My name is Sofia and I'm from Sweden. I have lived in Platanias since 1995 and been working as a guide, waitress, receptionist, school teacher in the Swedish school in Chania and now as a Hotel Manager in our family business Sonio Beach in Platanias. After 20 years of work in the tourism area, I have learned a lot of things although still every day there are new challenges with new guests and new situations. I always aim to give all my guests the absolute top quality service. It would be a pleasure to getting to know you and to have you with us in our hotel. "Destination Platanias", is my last project. It's a Front desk online where I give information and tips about the village and the area of western Crete. You are welcome to visit the site. I have three children with Stathis, who is the owner of our Restaurant. He is taking care of you all the very best way and I assure you that you there will get to feel the famous Cretan Hospitality. NEW! NEW! NEW! Join me at my wonderful walking tours in Platanias village between the olive -and orange trees, every week all summer and of course for FREE!

Sonio Beach - Que Bella Collection is during the last twenty years one of Platanias' most well known and popular hotels. We have managed to have returning guests coming back visiting us year after year. Sonio Beach family with its Greek-Swedish and Italian background has created for you a concept we today call "Que Bella Collection". It's a collection that slowly grew up with passion and includes studios, apartments, pool areas, and a restaurant, all in sweet beautiful style. Sonio Beach- Que Bella Collection is offering many new renovated rooms. We aim to make all rooms full of details that make your stay with us feel unique. A good quality pillow or bed madras can make a miracle.

Sonio Beach-Que Bella Collection is situated at Beach Front and just a few hundreds of meters from Platanias square. Nearby you can find water sports, restaurants, shops and smaller bars. Its a very calm area and the main road takes you to Platanias square or to the next village Gerani. Here in Platanias you will find everything you need for a fantastic holiday.
