Wir hatten für 7 Tage ein Standard Apartment mit Meerblick gebucht, als wir ankamen war das Personal sehr hilfsbereit und nett, leider stellte sich heraus dass wir ein falsches Zimmer erhalten haben, wir mussten für eine Nacht in dem Zimmer schlafen, das waren die Studios mit Meerblick die unteren Zimmer die uns optisch nicht zugesagt hatten die oberen Zimmer sind viel schöner, hätten wir dem Personal nichts gesagt wäre es nicht aufgefallen, sie haben sich entschuldigt und waren wirklich bemüht! Die Unterkunft war sauber mit direkter Strandlage besser ging es nicht! Ansonsten der Ort an sich ist ganz ok , nur fanden wir es war ein sehr junges Publikum unterwegs,,, da wir ein Auto hatten haben wir viel im Norden von Kreta sehen können, wer etwas Abseits Abends von der Partymeile weg sein möchte , die drei Dörfer Alt Chersonissos, Piskopiano und Koutouloufari oberhalb von Chersonissos sind sehr hübsch mit tollen Tavernen und Cafés…

Great View, accommodation and location

We stayed last year and rebooked including a superior room this time. The room was fantastic. Good facilities in the apartment (but no microwave). The views out to sea were amazing. Lovely balcony with lounger. Bathroom and shower 5*. We were at the end of the season but still lots to do in the area. Great beach restaurant with sunbeds and Wi-Fi just across the road (Ammos). Lots of restaurants and bars in walking distance. Lady that checked us in/out was very helpful

Perfect location amazing hospitality

We booked our stay at villa Sonia months in advance and right away sonia was so helpful with responding to all my questions about taxis and bus directions. We had also asked her to let us know if a sea view beacame available and she remembered months later and upgraded us. When we arrived we were very early and they let us store our bags in the jewelry store and everyone was so helpful. Our room was amazing and was a perfect location. Right on the beach but away enough from the super busy part of town that is very noisy but close enough that u can walk there is minutes. Despina was so helpful and wonderful. Can’t say enough good things about our stay!!!

Schönes Appartmenthaus direkt am Strand

Der Empfang war herzlich, dazu Häppchen und Getränk sehr aufmerksam. Das Appartment hatte ein großes Schlafzimmer mit großem Balkon direkt auf den Stand, dazu Tisch und Stühle und tollem Ausblick. Wohnzimmer mit Sofa, Essecke und Küchenzeile schön eingerichtet, dazu ein kleiner Balkon nach hinten. Das Bad war klein, aber relativ neu ausgestattet. Die Lage zwischen Stand, Hafen und Partymeile ist sehr angenehm, besonders wenn nicht ganz soviel Trubel herrscht. Insgesamt war es ein erholsamer Aufenthalt!
