Spilia Village Hotel & Villas

We had a lovely relaxing week here as a family of 4 with 2 adult children. We had intended to use the sofa bed in the lounge but they had put an extra bed in the single room for us. It was a bit of a squeeze but they only used the room for sleeping. We found the staff to be very welcoming and helpful. We had an issue with our villa pool as it wasn’t filtering but they were quick to resolve the problem. The breakfast was a nice bonus and we were addicted to the Greek yoghurt and honey! There was maid service and pool maintenance every other day with fresh towels provided. We stayed in Villa Nicholas which was up a very steep hill so wouldn’t be suitable for elderly/infirm. We chose not to hire a car but it was only €8 to Kolymvari where there was a nice assortment of bars and restaurants on the seafront. We ate at the hotel and also the 2 other local restaurants in Spilia too. We also visited Chania old town one night which was very lively and took a boat trip to Balis beach from Kissamos. Reception staff were helpful in booking taxis. The only reason I dropped a star was the pool area of the villa had some weeds in the paving which led to the villa looking a little unkempt. The villa next door overlooks the pool area so not very private but we were lucky as there was no-one staying there for the first few days of our holiday. Crete was lovely and we would return

Lovely place lovely people. If you want to get away from the mob this is the place. Beautiful setting. Lovely food. Reception were very helpful as were all the staff. Only negatives I have are the Villas are up a big hill so have a car or be fit. Also the pool at the villa wasn’t ready (on and cleaned) on the Saturday we arrived, wasn’t sorted until we said something on the Monday. But was sorted very quickly.

We decided to return to Spilia village after sick a great holiday last year, not an easy decision as we had such high expectations from 2024. It didn’t fail to disappoint. It was really nice to see the same staff members that made us feel so welcome the previous year with special mention to Manos, Gen, Miranda and Dora who made our stay feel so special. Once again, service, food, setting and amenities all amazing. My only very small criticism is although the evening dinner menu is of great quality, when staying for 2 weeks it can be a bit limiting so would be nice to see some menu changes just to change things up a little bit. That being said, it still gets an easy 5 stars as a holiday and although we like to explore, at least we know if we return to Spilia village again we can feel sure we’re in for a relaxing holiday with great staff who truly are a credit to the hotel.

Hotel di lusso, lasciato un po’ in abbandono da anni. Avrebbe bisogno di un approfondito restauro. Buona e gentile l’accoglienza, ci è stata offerta una limonata fresca. Camera con mobili molto vecchi, come pure il pavimento e il resto dell’arredamento. Letto matrimoniale con materasso unico sobbalzante. TV piccola e posizionata male. Non c’è la possibilità di farsi un the. Condizionatore vecchio con telecomando senza batterie cariche (abbiamo dovuto chiamare per sostituire le pile). Dal rubinetto del lavandino in bagno usciva un filo d’acqua, sempre tiepida. Dalla doccia usciva acqua dappertutto fuorchè dagli ugelli dove dovrebbe uscire. Poggioletto piccolissimo e con assi imbarcate e consunte. Odore di muffa al piano terra. Idromassaggio non funzionante in una zona piscina peraltro molto bella, come bellissima è tutta l’area esterna, tenuta bene. Bottiglia di acqua in camera… ma c’è scritto che è a pagamento. Per 128 euro a notte mi sembra eccessivo. Colazione medio buona, ma non adeguata al prezzo pagato.

Eine wunderbare, bezaubernde Alternative zu den Massen "Luxus-Ressorts" irgendwo am Strand. - Schöne Zimmer (Wir hatte eine Suite), ruhig, sauber und geräumig, sehr schöne Pool-"Landschaft", gutes Frühstück, Restaurant vor Ort, schönes Örtchen und mit dem Mietwagen alles zum Wandern (Imbros und Samaria Schlucht), Baden an schönsten Stränden (Elafonisi und Falarsarna), Städtchen (z. B. Chania) gut erreichbar. Sehr nette Leute, die dort arbeiten... , und alles zum Wohlfühlen dort tun. Kurzum: Eine unbedingte Empfehlung für Kreta in dieser Region.
