We spent one night here on a side trip from Chania in order to see Falassarna Beach--if only we could have stayed longer! Basilios met us at the house to check us in. He was incredibly hospitable and welcoming, even bringing us some traditional Cretan spirits. He told us to contact us with anything we needed. The house is situated in the midst of olive tree orchards and farmland. It is a short drive from the beaches, but has a superb view of the sea. The house itself is clean, cozy, and very well-kept. The loft is a perfect place for kids to have adventures. The yard is landscaped with herbs--fragrant rosemary, mint, and basil, as well as fruit and olive trees. Our favorite part of the trip was sitting in front of the house as the sun set in front of us, and watching the stars emerge into a quiet, peaceful night. Simply put, Falassarna is stunning. Well worth the visit. Mathios' place was the perfect place to enjoy what the area has to offer.
