We had a wonderful week staying at the Summer Lodge. Vassilis and Atena were very friendly and made us feel at home. They are very knowledgeable about the island and gave great tips for day trips. The location is great for exploring the beautiful beaches and mountain regions in the West Of Crete. It is also 5 mins walk from a lovely beach. The pool looked clean although we never used it because we spent all our time exploring the beaches. There is a supermarket and a few very nice restaurants within a 10min walk from the guesthouse. The owners also organise day trips to all the main tourist stops. We didn't avail of this because we had a car but I think it is a great feature of this accommodation as it means a car isn't essential for exploring the island. The area is very quiet. You can hear cars on the road outside but this didn't bother us. Our room had a lovely little balcony surrounded by large trees which gave it some privacy. I would recommend staying here if you are looking for basic, clean and affordable accommodation.
