Gay owned and run accommodation, and lodgings, bed and breakfast hotel and inn for the independent gay and lesbian travel ler near Hersonissos, Crete, Greece
Opened in 2004, Villa Ralfa is a small, private independent guesthouse providing a self contained apartment and ‘bed and breakfast’ accommodations for gay and lesbian travel lers to Crete, Greece.
Since our opening we have entertained visitors from as far away as Australia, New Caledonia, Canada, USA, and, of course, many GLBT travellers from Europe, with our own particular brand of hospitality, providing friendly relaxed surroundings!
Each year we try to offer something new and in keeping with a gay home stay style of accommodation and 2011 is no exception, so by popular request, we now have a double bed in our bed and breakfast, gay and lesbian homestay accommodation. For that added touch of comfort and luxury our bed and breakfast room uses silky smooth 200 thread count sheets. Naturally we have retained our giveaway Roger and Gallet soaps on arrival for guests staying more the seven nights and guests staying more than three nights receive a free pair of slippers which they are welcome to take home with them!
As usual we will again be offering a free BBQ to residents (bring your own drinks please!), on Thursdays, and with our good local knowledge we are able to assist you with planning your holiday on Crete, Greece.
We offer you -
• Self catering, self contained apartment
• Bed and breakfast accommodation
• Close to transport links and main tourist and archaeological sites
• Short or longer term
• Easy parking
• Garden (with dog!)
• Guest lounge with balcony and a selection of books
• Free broadband Internet access with wireless access for your laptop
• Complimentary slippers to take home with you
• Bathrobes available on request
Welcome to Villa Ralfa, the first guesthouse on Crete, Greece especially for the independent LGBT traveller.
Crete is the largest of the Greek islands, (you can click on the map, left, to see all of Greece to scale) and offers much for the gay and lesbian traveller to see and do, from long walks, scenic drives, crystal clear blue seas, excellent Cretan food using the freshest ingredients, to nightlife hectic and sedate.
If your idea of a good holiday is go out at 10pm and get back at 5am, then that is fine by us, but you should also try and visit Crete someday. As we live here all year round (so if you want to visit in winter....), we know our way around and can suggest day trips and evenings out to suit most tastes. And pockets.
