Everything was Perfect!!!

Stayed in May 2024

The sofa bed in the living room is not as comfortable as a real bed, but we slept well enough. Nothing to do with Portela, but the drive to Kastri has a lot of switchbags - if you have kids that tend to get car sick, it's best to be prepared!

We were very happy with our stay! The apartment and the complex are well suited for a family with small kids. With toddlers, it's only a 5-10 minute walk to the beach, and the beach by the harbour offers all the infrastructure a family with small kids might need. Everything in the village (bakery, supermarkets, cafes, restaurants) is in walking distance from Portela Apartments. The apartment is furnished with all the necessities, and the windows all have mosquito netting (important feature!). The kitchen supplies are basic, but the local supermarket has all the basics (olive oil, tea, coffee, etc) also in small quantities, which is great. Stavros was very welcoming and supportive and we were allowed to use the washing machine on the premises. The daily cleaning service was a treat, and the entire complex is very well cared for.

I had a wonderful time in this property. The apartment is beautiful, spacios, well equipped, with a lot of natural light, clean and the view is amazing. I came late in the dark and was meet by the manager who, having found out that I am travelling solo, has invited me to join his friends for drinks to make my stay more cozy in the new area. Thank you for this and your advice to visit the places around. I also received a free upgrade and could not stop taking photos from my balcony :) I did not get to check the swimming pool as I have fallen in love with tamarins beach nearby and was spending all my days there (it is empty in October). One day I also received a call from hotel manager saying they have figs in the local store (SUPER MARKET ΒΑΣΙΛΙΚΗ ΠΕΤΡΑΚΗ) and if they should keep some for me, this was such a beautiful gesture, and in the store they just gave it to me for free. Made my day :) Taverns have great food, the area is full ot tranquility and quite charm. I loved my stay here. The complex area has a lot of trees, bushes and blooming flowers, you feel like in your own small oasis just next to the sea.

the place, the view, the people, we never had such a good time like the last week in Portela

Probably a little to quiet for those with children. Beaches were great and the hotel pool could be a little warmer

Away from all the hustle and bustle of Chania. Great place for relaxion and all the amenities were great.

This year we decided to visit Kastri and Portela Apartments for the second time. This time for as long 2 weeks. The year before we were only there for 7 days. It was definitely worth it. The property is ideal for people looking for peace, sun and an active holiday. We were captivated precisely by the peace and nature. Great beaches, swimming pool and jogging areas. The facility itself is very modern. Stavros has taken care of the comfort of its guests and the highest hygiene of the rooms, surroundings and pool. Also great is the pool bar with a good breakfast, lunch menu, soft and alko drinks, The people working at the facility: Stavros (manager), the bar staff, the cleaning ladies, the gardeners - all are very friendly and helpful. I will be back :) at Portela next year.

Parking was quite full and we were not able to park efficiently.

Value for money place and Resort. We are repeaters for the last 12 years and we really enjoying our stays in Portela.

If only it was easier to walk down to the beach

Lovely property. Clean and tidy well equipped rooms. Pool had amazing views and bar had great service.

The village and location is slightly hilly but this was not a problem for our family.

Quiet unspoilt Greek village and these apartments were the very best quality there. Lovely pool and hosts.

Absolutely nothing at all.

Everything: the welcome message from Stavros, the location, the view, the spacious size of the one bedroom appartement, with seaview balcony, all amenities, friendliness of the staff, the superbly clean swimming pool overseeing the sea, the dedicated parking lot for all visitors, all the thoughtful touches to make our stay a most uniquely memorable one. If given the occasion, we wish to come back! Soon...

Nothing! Was perfect for us. I spent a lot of time looking for the perfect place - this was better than we imagined.

Great sized apartment with everything you need for a comfortable stay. View amazing. Pool fantastic for those who prefer less sand! Beach a short walk away. Access is steep so need good level of mobility. We stayed for 4 weeks and had a medical emergency whilst there. Stavros, his staff and others in the community went way above and beyond expectation to help us out.

It is amazing apartments, really spacious, calm (not hearing neighbours at all, despite hotel was full) and perfectly equipped inside and outside, with big balcony. We had sea and pool view apartments, so the sights were wonderful even staying at hotel! Pool is very clean, and we always got place by it when we needed. Also an advantage is small bar next to it, with some drinks/snacks and tables, also possibilty to get breakfast for small price here. Owner was really helpful and gave all information and advices what we needed for being in Kastri. We really are eager to be back to Kastri again!

The walk to the beach although close in distance is an uphill . You need a car for the area .

We had an amazing time here, the apartment was modern, clean and had a full equipped kitchenette. You can see the Libyan sea from the balcony and enjoy a sky full of stars during the night. There is also a pool and a pool bar where we spent most of our time there.

We are in love with the Portela Apartments! Location, staff, view, room - 10/10 The pool was amazing, but with one small minus - it was overcrowded with noisy children a couple of times. We will recommend portela apartments for incredible vacation :)

property is built on the hillside, it would be nice if there were steps/path down to the seafront. However, fairly easy work along the road and down to seafront with restaurants.

Great location-excellent view.

everything were fantastic, no complaints

kind owner, amazing view, well equipment kitchen, close to beach

The access stairs to the swimming pools need to place non-slip strips, it can be dangerous for children and the elderly, but on the other hand, on certain days, access is given to people not even staying at the hotel, I imagine that paying the entrance fee is that there was no one to supervise the Behavior of these people The current were young people who made a lot of scandal and had no respect for the children who were in the pool with their parents

The views and the attention of the manager

Nothing at all to dislike about Portella Apartments….there were several tavernas a short walk away. All were ok but for us none were outstanding.

The spacious apartment with stunning view over infinity style pool and sea beyond was such a pleasure to spend time in…not just somewhere to sleep. Superb quality of accommodation, pool complete with pool bar but very few guests in September and lovely plants to complete the scene. One of the very best ever from dozens in Greece over many years.

if you stay in an apartment close to the pool it can get loud because of kids, just a heads up! we didn‘t have that problem though

very friendly staff, delicious food and drinks at the bar, spacious and clean apartments, no noise
