Aphea Village

We stayed here as a couple in June for 5nights. The pool area, public areas and gardens are immaculate! We stayed in room : apartment 51 which was at the top of 4 steep flights of stairs (not good if you’ve got mobility issues!!) We were slightly disappointed when we entered there was a strong musty smell, although the walls had been painted, the kitchen area was tired, with scrapes and small chunks missing on the worktops. It looked grubby and shabby. There was also no kettle which meant we ended up having to buy one at the local supermarket!! When I mentioned this to the lady on reception, she said that they don’t leave them in the rooms, you have to go ask her as they don’t leave them in the rooms. I’ve never heard of that before !!! And it certainly didn’t cross my mind to ask at reception when it was an apartment with equipped kitchenette that we’d booked. Rare to have a hot shower and the bathroom was shocking. The bath was rusty, stained and made me not want to step into it. We were told that the rooms / apartments were undergoing renovations and we assumed they hadn’t visited 51 as yet. It also lacked patio furniture out the front. That would have been a nice touch. Views were absolutely stunning over the town, harbour and sea from Upstairs. The bar and pool are owned by/ run separately from the hotel and the food / drinks were lovely. Pool immaculately clean and maintained. Overall, a relaxing short stay (if you overlook the tiredness of our apartment)

The appartment was quite OK, but the bathroom really needs renovation. The shower space very small and the curtain doesn't help - the water always goes on the floor. However, we had a nice balcony with a nice view to the sea and the swimming pool.

I really expected to be 3 stars hotel, but I rate better: we actually had an apartment not just a room, in a very good price, the cleaning team was working daily, the food at restaurant it is perfect, everyone should try the local food. The view from the balcony is astonished. If I will go again in Kolymbari, I will choose Aphea again.

Absolutely beautiful little hotel with great views and very fairly priced. Hosts at the bar made us dinner at 11:30pm (we had a late check in which was also no problem) the first day and were very accommodating. Would absolutely recommend to stay here :)

A hidden gem in Kolymvari. Wonderful view from the pool over Kolymvari and the rest of the Chania Prefecture. We had a very tastful homemade cheeseburger for lunch. Prices are very good. The people working there, Ioanna and Kostas, do their best to make you feel at home (and we don’t even rent a room there). We’ll be back again for sure!

Lovely stay at this hotel. Very cozy with pool and great view. Good location with restaurants just 5 min wall away

Nice place with good view and service. My only complaint was that i did nit get any water in the shower. Otherwise over a great place.

Basic modern apartment, very clean and plenty clean sheets and towels. So peaceful at night, never slept so well. Nice pool with gorgeous views and snacks and drinks available. Short walk to the beach with half a dozen restaurants where the meals are enormous! The manager has a eye for detail and makes sure everything is ok.Nice coastal walks also and village atmosphere to resort. Not suitable for anybody with mobility issues but apart from that absolutely fabulous
