Amazing place
This place is so lovely, the staff, the location, the pool, the regular daily cleaning, the towel changes, the food, the sea view,the beaches and the village nearby is lovely …if you want somewhere away from the crazy crowds but still access to all Cretan tourist sights by car and plenty of local food/restaurants then come here. It’s such a great place ….I miss it already !
Portella apartments has a great view over the Mediterranean Sea. I was very impressed with the quality of rooms and landscaping. The owner was very accommodating and friendly to talk to. If I were to go back to Portella, I would stay here.
L'ensemble de Portela Apartments Kastri est plus qu'agréable. C'est un lieu "magique". Son architecture est bien pensée. Respect et convivialité des voyageurs. La vue sur la piscine et sur la mer de votre large balcon est relaxant. L'appartement est d'une propreté quand vous y entrez, jusqu'à l'éponge de la vaisselle, encore dans son emballage. La litière est excellente et les couverts digne d'un grand restaurant. Les attractions sont à 7 minutes à pied de cette hébergement où il fait bon y vivre.
Wir hatten hier eine schöne, ruhige Zeit.....
Gerne wieder !

Veldig flott leilighet, velutstyrt kjøkken. Veldig god seng!
Bratt tilgang til leilighet og basseng, ikkje velegnet om man er dårlig til beins.
Flott utsikt! Anbefalles.
Probably the best holidays rental we've been in. The view is just stunning from the flat or the pool area. The flat is extremely clean and is cleaned every day. It is really comfortable place and there is everything you need inside to cook. The balcony was also very big with two tables.
The pool bar also proposes a good choice of local dishes for reasonable price
You can walk directly to the beach from the pool area, or take your car for short rides to stunning beaches (such as Litsis)
Stavros who welcomed us, was really nice and made us feel comfortable in the area.
Of course the location is a bit lost in the south coast of Crete, but it's definitely worth the journey if you want a restful time, with local people in the village. (If you want a place with sunbeds, beach bars and water activities... Well it's not really the place to go !)
The only small drawbacks were that WiFi was weak in the apartment (ok on the balcony), and that some nights there are some parties in the village downstairs that can be noisy at night (but it's not the renter's fault !)
We will come back with great great pleasure, it was an extraordinary time in the small village of Kritsi !
Wir haben den Aufenthalt in der Unterkunft sehr genossen. Wenn Fragen waren stand uns Stavros und sein Team sofort mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Das Personal war extrem liebenswert, höflich, zuvorkommend und das ganze Gelände nebst Pool und Grünfläche strotzte nur so vor Sauberkeit! Ich bzw wir kann/können diese Unterkunft jedem der keine Mobilitätsstörung hat nur wärmstens empfehlen. Vielen Dank Stavros für die erholsame Zeit, die wir dort verbringen durften.
Der Blick aufs Meer ist heilsam! Nichts fehlt, was man braucht. Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt. Eine freundliche Atmosphäre insgesamt!

Perfekter Aufenthalt
Sehr sauber. Großzügige Aufteilung und Balkon.
Schöner Blick über das Meer und die Umgebung.
Bei einem Aufenthalt von vier Tagen, nach zwei Tagen frische Wäsche und Reinigung. Sehr lobenswert. Sehr freundliche Kommunikation.
Tres bel appartement et belle piscine a debordement.
Mais tres abrupt, beaucoup d'escaliers raides pour arriver aux logements et a la piscine.
Il faut prendre la voiture pour aller a la plage. Et puis surtout pas de reseaux, et wifi au minima voire inexistant.

Ein toller Ort und ein sehr hilfsbereiter und freundlicher Gastgeber! Der Pool und die Bar sind wunderbar. Ein toller Blick aufs Meer. Alles Blitzsauber. Essen ist sehr lecker!
Wir waren zum zweiten (und sicher nicht letzten) Mal da. Diesmal gab es neu Sat-Fernsehen in HD mit allen deutschen sowie internationalen Sendern, die man sich nur wünschen kann. Außerdem wurde der Pool mit einem Rasenstreifen noch ansprechender gestaltet.
Auf unserer Radtour rund um Kreta haben wir hier übernachtet! Ein App., das zum länger bleiben einlädt! Grosszügig gechnitten,gute Matratzen, mit traumhafter Aussicht aufs Meer...Für unternehmungslustige Individualreisende perfekt! Der Pauschalo mit Liege und Schirm ist hier vermutlich eher enttäuscht
