Dalabelos Estate - Traditional Agrotourism Complex

Accueil chaleureux de Vassili et Maria qui vous feront découvrir une crète authentique (cuisine excellente avec les produits du potager, culture et musique crétoise) dans un cadre magnifique (vue sur les oliviers et la mer depuis la terrasse et de chaque logement). Les appartements sont bien équipés et très propres, construits de telle sorte que chacun se sente chez soi. Position stratégique dans la région de Réthymnon avec de nombreuses sorties pour ceux qui aiment la nature, la randonnée en montagne, la plage, l'architecture et les vieilles pierres. Vassili vous indiquera les coins à ne pas manquer.

I can't rate this place highly enough. They have thought of everything to make your stay as excellent as possible. It is family run and they really care about their visitors. The food was delicious, the service efficient and the atmosphere was relaxed. Beautiful views from the rooms, dining veranda and swimming pool. There was freshly picked fruit for breakfast with homemade jams, cheese, eggs. Nothing was too much trouble. Each apartment has it's own outside area. Give yourself a treat and stay at Dalabelos.

If you want total relaxation, far from the madding crowd (and yet only a short drive to Rethimno), and with people who care - this place could be for you. Two days was not quite enough for me, I would have liked to stay a little longer, but in that time I felt completely relaxed with no agenda. I had a great view from my room, wonderful breakfasts and a fabulous dinner with special entertainment from Vasilis and his friend with their exceptional musical talent, This place is not for you if you need pampering, want fancy lotions in your bathroom, a spa etc. But if you want to feel a genuine connection with Crete, to eat food grown directly in their garden, and avoid the ‘sunbed crowds’ then come here.

We have very mixed feelings about this hotel. The good: beautiful setting away from the crowds with amazing views on olive trees all the way to the coast. The grounds are great and very well kept.The food served is very tasty made with the products of the farm. The hostess, Maria, is very sweet and very welcoming. The pool is big and we often had it to ourselves. The less good: the pool is not heated and in late September the water is a bit too cold to enjoy swimming. The bedroom although large with a nice balcony is strangely designed because the bed is against the wall so my husband had to crawl out of bed. And the switches for the night lamps were all on my side! No WiFi in the room, you have to go on the balcony. The bad: we payed extra to have a jet tub in our bungalow. This proved a waste of money since the jet tub was not heated. We had to ask 2 hours ahead when we would be using it and then the water was a little warmer but still not warm enough to sit in. Finally I never used it and my husband only once. We were also very surprised by the reaction of the host who told us it was never mentioned it was heated! Some things go without saying!😊And the lonely planet guidebook does mention heated jet tub. We hoped till the last minute that he would offer at least a partial refund, but no!

The place is far from the crowd, but you can see the sea. There is a swimming pool, and our apartment even had a private spa and terrace. It feels like you have your own place. Breakfast is varied and of great quality. On top of the comfort, the place is ideal to go and visit the area, and the hosts are full of good tips.

Le paradis au coeur se la nature Crétoise. Un véritable havre de paix créé par Vassili et Maria deux hôtes charmants. Les chambres sont traditionnelles et confortables avec une vue à couper le souffle. La piscine est superbe et entourée par les potagers où l'ont voit pousser ce que l'on nous sert dans nos assiettes. C'est rare ! Des oliviers partout, des cigales qui chantent, si vous voulez vous ressourcer dans un lieu authentique loin des gros hôtels touristiques de la côte, courrez-y ! Le petit-déjeuner est également exceptionnel. Vassili est aussi de très bon conseils sur la région et il nous a beaucoup aidé lorsque nous avons eu un problème médical c'est une personne en or. Merci encore à eux !
