This charming little house with beautiful kitchen-garden is outside of the main tourist area and hustle & bustle but not too remote. The location, with stunning sunset views, is surrounded by olive groves and creates a holiday connected to nature, with daily visits from sheep, sometimes a little pig runs past, and a grand chorus of the sound of Greece - the Cycades. It provides a traditional & authentic Cretan experience, connecting with locals who manage the land in this rural end of Falassarna. Our host provided a welcome basket of fresh local produce and organic eggs upon our arrival, and as he tended the green-houses next to the house daily, he was never too far away, if anything was needed. The facilities provided all that we needed for our stay. There is a superb taverna, only a 5-minute walk down to the shore, ran by a beautiful friendly family. Besides the house, this is the best place to watch the sun go down, with freshly caught fish dishes and homegrown fresh produce. We absolutely loved the off-grid reboot feeling from this holiday, and made so many new friends from nearby. Will return soon.
