What can I say about Donna's place other than I loved it! The house itself is stunning, filled with glass ornaments and decor, all handmade by our hostess. There is such a peaceful and relaxing feeling to the house.
For us the location was just fine. It is close to Heraklion airport. The bus stop is easily walkable, just down the road, and it is a short ride into downtown. We rented a car and therefore purposely chose to stay out of the city and as central as we could to our locations of interest, such as the Palace of Knossos, the museums of Heraklion and the caves of Matala. After a long and full day, it was perfect coming home to peace and quiet and relaxing on the balcony, looking at the stars.
As for our hostess Donna, I just love her!!! I wish we could stay longer and have more conversations with her. We would have loved to get to know her better. I can say she was so kind, thoughtful and welcoming. We really felt right at home. She was always available to answer any and all of our questions. I would highly recommend staying at Donna's place.
Thank you Donna!
