

What a lovely oasis of calm, away from the busy main road, yet only a short walk to the fabulous local beaches ( easily walked by a 5 year old ). Really lovely beaches with beach cafes/bars. Bus stop a few minutes walk away if you want to go in to Chania. 2 big supermarkets also a few minutes walk away. Everyone on-site was friendly and helpful. Lovely outdoor patio area. Fairly basic interior to the apartment, but certainly nothing to complain about ( in fact added to the charm of the place ). I’d definitely visit again.
