Konstantina’s place is perfect if you are looking for a beach holiday that is both far enough from crowds for peace and privacy, while also being a short drive from amazing food and beaches. It’s really so much better in person, the modernisation is subtile and based more around modern comforts, while the styling pays a nice homage to the time of her great-grandparents who I believe the home first belonged to. Spacious, cool, comfortable, clean and beautiful scenery & sounds on the large raised porch area. The tree’s have grown larger than in the photos and provide a lot of shade for the house and yourself in the midday sun.
Some positive things to note if you’ve had a few summer holidays and are used to hard beds and insects at night - this place has the comfiest bed and sofa/sofa-beds and also has fly screens on all doors and windows excluding only the main door.
Konstantina is a wonderful host! She met us even when we were an hour earlier than we expected and gave us genuine, helpful and local tips while also leaving us with plenty of maps and books about Crete. We only saw her once more to say goodbye, but knew we were more than welcome to ask for any advice throughout the stay. You can tell she’s passionate about the area too! We miss the place already and would go back in a heart-beat.
