It was awesome to stay in a traditional home in a local village! We were met by our host Yanni who was very accommodating. The home was clean, updated and well appointed. Two of the 4 bedrooms are in separate buildings on the property and are en-suite with bath and are very private. Bedroom 3 and 4 are in main house with kitchen, dining and living area, and shared bath. The 4th bedroom lacks a bit of privacy as it is loft style with open walls, above bedroom 3. This was fine for us, but you must be cognizant that noises from kitchen/ dining area will be heard by anyone in loft bedroom. Also this a stone house, and while very quaint, some might be surprised by the lack of windows. We thought it was a really cool place. Pool and hot tub were nice for kicking back after daily adventures! You get all the local feel with neighbors tending to their gardens, dogs and cats making friends, and celebrations occurring at the church nearby. Local taverns were also great to explore, some within walking distance. Everywhere we went, we were welcomed with warm, Grecian hospitality! We did encounter a water issue due to a broken pipe in town, and as soon as we alerted our host, he called the municipality to see what was happening, kept us informed, and brought many bottles of water to get us over the hump. We could not ask for more and would recommend this home without hesitation and would absolutely stay here again!

Great layout for our family of 9. We had 3 separate families and it accommodated us well. The pool and hot tub were beautiful and great outdoor space was enjoyed by all. We had a toddler traveling with us, so we did have to be cautious for his safety on this property.
Beautiful village setting with quaint authentic eatery in walking distance.
We did have difficulty finding the property and streets were difficult to navigate with our large van. We arrived later than expected due to this. A different check in process would be helpful to avoid owner waiting. We also had an issue with the air conditioner in one unit and hot water. All in all, a beautiful accommodation

We enjoyed every minute of our stay in Crete. First off, a rental car is probably needed in order to get around the island and certainly to navigate to the rental. The rental is tricky to find. We ended up called our contact and he navigated the way for us. The rental is in a lovely town. We used the services through the booking agent to arrange a taxi for our son and his friend from the airport. We also arranged two boating trips which were the highlight of the stay. Our favorite locations on the island were 1. Preveli Beach on the south side of the island (amazing hike to get there and it's stunning!) 2. Balos lagoon (via boat) and 3. exploring Rethymnon - eating at the restaurants overlooking the bay.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Apr 2023
We enjoyed our stay here very much. The owner was very responsive to our needs. He brought us pastries and stocked the refrigerator with food. The property has a lot of space and would be great for multiple couples as each room allows for a lot of privacy. The outdoor space was very nice and the home is close to a small village. This property was a great choice for our family of six. There was an additional space we didn’t even need to use. We highly recommend staying here.
