Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen. Ein Problem mit der Klimaanlage wurde sehr schnell behoben. Insgesamt kann man dort einen sehr entspannten Urlaub verbringen. Mehrere Strände sind zu Fuß erreichbar. Nach Chania City fahren regelmäßig Busse. Wir sind mehrere Male zu Fuß am Strand hin gelaufen. Negativ war nur das gelegentliche Hundegebell von den Nachbargrundstücken.
Property was located in small complex with others. Had extremely enjoyable stay. People managing the place very warm and welcoming. Superb location within walking distance to 3 beaches, local restaurants and bus stop with regular service into Chania town. Also car rental and supermarkets close by. Car rental place also sold excursions and we had a lovely two days out visiting water park and also cruise to ballos and gramvousa islands. If you are a cat lover then you may also get visited by the local cats who stay there also. Lovely pool which we used on many occasions.
Small village on the sea front with few restaurants, supermarkets, car rental facilities.!!!Four!!! magnificent beaches within few min walk. Apartment was clean enough, small kitchen for light cooking did the job when too lazy to go out)) Swimming pool very clean, lovely little bar by the pool, owners very friendly and helpful.Very enjoyable stay overall)

Freundliche Gastgeber aber Bilder entsprechen nicht der Realität
Wir waren zu viert als Familie im August 2018 in der Anlage untergebracht. Die Angestellten waren immer sehr bemüht alles zu tun was in Ihrer Macht steht. Leider war es so ,das die Ferienwohnungen (wir mußten einmal umziehen) schon in die Jahre gekommen ist und dringend eine ordentliche Renovierung innen und außen notwendig wäre. Gerade im sanitären Bereich wäre dies sehr wichtig , da sich in den Fugen sehr viel Schmutz gesammelt hat. Wenn das noch in Ordnung gebracht wird , wäre der Preis auch gerechtfertigt. Auch wäre es gut wenn im Preis ein Wäschewechsel innerhalb von 2 Wochen inklusive wäre.

Fantastiskt bra läge och trevligt boende!
Välskött anläggning med mycket serviceinriktad personal som varmt rekommenderas. Lägenheterna har det man behöver inkl. lakan och handdukar. Ligger i ett lugnt och avskärmat läge med härliga olivträd i trädgården med en mycket bra och fräsch pool. Finns även en liten servering. Ett antal huskatter finns också. Bilderna speglar väl hur det ser ut.
Det är 5-10 min promenad ner till stranden, eller rättare sagt 3-4 olika stränder att välja på. Mycket fin och barnvänlig sand. Nere vid stränderna ligger även ett antal restauranger att välja mellan.
Det är gångavstånd till YNKA supermarket och Lidl ligger bredvid. 15 min med buss 21 in till Chania (€1.20/resa).

Beautiful, relaxing place. Perfect location close to beach, park, restaurants and shops.
Just had a wonderful two weeks at Elea Apartments with my family. Apartments were very spacious and clean. My two girls 7 and 5 loved the garden and pool. Beach and park are just 5 mins away with woodland walks to three other beaches. Good bus route to Chania where you can easily spend a day or two walking around the old town and harbour. Owners and staff very helpful with information and will provide delicious home cooked food. Would definitely like to return again next year.

Fantastic Elea
We stayed for two weeks in July, Elea was everything it promised. The owners and staff were extremely friendly and helpful in every way. Very child friendly pool and idyllic beaches nearby. Plenty of local restaurants but Chania harbour is a must for evening meals and a walk.

Beautiful nice and quite village 7 min by foot away from 3 beautiful beaches. Very good.
Landlord is super nice and friendly - he giuded us by phone to our flat. Indicated by a welcome sign it was easy to find.

Within another five min to walk there are good restaurants and a big creten supermarket.Pool and all the surounding is very, very well kept and beautiful green. Good taverna in middle of the holiday village.
For sure we will come back again.

correct
Correct mais sans plus. Résidence calme. La propreté laissait cependant à désirer. Les personnes de la réception sont accueillantes. Les ustensiles de cuisine sont le strict minimum.
La piscine nous a surpris : pas de pédiluve, pas de douche avant d'entrer dans la piscine, même si elle est nettoyée, une douche à proximité ne serait pas du luxe.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 March 2020
Dear Muriel,
We would like to thank you for your review as it helps us to enhance our accommodation quality. However, we would like to respond to your comments. More specifically, the kitchen of our house is fully equipped so that the guests can prepare their own meals. As for the shower outside the swimming pool, of course there is one. Actually, there are two separate showers in a small alley next to the swimming pool. If we had been asked, we would have shown you where they are.
Kind regards,
George Patsoumadakis

Super, einfach nur Super
Wir haben zu fünft in einem Apartment gewohnt.
Die Anlage ist sauber, der Pool schön und vorallem Kindersicher...
Die Zimmer sind ausreichend, auf einem guten Stand, Küche war ganz gut ausgerüstet...
Ein kleiner Herd wäre noch schön gewesen.
Das WLan ist nur von Früh bis Nachmittag zu gebrauchen aber wer braucht das wenn man sich das Meer anschauen kann?😉
Die Besitzer sind sehr nett und unglaublich Hilfsbereit.
Kann es wirklich sehr weiterempfehlen.

Schöner Familienurlaub mit sehr freundlicher Betreuung vor Ort
Schöne Anlage mit sehr netten Ansprechpartnern vor Ort und tollem Service. Super für kleine Kinder. Appartments sind zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Kochnische eher klein, aber dafür kann man in der Bar/Restaurant gute griechiesche Hausmannskost essen. Da lohnt ein kochen nicht. Lediglich in den Wohnungen war es im April ohne richtige Heizung recht frisch.

parfait
Tout d'abord: c'est la première fois que je mets un commentaire pour exprimer ma satisfaction mais là il le mérite vraiment. Endroit parfait, nous étions avec mon fils de 7 ans. L'endroit est très bien entretenu, propre et surtout une gentillesse et disponibilité de Gorges et Irini. La délicatesse d'Irini, la piscine avec des ballons, matelas gonflable....En plus, la crique à 2 minutes de là avec de l'ombre. Chania centre ville proche. Elle réserve pour vous des excursions "Balos" par exemple et vous donne des noms de restaurant ou la cuisine crétoise est bonne. Un endroit idéal pour des vacances merveilleuses.
Juste un grand merci à vous et à bientôt.

Very comfortable and great pool
ELEA is a charming, comfortable and quiet destination for a relaxing holiday in beautiful Crete. It consists of 16 or so apartments surrounding a good-sized pool, which is fringed by grass and shaded by olive trees.
The apartments are bright and well-equipped, with a fantastic fridge (so helpful in July weather!) as well as 2-ring hob, toaster, kettle and microwave. My family of 3 adults and 2 kids had one of the larger 3 room units (2 separate bedrooms and a living room) which was very comfortable and had a large balcony. Only the main bedroom had air-conditioning though. The apartments are serviced every three days as promised by the efficient and friendly cleaning staff.
The location is great, in a quiet area about 4km west of Chania. There are 3 smallish but very good beaches nearby (10 mins walk) - all are sandy and very sheltered for excellent swimming with life guards in attendance. No water sports available though - if that's your thing you'll need to travel to one of the larger beaches a few Km away.
ELEA is a family-run business and the staff are all extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. They really helped to make our stay as good as it could be. We'll definitely be going back next year!
