Book a hotel near Botanical Park and Gardens of Crete, Platanias

"A great hotel. Our room was really comfortable and spotlessly clean. The staff are all so welcoming, friendly and can’t do enough to help you. Great set up and ideal for a holiday. "

"I loved everything about it. "

"We visited Balito with a family of 7 and had the most wonderful stay. The hotel is small but updated and it is run by a wonderful family who makes you feel at home. The pool area is lovely and the breakfast and coffee is perfect in the morning. The rooms were good for our large family (we had two rooms with 3 beds each) and the area is very walkable. It’s about a 14 min walk to the beach (with my slower children) and a 10 min taxi into Chania. There is also a bus to take you to town and some of the other beaches that stops nearby but we didn’t do it because of elders in our group. There is a taverna around the corner that was amazing. Overall I highly recommend this hotel and will be back again if we return to Crete. "

"A perfectly delightful place to stay. The owners went above and beyond to welcome us! The apartment was thoroughly stocked with everything one might need. It is beautifully decorated, has a luxurious hot tub, lovely view, comfortable beds, quiet and has the most helpful and friendly hosts. Communications were prompt and full of helpful information. Location and parking were a big plus. We would highly recommend this to a couple or a family. If we go back to Crete, we will definitely stay here!"

"We had a family of 3 generations staying at the house. Lots of room for everyone. The pool was good for everybody. We enjoyed being out of the city but not very far away. We had those country roads figured out by the time we left and our favorite routes into town."

"An excellent family holiday then location is extremely picturesque and surrounded by mountains. Everyday we saw the most wonderful sunset and sunrise. Sofia met us at the property, she cleaned and cooked delicious traditional food for us and completed check out, making these processes simple and personal. To enable a family to make the most of the island hiring a car is essential. We explored many beautiful beaches, ports and archaeological ruins as we were blessed with sunshine all week. I would recommend a visit for a lovely family holiday. "
