We had a wonderful stay at Casa Manolesos! This family managed hotel impressed us in many ways. Thoughtfully arranged, brand new looking and spacious rooms with a private bathroom, refrigerator and aircondition. Upon request you‘ll get a local, freshly made, rich and very yummy breakfast (10€ per day). Even for someone with lots of food intolerances (like me) it was no problem at all. The host family tried hard and successfully to find alternative and all typical regional foods. The rooms are cleaned daily and are super tidy. What we definitly loved the most were the friendly natured, very welcoming and dedicated people that hosted us. Every single member of the family tried hard to make our stay as perfect as possible. Be that by giving us helpful recommendations for exploring the island with its many wonderful beaches, helping us out with a borrowed sun umbrella (of course for free!), giving us tips for nice restaurants, bars or cafes or just smiling and greeting us everytime we passed by. To be fair I have to say that due to the close distance to the airport (which also has its benefits) you will be hearing some air traffic throughout the day, but since the island has so much to offer you will be out and about most of the day anyway. For exploring Crete I absolutely recommend to rent a car, so you won‘t miss out on the great places there are to explore. Thank you family Manolesos, you made our stay one to remember very dearly! :)
