Elia Hotel and Spa

This exquisitely restored 200-year old farmhouse, now tastefully converted into a nine-room country inn, is surrounded by lush gardens and olive trees. The peace and quiet here, combined with the comfortable rooms, spa facilities, good cuisine and high level of personal service, makes the Elia a perfect hillside retreat for complete relaxation and rejuvenation.

The rooms are all different and furnished with care and taste to reflect the hotel's rustic charm. Mod cons in all rooms include AC, TV, tea-making facilities and fridge, and WiFi in public areas.

All beds are doubles (bar one Standard twin room). Standard rooms all have shower and open onto the common terrace (each room has its own seating area in the garden). Superior and Deluxe rooms have an additional living area and (bar one Superior room) a bathtub with shower above. Some are split-level 'maisonette' style, and some have four poster bed and/or a private terrace.

Extensive Mediterranean gardens hide the large 88 sq m pool (depth 0.60-2.00m) and the restaurant offers delicious regional specialities for dinner. The Elia also has a sauna with a range of spa treatments.

Service is personal and excellent, and information freely given about nearby walking trails and points of interest. It is just a 10 minute drive to the beach and village of Kolimbari and 25 minutes to Chania Town.

Car hire is included - it is a 10 minute drive to Kolimbari beach and 25 minutes to Chania.

Highly recommended, we really cannot fault anything about this hotel.
