Hello, went to Frida apartments on 8th July. Wonderful reception from Manos on arrival. The room was exactly what we wanted, roomy, spacious and clean with a wonderful view. On our 1st day we walked into the nearby town of Hersonissos which could have everything you could imagine, from scenic views and lovely cafes and restaurants. The walk back is quite uphill but only about 20 minutes. On our 2nd day we saw nearby Piskopiano which is only 5 minutes away. Unfortunately I was suffering with severe stomach pains. We spoke to Manos who kindly arranged and gave us information to see a Doctor, from there I was taken to a medical centre who did an ultrasound and then rushed to Hospital where I had 3hour operation for acute ruptured appendix. Whilst having to spend the rest of the holiday in Hospital, Manor kept in touch with us for any needed information. This has not put me off returning to Crete or Frida apartments and look forward to a return trip. Whilst waiting for our return transfer he gave us another room so I could rest. I can't thank the hospitality and support from Manos, Frida apartments and all the surgeons/nurses who helped me in Crete. This place is beautiful an we look forward to returning. Thank you to Manos and his wonderful team. PS. DONT FORGET YOUR TRAVEL INSURANCE

Just back from 10 days at Frida Apartments in Chania Crete. First of all thank you to Frida and her wonderful staff for making our stay so enjoyable. We had breakfast in the on-site restaurant every morning with views of the sea. Fresh fruit and a selection of cheese,meat, cereal and Cretan food was available every morning. There are two swimming pools one just below the dining area and the other further down some steps. The rooms were cleaned to a high standard every day by the very friendly staff who were always in great form. The fabulous beach is about a 10 minute walk and Chania is about a 20 minute walk or a €7 taxi. We ate at the on-site restaurant on a couples of evenings sipping cocktails in the happy hour before dinner. Again thanks to all at Frida for looking after us so well. We will return.

“Lovely Friendly Family Run Aparthotel”

Lovely apartments, most with a sea view. Unusual to have 2 swimming pools although 1 is really more a plunge pool suitable for non-swimmers and children especially.

Lovely apartments, most with a sea view. Unusual to have 2 swimming pools although 1 is really more a plunge pool suitable for non-swimmers and children especially. Staff were all very helpful and friendly. Great location if you want to visit Chania town as there is a free local bus 6 days a week from nearby car park. Nice beaches you can walk to within 10 mins. Nea Chora beach nearby is lots of good seafood restaurants. Would definitely visit again.

“Brilliant location, good food and fantastic staff”

We spent four weeks at Friday apartments and what a great choice! At the end of a quiet cul de sac, it's within 10 minutes' easy walk of Nea Chora beach with bars, tavernas and mini-supermarkets, 35 minutes' walk east to Chania's old port, and within half an hour's walk west to several sandy beache… more

We spent four weeks at Friday apartments and what a great choice! At the end of a quiet cul de sac, it's within 10 minutes' easy walk of Nea Chora beach with bars, tavernas and mini-supermarkets, 35 minutes' walk east to Chania's old port, and within half an hour's walk west to several sandy beaches and good eateries. Arriving late (11pm), Roula had waited to greet us and take us to apartment 25. The following morning we asked to be moved, as there was a leak in the shower room and a puddle on the floor in front of the sink. No problem! We were immediately taken to apartment 28, in a quiet corner with a large, paved 'garden' in front of it. There was a leak in that shower room too but, as it seemed to be oozing at floor level from the wall behind the toilet, we imagine the plumbing is probably suspect in all the apartments. Unfortunately, the wall in the bedroom is mouldy and crumbling as a result. We were also a bit disappointed by the very limited cooking provision, which consisted of a two-ring hob that blew the fuses one evening when we tried to use the larger ring. We had chosen the self-catering option rather than B&B so it meant we had light breakfasts and didn’t actually bother cooking in the evenings. Roula was a star throughout, with lots of local knowledge, particularly about food, and recommended some fantastic tavernas. We ate out a lot, but also had substantial meals in Frida’s café. Chef Nikos is very good, and certainly likes to feed people. We can’t praise the staff enough: Gabriela serving at lunchtimes and Anna in the evenings. Anna shook a mean cocktail, whipped up a lovely chocolate mousse with sprinkles, and kept us entertained with her cheeky chat and dry sense of humour. Our total admiration, however, went to Efi and Roula #2, the always-smiling cleaners who came in every day and kept the whole place spotless. Thanks to everyone. Our main gripes were the sometimes selfish, messy, littering, drunken, noisy neighbours (including Finnish, Irish and British) and the fact that we were both bitten to death by mozzies/midges.
