The place is beautifully situated, plunged in nature and peace. We enjoyed our double view on olive trees and stunning sea-panorama. The apartment is exceptionally furnished and clean. The flower and vegetable garden taken care of by Dimitri is a joy. The sea is at walking distance as well as tavernas. But most of all, Athina and Dimitri are magnificent hosts: they have enriched our stay with lovely attentions, home made bread, grapefruits from the garden, chats and discrete presence. What can I say? We felt at home and we already miss you. Thank you so much. Ada & Mauro
We discovered the delights of Falasarna on a previous visit to Crete and promised ourselves we would stay here on the next visit to the Island. We were lucky enough to find the Romantica Apartments with availability during our search and booked there and then. They are exactly as described and impeccably clean. We were welcomed on arrival by Dimitri who quickly found his wife Athina to show us around. We had appartment 4 which benefits from 2 outside areas - one with a sea view, the other more private overlloking the mountains. Inside we found a servicable kitchenette leading to shower room on one side and bedroom on the other. As she showed it to us Athina explained that the bedroom had just been fully re-fitted and that she planned to upgrade the shower room and kitchen soon too. The enormous bed was wonderfully comfortable (quite firm, but we like that) and the wardrobe and units made for a modern feeling room. There is air conditioning, but in early june we didnt need this as plenty of fresh air came through the shutter screen with the inner window open. In truth the kitchen and shower will benefit when brought up to this standard, but are perfectly serviceable for now. The hotel itself is set well back from the already quiet road and it really is a very short walk down to the best of Falasarnas beaches. Athina and Dimitri spoilt us with gifts of food items every other day - fresh eggs, cretan pies, home cooked veg and fresh figs. They are really welcoming, generous and friendly.…
Its in a really good location. Staff is very helpful and very willing to help you! It's about five minutew from the sea!!! Also, the nature is all around this place. It is something different worth going! Highly recommended
Highly situated, clean, overlooking the sea and the mountains, charming garden with flowers, ten minutes walk to the beach, friendly owners, balcony, aircondition by request, tiny old kitchenett, small showerroom, nice and quiet place for couples in love!
We have just returned from a lovely holiday in Crete and spent the last 4 nights at the Romantica apartments. These are basic, but clean and well equipped, with a fantastic view of the coast from the balcony. The owner is very friendly and welcoming and gave us some fresh cream to eat from the goats in the garden! The beach is ten minutes walk away and there are several local tavernas and a great beach bar, all within easy reach.
I stayed in Romantica apts with my family from 30thaug to 16thsep 2013. The first impression you get at your arrival is of extreamly cleaness and order in the garden around the house. My daughter aged 3 immediatley fell in love with the goats, the dog, the cats and the lovely rabbit that jumps in the garden! We stayed in an apt on the ground floor with two verandas, one overlooking the mountains and one the sea. The apt consists in a bedroom with double bed, not too spacious but enough for placing also a baby cot and a living room with fully equipped kitchenette and a sofa bed. There is also a bathroom with shower and a window. Moreover, air conditioning, hairdryer and coffee maker are provided. You can easily reach the great beach of Falassarna at about 500 mt where you can find sunbeds and umbrellas (6 Euros p/day, at the Big Beach two bottles of water are also included in the price!) and many other spots where you can place your own. There is also a gulf naturally enclosed by the rocks, where children can swim and play safely. For those who like history, at the end of the endless beach, going forward through the olive trees you will find the ancient ruins of the minoan port where you can see among others a huge throne made of stone and an ancient quay. The owners of Romantica, Athina and her beautiful family are really helpful and will make you taste the real cretan hospitality, they really maked us feel like we were at home! Finally, we had a wonderful holiday in Falassarna and if we will be back we will definitely stay again at Romantica!…
