We have had wonderful stay at Xrysoula’s beautiful home. We enjoyed the calm energy of the house, the gentle breeze meandering through the rooms in the heat of the midday sun and the amazing views from the windows. The house has a well equipped kitchen, incredibly comfortable beds and a fabulous garden. Every little detail was cared for - from local recommendations, candles, toiletries, to home made olive oil, wine and raki. We were spoilt to home cooked food on arrival and half way through our stay which was absolutely delicious and provided an extra lovely personal touch to our stay. The local taverna is brilliant and has spectacular views over the mountains - it truly is farm to table cooking. We had a fantastic time exploring the west coast of Crete and its spectacular beaches - all of which are 20 - 50 minutes away. Our favourites included Mavros Molos (20 minute drive to Kissamos) where there are lovely beach front cafes, and Falassarna where you can enjoy long stretches of sand and sea and unforgettable sunsets. We always appreciated returning to the tranquil setting in the hills after a long day in the sun. If you're looking for a peaceful stay tucked away in the mountains, this is the perfect place to you.
