Boasting garden views, Angela Apartments new listing provides accommodation with patio, around 1.3 km from Loutraki Beach. There is a private entrance at the guest house for the convenience of those who stay. The guest house features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

The beach in Marathi is absolutely gorgeous. The room was okay. Just be aware that without a car it’s impossible to move around, there’s no taxi station close and also no supermarkets and atm. So go prepared with cash and a taxi number if you don’t own a car.

This is a new modern apartment & I liked the cleanliness & decor of the suite. It felt calming and relaxing. Plenty of car parking space next to the apartment. I liked the great walk-in shower with a hairdryer provided. There was a flat screen TV for double bed area & another for the single bed area. It was good to find a welcome bottle of water in the fridge & shower gel & shampoo in the bathroom. Towels provided. We were welcomed by a lovely lady who gave us all the information. There was a good WiFi connection. The balcony was perfect for sitting to eat / drink & watching the world go by. The apartment is in a quiet location near a river with beautiful white ducks and geese, making themselves known at times ! We stayed on the first floor with steps leading up to the apartment. It is close to all amenities with a lovely taverna next to the river. Plenty of shops & cafenions to choose from. The local people were very friendly & helpful. We stayed one night as we had to collect a delivery near this village. I would have really liked to have stayed for more nights. It is an ideal spot for driving to nearby towns Vamos, Georgiopoli & close to Chania. I would definitely recommend this as a place to stay & hope to return soon.

    I can wholeheartedly recommend Alpha House for anyone looking for a friendly, quiet stay in beautiful surroundings. Plaka is only a short drive away from the beach, and you can easily discover the west of the island from there. Joan is a wonderful host who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The breakfast is excellent, complete with her homemade bread, jam and local delicacies. We can't wait to return.

    We felt as comfortable in the apartment as if we were at home. everything was right from start to finish. The hosts in particular were so accommodating, listened to every wish, had everything we needed for our baby and were super friendly. The pool and the sea view helped us to relax and enjoy Crete. If we have the opportunity again we will definitely come back. Thank you so much for this great experience.

    Beautiful modern villa not far from Almyrida and the sea, but located a bit uphill, surrounded by olivetrees, and very private. Lots of room, inside and out, large pool. From the first floor a grandiose view of the Lefka Ori and the bay. Wonderful sunsets, peace and quiet. Host very attentive. Loved the warm welcome (with cake and raki!).
