Summer Lodge in Crete Island

zuletzt aktualisiert am 05.01.2010

Conveniently located on the edge of the historical sea side village of Maleme, Summer Lodge, an attractive, family run vacation lodging is a fine example of traditional Greek architecture. Only 5 Kms from the centre of Platanias and 16 Kms west of Hania town, is the ideal starting point for the visitors requiring a wide variety of sandy beaches, water sport activities, peaceful countryside walks, or interesting visits in archaeological and historical sites. Set around a pretty, flower filled courtyard and orange grove, our house has a total of 17 well furnished and nicely decorated rooms. They all have en-suite shower rooms, WC and wash hand basin and are equipped with fridge, cooling fan and safe box. Most of the rooms have shared balconies or open terraces whilst others on the ground floor, that face onto the gardens, have a patio area and are particularly cool in the heat of the summer. With the tremendous advantage of being no more than 400 meters by footpath to the long, quiet beach of Maleme, mostly sandy but also pebbly and a number of nearby tavernas as well as a supermarket, the situation couldn't be more convenient and car hire, although useful, is not essential. The superb 10m x 5m pool is surrounded by sun terraces and is supplied with patio furniture and sun lounges. Beyond the pool and shaded by feathery willow trees is a pretty terrace with free WiFi internet acess, where breakfast is served any time you please and a small bar serving cool drinks in the hot summer evenings. Personal service, relaxing atmosphere and a warm welcome await you at our family Summer Lodge, a charming property, ideal for both families and couples. While enjoying your stay with us, take the opportunity for the following on site or nearby attractions & activities : Amusement water park, local festivals & live music, historical interests, sandy beaches, nature-picnic area, lake & national parks, antique shopping, museums & art galleries, traditional cuisine & fine dining. Swimming & water sports, fishing & diving, windsurfing & boat tours, mini golf, hiking trails, sight seeing tours, tennis courts, horseback riding, bird watching, mountain biking, car & motor-bike rental.
