10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
My family and I had a wonderful stay here. The place is a pleasure to stay in and the view is amazing. We made plenty of use of the outdoor area under the lemon tree also.
The waterfront shops and restaurants are walkable but it is steep and was harder on the really hot days.
We'd highly recommend this for anyone staying in Sfakia.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2024
The property was perfect, spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. The property facilities make for a great holiday.
The location is fantastic within easy walk of local Tavernas, Bakery, etc.
Christina is the perfect host, on hand if required and very helpful.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jun 2023
We had a wonderful time in the beautiful house and in the quiet part of the island. The hosts were very friendly and supported us in every question we had.
A good location to be close to wonderful tracks and small beaches.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2022
This was our second time staying at the beautiful Well House and it was just as wonderful as we remembered. Alexandra was super helpful getting everything organised before we arrived. And Christina, out host could not have been kinder or lovelier. We had such a quiet, special week - days under the lemon tree and our nights eating out under the stars.
