We stayed in the studio on the ground floor. The room is spacious with a complete kitchen, table and wardrobe. The kitchen has all the essentials for a 1 week stay. The bathroom is also a good size and the shower is good. The AC works great! The pool is the best part about this place. It was very clean and large, with plenty of sunbeds around it. We loved hanging out there in the mornings, soo relaxing! The staff is very friendly and kind, super helpful, could not ask for better! The location is also very nice, 4 minutes from two large supermarkets, less then 10 minutes from the beach and 15-20 min from Chania old town depending on the traffic!

We stayed for 1 week (from Saturday to Saturday) and only got one cleaning (Tuesday). We could have used some fresh towels and linen at least one more time. Also the floor can get quite dirty with sand from the beach so would be nice to have it cleaned more often. The garbage can in the room was very small, like a bathroom bin, so we would need to have extra garbage plastic bags laying around. Would be good to have a larger bin. The WiFi really doesn't work great. We often couldn't get any signal in our studio. If you plan to work or do anything requiring WiFi connection bring your own.

Beautiful place all sourrounded by olive trees, flours and a great swimming pool. Apartament also very good with terraces and nice view.

1. Before our (late) arrival we tried to comunicate with the apartment without success. They did not answer to our message in booking. However, when we arrive we found clear messages/instructions to reach our apartment. It would have been great to receive a reply to our message to confirm that everything was ok. 2. Half day power cut. Not their fault. Usually happens in august due to power overconsumption in the district.

Everything was perfect! The apartment is super comfy, it has separate bedroom, main terrace and backyard balcony, also there is a place to dry your swimsuits and towels. Kitchen has everything necessary (plates, cutlery, frying pan, cups), small fridge (enough for your needs). Bathroom is small but comfortable. AC works well, wifi is also ok. Hot/cold water - also without complains. And if you need, you can ask for iron. Hotel is in quiet place far from main roads ( but only 5 min by walk and you can get to the bus station, 2 big supermarkets (lidl and synka), 4 or 5 tavernas, and sea, of course - there are several beaches. The staff is friendly and ready to help. Pool is great, clean. A lot of cicadas, and their little concerts are unforgettable :) Highly recommend this place!

A great choice for a holiday! We spent an unforgettable week in the apartment, and the impressions were the most positive. The pool is just great - clean, well-groomed, ideal for relaxing swimming in the sun. The owners of the apartments deserve the best words. They are very hospitable, attentive and always ready to help with any question or request. The beach is literally a stone's throw from the house, which makes the location ideal for lovers of sea holidays. The apartment has everything you need for a comfortable stay: dishes, furniture, comfortable beds. We didn't have to worry about anything, as everything was provided by caring owners. The garden around the apartments is simply amazing! Well-groomed flowers, green lawns and cozy corners create an atmosphere of peace and tranquility. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking this beautiful garden is a real pleasure. I recommend these apartments to anyone who appreciates comfort, coziness and quality rest. Thanks to the owners for their care and hospitality!

Spacious chalet/studio with lovely vaulted roof. Massive, really comfortable bed. Kitchenette really well equipped - double hob that cooked quickly, excellent quality kettle, toaster and microwave and adequate fridge. lots of top quality utensils etc with a selection of knives that cut well. You can cook here meals you would have at home. Enjoyed them on the terrace facing the illuminated pool at night - magic and very quiet. 10 minutes walk from frequent bus to Chania, also Lidl, beaches and an excellent restaurant. 4 other beaches within another 10 minutes. Shutters and blinds on windows shut out light as you want it.

Needs stronger lighting in bathroom for shaving/make up and the living area because the area around the studio is quiet durng the day but not in the early morning (breakfast bar is very near, as is the path to the bins) so you need the shutters down at these times for privacy. Not a negative but hopefully helpful - the area opposite Elea is an olive grove with a smallholding, sheep, chickens and a cockerel. All neighbours keep watch dogs for security and they bark during the night. You get used to it after a few days, but we will bring earplugs when we next visit (and we intend to)

Elea, was friendly and easy to get too, no 21 bus and get off beside Lidl then a 5 minute walk. The people who worked there were very friendly and helpful. The apartment was spacious and clean, no mosquitoes! There were nice beaches around a 5-10 minute walk, and supermarkets closed by. It's a good walk along the beach into Chania, maybe stopping for a drink or a swim along the way. The swimming pool is small but very nice. We also had fantastic mountain views.

The garden was a little bit overgrown, Lots of good shade. The neighbors dogs we noisy.

Nice place in proximity of the beach. The kids loved the pool and the accommodation was cozy well situated around the pool.

The fact that we had to leave the property at check out and absolutely could not use the facilities ruined the experience. The staff told us we had to leave right away (with small children) despite asking whether we could spend a couple hours on the premises (not our room) since our flight did not depart until late that evening. Not fun to be strolling around with luggage in 35 degrees with kids.

Great location, close to supermarkets, beaches and bus stop for Chania. Lovely pool area, some shade from the many olive trees. Staff helpful and friendly. Apartment and kitchen facilities good. Effective air conditioning and a safe in room. Quiet and peaceful at night. Cleaned regularly, fresh sheets and towels. Our second visit to Elea and our fourth to the Kato Daratso area

Bathroom a bit small. Bedroom storage only a wardrobe, no drawers. Front door was tricky to lock, but once we had the knack of it it was ok.

It is a beautiful property situated in a quiet residential area, a little off the beaten track but with a regular bus service to Chania nearby. There are also some lovely tavernas and supermarkets a couple of minutes walk away. Mikaelis and family were so friendly and welcoming and the whole place is so chilled and relaxed, no rush for sun loungers here! We also loved the resident cats. I really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend
