Wir hatten einen außergewöhnlich erholsamen und schönen Urlaub im Elea Terra Hotel. Hier stimmen nicht nur Preis-Leistung, sondern vor allem auch die AtmosphĂ€re. Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal, frisch renovierte, saubere Zimmer, generell superschöne RĂ€umlichkeiten, auch die Lobby mit Bar und Aufenthaltsbereich sehr gemĂŒtlich. Ein Pool mit Poolbar und wirklich sympathischer Bardame. Herrlich unser Blick aus dem Zimmer, auf Orangen und ZitronenbĂ€ume und die Berge und umliegende Landschaft. Die Lage war fĂŒr uns perfekt, abseits vom Trubel, ca. 10 min zu Fuß schlendert man nach Matala, zum Strand, mit seinen berĂŒhmten Höhlen, vielen CafĂ©s, Restaurants und regionalen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten wie Keramik, Olivenölprodukte oder Textilien. Viele Ausflugsmöglichkeiten, wirklich gĂŒnstige Autovermietungen ĂŒberall, so viel, das es zu sehen gibt, so viele Wanderrouten. Mitte Mai ist gerade noch Vorsaison, es sind schon Touristen da, aber es ist noch nicht ĂŒberlaufen. Das FrĂŒhstĂŒcksbuffet ließ keine WĂŒnsche offen, viele Elemente wie die warmen Speisen haben tĂ€glich variiert, auch fĂŒr Vegetarier war mehr als ausreichend Auswahl vorhanden. Alles wird frisch zubereitet und es wird sehr auf QualitĂ€t geachtet. Was man hier bemĂ€ngeln kann: Dass der Urlaub nicht lĂ€nger gedauert hat - wir werden sicher wieder kommen, dann aber auf jeden Fall mehr Zeit einplanen!

Det var en fornÞjelse at overnatte pÄ hotellet. Vi fik et dejligt opdateret vÊrelse som man kunne mÊrke var opdateret til ny standard. Hotellet ligger i god gÄ afstand til byen og vi vil ikke tvivle med at bruge dem igen hvis vi skulle tilbage til Matala.
