We had simply an amazing time at this beautiful, calm retreat. It corresponds exactly to the images and the idea you make yourself of spending a real moment of quietness, peacefulness and relaxation at a wonderful cottage style small house where you wake up every morning to the wonderful smell of flowers and citrus groves and the beautiful sound of birds and bees flying around. The neighbors of the secluded village of Kontomari will greet you warmly when you sit outside sipping your morning coffee in the sun while they drive to their surrounding olive orchards. The warm welcoming of the owner, little signs of attention like yummy Raki, grapes and olive oil make the barbecues in the evening a real joy. We were extremly sad to have to leave this little gem after 1 week, but are certain to come back to take even more time to relax in the beautiful nature of Crete. Thank you from the heart.
