"We stayed for 1 night but it was perfect, rooms very high end with lots of amenities. We had lunch the next day and the food was outstanding as was the service. Highly recommend and we will be back for sure next time we visit "

"Property is set in beautiful gardens which are maintained daily.Rob, Rachel and Winnie are fantastic hosts they make you feel very welcome from when you step into their hidden paradise. Pool is excellent- good amount of sun beds.We are very fit and we could walk to local shop and bus stops, ideal local beach 1.5 miles away, however a car would be required if physically impaired.The property is ‘rustic’ not a recent build and I feel it is difficult for family to maintain, however we were not disappointed. All amenities within in good working order, dishes cups and glasses plentiful we did cook a number of times without any difficulty.It’s rural location results in lot of dog barking at night, ear plugs good option. The family dogs and cats are adorable.Would highly recommend a stay at Crete Retreat when visiting Chania as it is a busy harbour area and it’s a pleasure to escape the hustle and bustle with a 2 euro bus ride back to the countryside."

"I loved everything about it. "

"The property is in a residential area so you really feel like you're in traditional Crete. We were so pleased to find a light and airy apartment on arrival. It was really clean and well decorated. It was nice to find things like beach umbrellas, books, inflatables etc. in the communal areas that we were able to use. There is a fabulous restaurant over the road that is much cheaper than the places in town and offers a really nice variety of traditional Cretan food. The staff were so lovely and helpful and they made our stay even more enjoyable. Parking is really easy and you can walk into the town from the apartment. "

"Very quiet location offering stunning views of Souda Bay. So very peaceful. Its remoteness made trips to Chania more challenging The Staff are very welcoming and accommodating."

"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. "

"Wonderful sea views from our balcony. Friendly service. Clean. Fabulous food"

"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."

"Spectacular views & homeOff the beaten path but worth the drive."
