We had a fantastic stay at The Stone House. Our family group of four stayed for a week and were welcomed right away with a feast of local food and drink, which was a delight. The house is very comfy and spacious with attractive and fun decor. We loved the patio; it was our favorite "room". The kitchen has everything you need to prepare family meals (no microwave). It's easy to travel through the Heraklion area from this location but use your satellite view to check out the routes first--if it looks like you're being sent through crazy steep vineyard paths, choose another road! The neighborhood is picturesque and the keepers of the tavern next to the house provide friendly advice and a cozy nook for meeting locals. An altogether wonderful vacation spot.
