Velani Country Hotel - Crete

Experience Level

Sun and Riding

4 star rating   10 September 2023

Tine (this is their first In The Saddle holiday) It has generally been a fantastic holiday, with good horses, good experiences and nice people - both the hosts and the other guests.
However, there was a lack of information from the hosts about which rides we were going on the different days and which horse you had on the days (I have had 5 different horses in 6 days). You only got the information when you stood in the stable in the morning - so it was difficult to plan accordingly.

Do you have any comments about the accommodation and food?

The food was generally super good, delicious and varied with both meat and vegetables. However, a bit of a shame that they serve the exact same bread three times a day when the other food is so good.
