This was a great place to stay, location was great , parking was easy and the beach was less than a 3 minute walk away. Andreas is amazing, he makes an awesome Turkish coffee and recommended some great places to eat, places to visit. This place was low pressure and it was a perfect place to relax. The pool was perfect and the vibe was chill. I even met some great travelers who had been here before.

Andreas, the host was great. He let us check in soon, gave us lot of useful information for us on visiting places, local authentic food and drin options (vegan options too). His family is on the premises and takes care of all the apartments in the complex and the whole family is good. He has two dogs he has adopted. While the ilder dog is not so social, the younger one (Hercules) is very social and energetic. We arw already missing Hercules. The accommodation is very nice and a good size for a couple. And had all the utensils we needed. Andreas was very quick to respond to messages on WhatsApp, made our stay very comfortable. Highly recommend this property for your stay

Vi hadde et fantastisk opphold hos Andreas og resten av hans familie. Ligger veldig fint plassert. En 3 km gåtur inn til Chania sentrum. Perfekt strand rett ved leilighetene og mange gode spisesteder i nærheten. Andreas gjestfrihet gjorde opplevelsen til 10/10. Vi kommer veldig gjerne tilbake.

Si vous cherchez des vacances reposantes, rendez-vous chez Andreas ! Les appartements sont idéalement situés : à seulement 2 minutes à pied d’une première plage et à 15 minutes de 2 autres plages. La résidence est très calme, sans bruit de circulation. La piscine est propre et accessible jusqu’à une heure tardive, ce qui est très appréciable. Une supérette se trouve juste derrière la résidence, des supermarchés un peu plus grands sont accessibles en 15 minutes à pied, et plusieurs restaurants ainsi que des hôtels sont situés à proximité. Chania n’est pas très loins, on peut s’y rendre en environ 30 minutes à pied en longeant la côte. Des bus sont également disponibles juste à côté de la résidence. Les serviettes et le linge de lit ont été changés tous les deux jours, tout comme les poubelles ont été vidées régulièrement. La literie était vraiment très confortable, et la climatisation dans l’appartement est un vrai plus. Petit point d’amélioration : il pourrait être pratique d’avoir un petit panneau à accrocher à la porte (type « Ne pas déranger »), afin d’indiquer lorsque nous sommes présents dans l’appartement et éviter que la femme de ménage n’entre à ce moment-là. Andreas nous a réserver le taxi pour l’aller et le retour à l’aéroport. Pour finir, la gentillesse d’Andreas et de sa femme et du personnel de ménage a rendu notre séjour encore plus agréable. Ils sont très accueillants et toujours disponibles. Nous recommandons les appartements Elmas Dreams à 100 % !

Elma’s Dream was perfect for us. I wish we could give them ten stars. The beach is steps away. There are food markets and restaurants within easy walking distance. The pool is small, but clean with lots of seating. The best part is Andreas and his family! This is not a chain or a fancy boutique, it like having a home. You want food? Andreas cooks for you. Coffee? Andreas has myriad options. A rental car or scuba trip? Andreas knows who to call. A chat? Have a seat at the bar. In the interest of full disclosure: we arrived early and the only ones there to greet us were Rocky and Hercules, the sweet dogs who live onsite. We were a bit nervous about what the experience might be… as soon as Andreas returned, he made us coffee, comped us breakfast, and made us feel at home. I do not generally plan to return to vacation spots, but I’ll be headed back to stay at Elma’s Dream again, For Sure.

We hebben begin oktober een heerlijke week gehad bij Elma’s Dream Apartments. Het appartement was zeer ruim, met een groot terras waar de hele dag zon op stond – perfect om te ontspannen. Alles was schoon en goed onderhouden, al is het geheel wat gedateerd van stijl. De gastheer Andreas en zijn vrouw waren buitengewoon vriendelijk en behulpzaam. We hadden een klein incident tijdens ons verblijf, en Andreas heeft ons fantastisch geholpen – echte Griekse gastvrijheid! De voorzieningen zijn uitstekend: goede airco, oven, koelkast/vriezer, sterke wifi en dagelijks schone handdoeken. Het bed lag heerlijk en de lakens waren fris. De badkamer is wat klein en de douche heeft geen harde straal, maar dat was voor ons geen probleem. De ligging is top: een paar minuten lopen naar een prachtig zandstrand met blauwe vlag, waar je voor een klein bedrag ligbedden kunt huren. Via het strand kun je zelfs helemaal naar Chania lopen. Kortom: uitstekende prijs-kwaliteitverhouding en een plek waar we zeker graag nog eens terugkomen.
