Tasos and his mother Marianna have redefined the meaning of "Filoxenia", or Hospitality (caring for your guests as if they were your own family).
On the first night when we arrived, Marianna invited us to the rooftop for us to join her family and local friends for a dinner. Her food was exquisite, as most of the ingredients were from her family farm. We felt right at home, and right away knew that this stay was going to be very comfortable and loving.
We have a 1-year-old, and Marianna would bring her eggs almost every morning from her farm. We have never experienced this kind of care and kindness in any Airbnb, Hotel, or another kind of stay.
The apartment building is new, and the finishings are impressive. Everything is very clean and in its place. The appliances were all super, the kitchen was well stocked, and the welcome gifts of their homemade red wine, Raki, fruit, and the home-baked cake was much appreciated. Yet another special touch...
Tasos was very helpful and all of his local recommendations were spot-on. They also had very detailed instructions on the surrounding region in their welcome guide, as well as probably the best internet in all of Crete.
My wife and daughter and I stayed there for an entire month, and after the first week, we truly felt like this was our new home. The only reason I am giving this stay a 5-star rating is that there is no 6-star option available.
Thank you!!!!!! We will be back!!!!
