Platanos Hotels

"Vagelis was a wonderful host and his villa and garden were perfect for our 3-generation family holiday. We arrived at a very unsocial hour and Vagelis was there to welcome us and share delicious local provisions to start our holiday.Highly recommended."

"We had a great stay. Hotel was sparkling clean. Lovely pool and simple but very good breakfast with freshest vegetables and feta every day. Coffee machine worked well and the options for coffee were fantastic. Plenty of parking near hotel, and a nice village and great beach in walking distance were of course what we came for. I wish we stayed even longer. "

"The hotel was a lovely place to stay Near to everything you would need Not far to walk to town and the beach "

"We had the most amazing stay from start to finish. We got there after midnight due to flight times, but were offered a guide to get us there or clear directions with a code for a key box. When we got there, the property had outside lights to guide us in and a fridge with a home cooked meal in, snacks, wine, olive oil and fruit. :-). So welcoming. The next day when we woke up we realised how beautiful the villa was and the views are just stunning. There is a twisty mountain road to get up to the villa but it’s very quiet. You’ll see more goats than cars. Take your time and enjoy the scenery and all is well. The pool was spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable, the showers wonderful and it was very well equipped. The villa is within half an hour of Rethymno which is delightful. We were also within an easy drive of Knossos, Chania, Heraklion and Lake Kournas. One day however, we just stayed home and enjoyed the relaxation of the villa. :-)As we had a super late flight home and as no one was due to arrive the day we left, our hosts kindly agreed that we could stay way beyond the check out time and enjoy our last day without rushing. We stayed until 4pm and we are so appreciative of the kindness. We even received a parting gift. I cannot recommend Harkia Villas enough. Simply stunning. X. "

"Clean room, great staff , good food, lovely out of town location. We were end of season so not too busy. Small but adequate. This rustic hotel has bags of charm and provides a friendly welcome. Paula the manager is an incredible person 5 ⭐️"

"Friendly staff "

"This resort was absolutely incredible! From the mouthwatering food to the friendly staff, every moment was a delight. The easy access to the stunning ocean made the experience even better! I can't express how fantastic this vacation spot is! The staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and cared for—what an unforgettable trip!"

"A Perfect Start to a Relaxing HolidayWe had a truly lovely time at the villa. Everything was exactly as described – clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed. We were greeted with a thoughtful gift basket and a delicious evening meal, which was such a lovely touch to kick off our stay. It really set the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday. Highly recommended – we’d definitely return!"

"Great beach resort with restaurants and local shops on your doorstep. The breakfast was varied and good quality. Ideal if you don't intend to travel around, otherwise you'll need a car rental (plenty of free parking). Good quality room size. I'd stay here again."
