Hands down the best house AND host I’ve ever had! Ioanna was extremely thoughtful, helpful and sweet. She met us in an area nearby the bnb to escort us up to the house. Driving in Europe through the right spaces is new to me, she even stopped at certain points to alert me of changes in the road and pointed out a great mom and pop restaurant on the way up. The way to the house had motion sensed lighting so if you’re walking back you can find it just fine!
When we got in the house she gave us flowers she picked fresh from her garden. The scent filled the room they smelled SO Good. She gave us a tour and pointed out places to go from the balcony! She gifted us with a bottle of local wine that we devoured and had snacks for us as well! Everything you need is in the kitchen. Coffee, tea, seasonings, pots, pans, plates etc. Everything was decorated so cute and neat, and modern with some rustic touches. The house is just beautiful. Gorgeous view. My husband and I were both very impressed it looked just like the pictures except better and also the bathroom has been updated I think.
Please read the history of Plantanias, Chania-Crete and the history of the house! I didn’t realize it had such historical importance. You will also find many suggestions and detailed instructions of what to do and where to eat. I have 2 regrets: I did not stay long enough. I would stay at least 4 days here! The second is staying only two days I should have spent more time in the local area but instead we drove to the other end of the island. There is such beauty in Plano Plantanias I would have rather walked around the area near the house and tour Chania. But we ran out of time. Also on this island they do not like you to flush toilet paper so keep that in mind! Toss it in the trash instead. It’s different than what we are used to but the bathrooms never smelled bad!
Anyway, just come here! Ioanna is a jewel and her husband helped us out SO MUCH! I appreciate how caring they are. <3
