Self Catering Accommodation in Fodele

The apartment is fabulous, clean, and right on the best part of the beach, close to a quiet taverna and free sun loungers and umbrellas. From the rooms, you can watch the sun set directly over the sea. It's an ideal place for a relaxing holiday, yet strategically located for exploring Crete. Two other tavernas are within 100 meters, and more can be found in the village of Fodele, just 3 km away. Special thanks to Penelope, who welcomed us with kindness, generosity, and discretion. 10!

Great location on the beach, very well equipped. The beach is great for avoiding the super touristy other places like Agia Pelagia which is overcrowded. The nearby Fodele Village is lovely

Surprisingly pleasant! The apartment is new and right on the beach! I mean really on the sand! The sea is in front and it is a wonderful picture! The beach is sandy and the entrance is smooth into the water. The apartment is small, cozy and well equipped. At the opposite end of the beach there is a large resort, and at night its lights are very beautiful in the darkness of the night and are reflected in the sea. Right next to the accommodation there is a small tavern where you can eat very well, and which provides free sunbeds. It is excellent to come here by car, because you are a few minutes away from Heraklion or other places, which you can easily visit. The supermarket is not well stocked and you have nothing to buy there, so it is good to do your shopping before coming. We felt excellent! There is also a cat there and it was part of our ritual to feed it every morning. I think the people before us fed her and we continued this habit. We left dry cat food in one of the cupboards, and we are curious if those who followed us found the bag of food. We stayed in apartment number 5. The owner visited us one evening, and he was very nice to us and we would like to thank him for the wonderful stay we had!

The location is very good, Fodele is a lovely village. There's a children playground just in front of the Mandarina Grove and plenty of little shops/tavernas. There's a beach in 5 mins drive from Fodele. The apartment itself is quite small but very cosy and has everything you might need during the stay. It's also nicely decorated. There's a lot of sunlight coming in to the apartment during the day, which is very nice.

Apartment is really spacious and there isn't anything I can think of missing.

The hosts were so friendly and helpful. The village are great and spacious. In the kitchen you have eveything you need to make simple meals during the day but you have great restaurants near by as well. There is a very nice view by the pool. Mary came every 3rd day to change the sheets and to bring new towels which had an amazing smell and were fresh. We came with our baby and they provided a cribe which was amazing. We will come back for sure!!

The location is amazing: in the hills, in the middle of a beautifully landscaped garden. It is just minutes away from the Fodele beach (not a crowded one, very good prices, great views) and minutes away from the village where you can get anything you want and eat at several restaurants. The house itself is extremely well thought, good space, nice solid furniture, it feels like a house, not a hotel. A lot of character and anything you might need is there. You don't get just a house, you get a property and a whole experience. The kitchen has any appliance you can think of and there are also plenty of supplies. I also appreciated the small library (travel guides but also novels in various languages). I got my hands on an Agatha Christie novel I had not read before :) and we loved the telescope to admire the moon. You have a choice of terraces or maybe give them up and choose the hammock under the olive trees or (like my kids) be an adventurer and go up on the house itself. You can pick your own lemons, limes, grapes and pomegranate. I barely saw my kids once we were there: they had so much to explore, so many hidden places to discover. Despite all these great things, it is our host Kostas that should receive the main praise: for his kindness, availability, generosity. We loved the pottery lesson and are very proud of our 'artistic' achievements. Thank you, Kostas, for sharing with us your house and your passion!
