Modern small hotel on the waterfront in Chora Sfkian with rooms overlooking the sea. Friendly owners and a delicious restaurant attached. Convenient to all places on the southern coast of western Crete.
Fabulous seaside resort with friendly staff in a beautiful location. Lovely beach with chairs and umbrellas. Quiet and relaxed atmosphere. I want to return for a longer stay. Highly recommend.
We stayed one night between visiting Loutro and going to Rethymno.
The hotel is very fresh and well managed.
The location is perfect on the walkway at the beach!
Balcony direct above the beach and the local restaurant.
The hotel restaurant was weary good with nice food and good service.
We will for sure come back !
Nice area close to all restaurants in the area. Many mini markets. Easy access to the port for ferries to many southern villages and beaches. Host were great. Room was very clean and had a great ocean view. Highly recommend.
Das Hotel Samaria können wir empfehlen.
Die Lage im Hafen von Sfakia ist toll. Das Einchecken ging problemlos und war nach 2 Minuten erledigt. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Balkon mit Blick über den Hafen. Das Zimmer hatte alles, was man für einen Urlaub braucht. Kühlschrank und funktionierendes W-Lan seien hier erwähnt. Das Zimmer war sauber und sehr ruhig; kostenlose Parkplätze stehen zur Verfügung (allerdings muss man 5 Minuten laufen. Direkt vorfahren kann man nicht).
Sfakia ist nicht groß, man kann alles zu Fuß erreichen. Zum Hotel gehört ein Restaurant, in dem man gut essen kann.
