Overview
Conveniently located on the edge of the historical seaside village of Maleme, this attractive, family-run holiday lodge is a fine example of traditional Greek architecture. Set around a pretty, flower-filled courtyard and orange grove, Summer Lodge offers you well-furnished and pleasantly decorated rooms. Most have private balconies or open terraces. Rooms on the ground floor, which face the gardens, have a patio area and are particularly cool in the heat of the summer. Continental breakfast is served in the morning. We have the tremendous advantage of being around 400 metres from the long, quiet beach of Maleme, mostly sandy but also pebbly. Only 5 km from Platanias centre and 16 km from Hania town, we are ideal for enjoying water sports, peaceful countryside walks, or interesting visits to archaeological and historical sites.

“I loved the calm, peaceful atmosphere — it felt like the perfect escape.”
Summer Lodge is a truly special place from the moment you arrive. Vassilis and Revekka are such wonderful hosts, always kind, thoughtful, and ready with a smile. And Valentina, who keeps everything sparkling clean, adds her own warmth and care that make the stay even more comfortable. Every little detail shows how much love the whole team puts into this place. The atmosphere is peaceful, welcoming, and full of charm - the perfect spot to relax and enjoy Crete. I loved them all, and I already can’t wait to come back in June next year. Thank you all for making me feel so welcome -see you soon!

“Summer Lodge is a Wonderful, charming hotel that gets almost everything right at a Very good price..”
Although a 30-40 minute bus ride from Chania town, Summer Lodge is a Fantastic place if you want to be away from the busy places. A peaceful and pretty hotel with a Lovely vibe...There are places nearby to get food and drink and the mostly deserted beach is just a few minutes walk away. The bus stops are close by also - So nothing was ever too much effort. The owners of the property were kind, chatty and helpful. And last but not least the two cats at the hotel were a Joy to be around !! If I get the chance to go back to Chania I would definitely stay at this hotel again !9

We particularly like this type of accommodation. Athena was very nice. We talked a lot and he recommended shops, restaurants and programs. He was always smiling. The room is clean and tidy, the garden is wonderful. Eating breakfast in the summer kitchen was a perfect start to the day.

“Sweet memories guaranteed”
As we arrived to Summer Lodge we felt instantly at home. The place is very relaxing and beautiful. You can always find a corner at the exotic garden to chill in the shade if you are tired from the beach. Athina and Vassilis greet us every day with a big smile and were always there when we had a question. It felt like to be in a family/ community really. Friendly, joyful, and generous with their Greek hospitality, no matter how busy they were! We have got everything we needed-bus timetable, outing Tipps, great interaction. Watermelon 😍 We liked our nice patio room very much and the pool! Laundry is possible too. The beach, coffee shops, grocery, restaurants, pharmacy within walking distance. Busses to everywhere are frequent. The busstop is 5 minutes walk away. We enjoyed our holidays very much und would love to come back to Summer Lodge again. Thank you very much!!

“Super friendly place with great pool”
The owners are incredibly nice. Always willing to help. Everyone that works there, in general, was very kind and attentive. They helped with anything I needed and resolved any inconvenience that might have happened. The place is lovely. The pool is a big plus. You have everything you need around: minimarket, pharmacies, 2 bus stops, some restaurants. The beach is a 5-minute walk away.

“Had a wonderful stay at this charming hotel.”
We love the relaxed, laid back vibe of the hotel, the warm welcome and the personal touches. The pool is lovely, calm and tranquil, we almost always had it to ourselves. We love sitting on our balcony overlooking the pool and relaxing. Very convenient location for the beach and nearby restaurants, and easy to hop on the bus outside or get picked up for day tours. It's a charming, traditional hotel, a wonderful quiet place to unwind. However if you are looking for glitz and glamour, this is not the hotel for you. Our second visit, and we will be back for more, it suits us just perfectly.
