Guest Reviews
- Burfeind (8/5): - Super Ausblick,gute Brötchen Abends spät und morgens früh recht unruhig.Es wäre gut gewesen,wenn wir vorher auf unsere Frage,ob es in der Unterkunft leise ist , richtig informiert worden wären.
- AURELIEN (10/5): Vue incroyable, logement propre et fonctionnel, et petit-déjeuner local livré chaque matin. - Séjour de 4 nuits au The Hillside Home absolument parfait pour découvrir l’ouest de la Crète. Logement impeccable, fonctionnel avec une vue magnifique sur la baie de La Canée. Chaque matin, un vrai plaisir : petit-déjeuner livré directement devant la porte avec des spécialités locales fraîches, un vrai plus qui rend l’expérience encore plus authentique. Emplacement idéal pour rayonner entre plages, gorges et villages, tout en profitant du calme en hauteur. Une adresse qu’on recommande sans hésiter !
- Piotr (10/5): Worth visiting again - Świetny widok z tarasu. Nie trzeba wychodzić z domu aby zobaczyć wschód słońca. Można cieszyć sie kawa podziwiając widoki. Apartament bardzo dobrze wyposażony. Niczego nam nie brakowało. Blisko domu jest miejsce parkingowe. Dojazd do posesji może być wyzwaniem dla kierowców amatorów,ale to nic strasznego. Warto dotrzeć na szczyt.
- Marieke (8/5): - Mooi uitzicht, fijne keuken!
- Gerit (10/5): Mega Ausblick - Besonders schön war der Balkon mit der tollen Aussicht über Platanias. Wir wurden jeden Tag mit Köstlichkeiten zum Frühstück verwöhnt. Die Wohnung war sehr sauber und alles vorhanden, was man für einen erholsamen Urlaub braucht. Die Gegend war ruhig und das Bett bequem. Vielen Dank an Agapi und Alexa, die jederzeit ansprechbar und hilfsbereit waren.0
- Shetler (10/5): The best view on Crete - Beautiful place with a beautiful view and all the Necessities for a comfortable stay including fresh Bakery items each morning:-) Must have a small car to access the narrow streets leading up to the apartment
- Fabio (10/5): Sentirsi coccolati e rilassati - Proprietaria molto gentile e disponibile per ogni evenienza. Colazione tipica, dolce e/o salata, fresca, ogni mattina. Balcone con una vista a dir poco spettacolare. Location lontano dal caos cittadino, ma allo stesso tempo a pochi minuti a piedi dal centro di Platanias. Niente, tutto perfetto.
