    “Die Ausstattung und die Lage lassen in Verbindung mit dem Äußeren Eindruck an sich keine Mängel aufzeigen! Man sollte sich aber auch im klaren darüber sein, dass Traditionele Häuser auf Kreta keine All In Luxus Hotel Anlagen sind! Das bezieht sich auf das Thema Ausstattung! Die Sauberkeit ließ zu wünschen übrig! Da vor Ort keine größere Mülltonne im Außenbereich aufindbar war, und die Putzfrau erst bei der Endreinigung kommt, gab es ein Mülleimer Probleme! Gerade im Badezimmer ist so etwas ärgerlich da das Toilettenpapier ja nicht in die Toilette geworfen werden soll. Man muss sich dann zu helfen wissen oder mit Nachbarn einen Weg finden! Aufgrund der Sauberkeit und dem Gefühl das es eher eine Wohnung statt eines Ferienhaus ist, muss ich sagen war es ein stolzer m.M.n ein zu hoher Preis! Positiv: Die Lage als auch der Äußere Eindruck sind wirklich hervorragend! In wenigen Minuten ist man am Strand oder aber in dem wunderschönen Elounda! Die beeindruckenden Boote im Nostalgischen Hafen sind ein wahrer hingucken!
    Mit ausgewählten Bootstouren kann man einen wunderschönen Tag verbringen! Die Restaurants die ebenfalls alle in wenigen Minuten Erreichbar sind kann ich alle nur weiterempfehlen! Negativ: Die Fotos des Anbieters sind nicht alle von dieser Wohnung aus gemacht worden. Der Balkon im Obergeschoss gehört nicht dazu. Ebenfalls erinnert das ganze mehr an eine Wohnung als an ein Ferienhaus. Die Sauberkeit lässt zu wünschen übrig, da habe ich wirklich etwas mehr erwartet! Die Geräte der Küche waren ausreichend und ok! Das Bad besitzt jedoch keinen wirklichen jacuzzi sondern eine nicht sehr saubere Wanne mit Düsen die aber nicht funktionieren. Restaurant: Olondi - Kretas Traditionele Küche zeigt hier von der besten Seite! Top Bedienung die auch immer für ein nettes Gespräch zu haben ist! Frischer Fisch und gutes Fleisch zu einem fairen Preis! Ausflüge: Rofus Bootsfahrt - Sehr nettes Paar die alles möglich machen um einen Tag auf dem Boot zu verbringen! Ob als Gruppe oder romantischer Ausflug zu zweit! Sie bringen einen zu den besten Stellen zum Schwimmen und tauchen! Außerdem zu den schönsten Höhlen in die man schwimmen kann! Sehr leckeres Essen an Bord, und alles zu einem sehr guten Preis! Einer der schönsten Tage überhaupt!”

    “Ehemaliges Kloster, welches restauriert und in Appartments aufgeteilt wurde. Es liegt mitten in dem Dorf Mavrikiano oberhalb von Elounda. Die Räume sind etwas klein, dafür gibt es es eine große Terrasse mit Pool und schonem Blick in die Landschaft. Das Zentrum von Elounda ist zu Fuß gut erreichbar. Die sanitären Anlagen sind funktionstüchtig, vom Standard gerade ausreichend. Die Küche ist nur spartanisch ausgestattet und technisch veraltet. Die Klimaanlage und das WLAN funktionierten einwandfrei. Die Moskitonetze über den Betten sind wirklich nötig, auch auf der Terrasse sind die Biester sehr aktiv. Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal.”

    “Oberhalb von Elounda im Dorf Mavrikiano gelegen. Ehemaliges Kloster, liebevoll renoviert und in Ferienappartements aufgeteilt. Dieses Appartement ist recht klein und dunkel, die einzige Terrasse bietet wenig Sonnenschutz. Die sanitären Anlagen funktionierten recht gut - Schwankungen im Wasserdruck sind wohl normal. Die Küche ist ist technisch nicht mehr aktuell und nur mit dem Allernötigsten ausgestattet. Das WLAN funktioniert einwandfrei.
    Fazit: Für Menschen, die gerne in einem geschichtsträchtigen Gemäuer inmitten eines griechischen Dorfs leben wollen.”

    “In 1 woord "prachtig authentieke traditionele Griekse woning", gelegen in een echt authentiek deel van Elounda. Ideaal voor mensen die houden van rust en willen verblijven tussen de Griekse bevolking zelf. Het huis was heel schoon, om de andere dag waren er verse lakens en handdoeken en men kon zelfs was meegeven met de poetsvrouw die gratis gewassen en gestreken terug kwam. Heel vriendelijke ontvangst en service. We hadden een prachtige buitenkeuken die volledig uitgerust was met kookvuur en koelkast en diepvriesvak, koffiezet en waterkoker. Er was een grill en echte pizzaoven. Kortom alles was aanwezig. De airco deed het perfect. Een eerder klein zwembad 5 x 5 meter, maar schoon en verfrissend. Helaas is 1.70 m minder geschikt voor kleine kindjes, maar voor ons was het perfect. We hadden zicht op bergen en een dorp. Echt een aanrader. Authentieker als dit kan men niet vinden. Prijs/kwaliteit echt top. Ook de wifi werkte goed en was gratis.”
