Italian Atmosphere in Crete *
Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A ALong drive from lentas on very bumpy way. Hotel is situated on its own, beautiful view over the bay. No taverns or similar nearby. If you arrive on evening the can dinner the in-house Italian restaurant on German prices are taken. Homemade pasta, delicious but also from 10 euros rather expensive. Staff Italian and English speaking, helpful and nice. Rooms are small, and simply furnished. Bathroom without tub and shower curtain. Here art, the shower! Pictures on the Internet promised more.

Hotelier's comment
Dear Isolde,Thank you for your comments. We remember you spent just one night in our little place, and still, you write in your language many good things about us, about the wonderful panorama, the very quiet place, about our home made pasta fresca, good service and the kindness of the team.
Despite the fact that you enjoyed all these, the low ranking you used is affecting our good image, and we are sorry for this. It seems that the comments and the marks are coming from two diffferent points of view.
Never mind. Anyway, we want now to outline that the isolated place where we are, is a good point for most of the people who choose to stay in casaDoria because it's quiet also in busy seasons' days.
Check out the place and all information we provide at: http://www.casadoria.net/deu/
The fact that there are not many place to eat it's not true: we have, beside our restaurant, also two bar-tavernas close to our place.
You ranked just 1 some points like the fact that there are no supermarkets nor shops, that are in the village at 3,5 km away from us. We run a little hotel, with daily cleaning service, not a rent room with kitchenette. It's a different tourism approach.
You also put 1 transfer and excursions. A lonely quiet place is far. People who love this come with a rented car, or by bus, and we also organize transfer and excursion, but probably you did not even mail or ask us.
You put "2" as "not good for families": casaDoria is a far quiet place, ... we have a baby aged two so we say always to our client to be responsible for little children, as we are with ours, but ...we enjoy with our baby the nature of Loutra and the sea.
Distance from the beach (3): it's a five min walking to reach the beach close to The Bath of Pasiphae, you can see it down casaDoria. It's not "pieds dans l'eau" but it's really really close by. In the nearby there are all beaches for any taste and age.
Let us say it's a pity you did not have dinner that night at casaDoria to discover our wine cellar and food: a menu that covers mediterrean preparation, Italian and Greek food: all home made, espresso and not-reheated, made of organic ingredients.
We wait for you next time, if you would appreciate that a price of 15€ for a full dinner of this kind. In a so lonely place we feel particularly proud about it, as our Guests since 4 year tell us "great job!"...
We do not think there are as you said "German prices": we think there must be also a freedom to choose quality, service and.. price.
Kind regards.
Valeria & Jacopo (& little Camilla ;))
