Staff is very polite, exceptional, in every department very nice people:-) Thanks! Lovely check-in and out. Let us check in earlier and use lunch and on departure we could extend check out to 18.00h just for 10€ and could use the lunch buffet too, so that was appreciated a lot since we had evening flight. Location is good close to many bars restaurants and shops, and it is relaxing. No too busy (travelled first week of september) Nice pool for swimming and nice palms around hotel.”

“We have been going to Bueno for 15 years. You cannot get a friendlier place. Many people return every year and we have met some lovely people. Mainly Dutch but also British. You arrive as strangers but leave as friends! The hotel is 3 star and the owners have been upgrading the rooms with new kitchens and bathrooms. Some are still to be done over the coming winter. The hotel is set in motakis village. This is a cul de sac down to the beach, consisting of 4 hotels run by different members of family. There are pools in Bueno and Trefon and a pool bar at the beach. This year has seen the opening of Atermoto, a boutique spa hotel. We will definately be going back next year.”

“Visited this property last year so we knew what to expect: hospitality and warm welcoming, Just as last summer we got lovely bonus from hostess (fresh eggs from hens of their own house farm and figs from their garden), just as last time had our room cleaned and linen changed on a daily basis. My son apreciated a new addition to the kids playground area: a trampolino and a slide! Amazing value for family breaks. Bus tours and cars for hire near by. Restaurants, supermarket and Lidl are nearby butchers and bakery too. Close to Rethymno town yet way more quiet to sleep at nights.”

Located in Platanes within 200 metres from the beach, Oliv Apartments features an outdoor pool with sun terrace and a well-tended garden.
“Very nice, quiet area but from the other hand very close to local facilities (shops, car rentals, restaurants, tavern, fast food, beach, supermarkets and bus stops). Clean swimming pool, grass in well condition, clean and well facilitated rooms (with kitchen) including air condition. Room with view @swimming pool. Helpful and supportive owner and his wife (best regards). Small, but enough parking space for four cars (if anyone borrow from car rental for longer period). It is safer to take small/economy cars instead of big, because street is narrow (old buildings) in one place on the way to apartments, this is no problem, rather atraction ;).”

Featuring a patio with pool views, a seasonal outdoor swimming pool and a terrace, House Elea can be found in Platanes, close to Platanes Beach and less than 1 km from Rethymno Beach.
“We stayed at the House Elea apartments from September 20 to October 4, 2019. We were very impressed with the rest in this hospitable house. The cottage stands in the garden among olive trees. There are orange, lemon and pomegranate trees. The house is cool, the windows are always open. You can sit in the garden in front of the house, sunbathe, swim in the small pool. The owners monitor the cleanliness in front of the house and in the pool. The owners are very sociable, intelligent people. Katerina and her husband Michalis helped us with information, offered us delicious olive oil, which they themselves produce from olives in their garden, eggs from their chickens, vegetables and fruits from their garden. Everything is fresh and delicious. There is everything you need in the house. A washing machine, hairdryer, kettle, air conditioning, fans in each room that create coolness. And many more appliances, such as a toaster, etc. The house also has a stove on which we cooked when we did not want to go to a restaurant. In front of the house there is a barbecue for cooking meat or vegetables on the grill. Your business is only to buy products and coals that are sold by the butcher. Shops, cafes, restaurants are located near the cottage. The impression is that you live as if apart from people, which I like. No one bothers, does not see you. But at the same time, you are in the city and everything you need is at your fingertips. When we asked the hosts to extend our stay for several hours, as the plane was late in the evening and it was necessary to spend 6-7 hours in a clean cool room, we were not refused. Many thanks to them for this. On the day of departure there was a strong wind carrying sand, from which we hid in a hospitable house. Now it is snowing and raining in our suburbs and we can’t even believe that 2 days ago we went swimming in the pool, drove by car through the mountains and ate all sorts of goodies. We are very pleased with the stay at House Elea”

Set 6 km from Historical and Folk Art Museum in Réthymno Town, this villa features a garden with a seasonal outdoor pool and a barbecue. The air-conditioned unit is 1 km from the nearest beach.
“The villa was superb, just as advertised. Really comfortable with a lovely garden and good sized pool for our 2 teenage boys, plus long enough for a swim. The villa is also very private so you feel very much secluded which makes things even more relaxing. The best thing was Lily and George who were great hosts and made us feel so welcome and looked after. Lily was so kind with her food treats and so helpful, particularly in meeting us on our arrival at 3.00 in the morning! We’d love to visit again.”

“We have just spent the best 10 days at Maria’s villa. The villa is spotlessly clean and has everything you could want for on holiday. We have had many villa holidays and this surpasses every one. It felt like staying in a 5 star hotel with Maria’s attention to detail and the extras she provided like a filled fridge and the treats she regularly bought to us. Thank you Maria, see you next year.”
