Dejligt sted

Dejlig frodig have med palmer og smukke blomster, der har ikke været noget at sætte en finger på. Dejlig stor pool. Dejlig udsigt vi havde både over pool og havet. Dejlig stille område med restaurenter og bager, og små supermarkeder i nærheden. Værten var sød og rar helt sikkert et sted vi ville komme igen. Pænt og rent. Poolen har åbnet fra kl 8.00 til kl 19.00 men er sæson åbnet fra juni til slut september men rigtig dejlig pool, med børnepool i den ene ende. Der er legeplads med rutchebane og klatretårn samt et gyngestativ. Parkeringsplads er der ved vejen som ikke er trafikeret. Der er en lille fryser i køleskabet. Efter check ud må man godt blive indtil man skal med sit fly, der er et toilet hvor man kan skifte tøj hvis man bader i poolen efter udtjekning.

Traumhafter Garten, entspannter Urlaub

Wir, 2 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder, hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in dieser kleinen Oase auf Kreta. Ein toller Garten und Pool lädt zum Verweilen ein wenn man gerade mal keinen Ausflug geplant hat. Tipps für Ausflüge haben wir auch viele bekommen und Informationen zu Flora und Fauna. Das Hotel ist ruhig gelegen, man kommt jedoch mit dem Auto schnell zu Orten an denen etwas los ist oder tollen Stränden. Wir sind sehr dankbar für den tollen Aufenthalt und können jedem die Unterkunft empfehlen der nicht auf die großen Hotelkomplexe steht :)

Delusa

Ottima l'accoglienza e buona la posizione per raggiungere varie spiagge. Molto bella e pulita la piscina.Visto le foto pensavo di meglio. L'appartamento è poco accessoriato sia in cucina che in bagno, l'aria condizionata è SOLO in camera da letto e chi dorme nel divano-letto in cucina, o fa congelare quelli in camera o soffre il caldo. Quando si apriva l'acqua,un rumore assurdo. Il frigo è piccolo per non parlare della tv, 14 pollici tubo catodico. Il Wi-Fi inesistente, perchè non arriva alla palazzina dopo la piscina. La spiaggia a 5 minuti a piedi è di ciotoli. In mezzo al verde con il continuo rumore dei grilli nelle orecchie! Pulizie scarse e non giornaliere, meglio mettere uno straccio e una scopa in appartamento e non pagarle

Wonderful stay!

I stayed at Rita for 6 nights and I could have stayed longer. It was a beautiful view from my room and I loved sitting in the balcony and watching the ocean and the mountains. The host Mr Shapiro was really nice and welcoming. He was very friendly and we talked about many things. The neighbors in the apartment were also very nice. It was a calm and secluded area, perfect for a relaxing stay. There are shops and restaurants and bus stop close by at a walking distance.

PLEASANT STAY, THE ROOM WAS CLEAN AND WE RECEIVED AN UPGRADE OF THE ROOM FOR FREE. THE STUDIO/APARTMENT WAS BIG WITH A NICE SEA-VIEW AND ALL THE STAFF HAVE BEEN KIND. THE ONLY NEGATIVE THING IS THE QUALITY OF BED (THE MATTRESS NOT CONFORTABLE AT ALL...A VERY LOW QUALITY). ALL THE REST WAS RECOMMANDABLE.

Lousy owner

We stayed in Villa Rita for two nights. When we arrived, around 16:00, the room was still not ready; the owner mumbled something about a screwup in the reservation system. He hastily got sheets etc. into the room and tried to get _us_ to make the beds, which I refused. The room was generally clean but on the matresses there were big visible stains. The owner's attitude was... I can only describe it as annoying. As he greeted us, his instructions on our way to the room were military-style "you're forbidden to do this, that, this, that". One thing that struck me as next to ridiculous was that we were not allowed to change the airconditioning temperature; the remote was locked, and all we could do was turn it on and off. Another _very_ annoying thing is that in our 2-room apartment (one bedroom and one kitchen/living room with two folding beds) there was only one aircondition, inside the bedroom. So the children had to freeze during the night (we got them to sleep in the twin bed, the folding ones were not comfortable at all) while we were sweating. Regarding the area: Platanias is a nice place, very lively with lots of cafes, bars, restaurants etc. But don't expect to find _anything_, not even a bakery or a kiosk, within walking distance of the hotel. You definitely need a car. If there's a bus station nearby, I didn't see it. The pool and the exterior were nice, but not enough to reverse our bad experience. Overall, I cannot recommend it.

We hadde a lovely 2 week stay at villa rita with our childran 9 and 11 years old.The apartment was great, kids loved the pool and the garden is lovely. And the beach by the hotel with the beach bar/restaurant was also lovely. We used the bus when traveling places and it works just fine,we did not feel the need to rent a car to get around. Hopefully we'll have the chance to go back some day.

Soggiorno a Villa Rita

Scelto in base alle foto di presentazione, siamo rimasti un po' delusi dall'appartamento: la "scenografia" che dalle foto del sito sembrava da favola, era in effetti un tantino "ruspante". Materassi a molla stile anni '60, troppo duri; stoviglie e posate ridotte al minimo, neanche uno spremiagrumi...che ci siamo comprati,anche perché il proprietario, gentilissimo e premuroso,non sembrava adatto al ruolo di "ospitante". Mancava l'asciugacapelli e prontamente ce lo ha dato; ma come si fa a chiedere un ferro da stiro,stendino per panni(anche questo arrivato dopo una richiesta nostra), una paletta per raccogliere il sudicio da terra....insomma, mancava davvero un minimo per soggiornare cinque giorni senza dovere chiedere sempre qualcosa al proprietario. Il bello è stata la piscina davvero notevole e in un bel contesto. L'esterno era curatissimo e come da foto del sito senza inganno. Peccato solo che ci sia stato chiesto di rimettere a posto le sdraio dopo l'uso: mah... Ottimo il condizionatore, ma non è stato necessario usarlo troppo: il clima del posto è davvero ottimo! La location e' decisamente ottima per girare e molto tranquilla. Il prezzo da noi pagato forse è risultato eccessivo rispetto ad altri appartamenti nei quali abbiamo soggiornato.
