What a gorgeous place to stay for our first week in Crete. Georgia’s renovated old house in a village outside of Heraklion was so charming and character filled with beautiful artistic touches . It has absolutely everything you need . We particularly enjoyed the courtyard and hammock! Things to be aware of are that the bathroom is separate to the house and you need to go through the courtyard which was totally fine mostly but a little trickier in the rain! You also really need a car as there is no PT and you have to travel to most places . The village has a couple of mini Marts and a chemist but no tavernas or cafes with food available. We cooked quite a bit in the charming kitchen! Georgia could not have been kinder or more helpful. She rescued us when we got lost on the way to the house and ordered us take out food to be delivered on the night of our arrival as we were exhausted from travel. She also checked in regularly and felt more like a friend than a host . Definitely recommend this house if you want a more authentic character filled accommodation experience ( with all the mod cons , internet , smart tv, aircon) . We will be back!
