The description and pictures are good and accurate, but they don't do do justice to this place. It's fantastic and the owners are warm, generous, and helpful.
The interior of the house is pristine. Very pristine. It's obvious that the hosts really care for the house. It is also well-appointed. There's everything you would expect to have at home, particularly in regard to kitchen and bathroom essentials. The internet works great and the linens and towels are crisp and clean.
The exterior is as clean and well-maintained as the interior. There's a huge patio with a big table, an outdoor shower, and each room has its own balcony. You'll feel like a millionaire in you're in your own mountaintop compound.
The area surrounding the house is majestic. Situated on top of a hill and entirely surrounded by mountains, the property overlooks an orchard and olive trees. The views are breathtaking. At night, you can even see the Milky Way! If you stay in the summer, you can treat yourself to the garden: fresh zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes, onions, plums, lemons, and a range of wild herbs.
The only downside is actually part of the upside: it is remote. The narrow driveway winds you around a lot of twists and turns before opening up onto the very well-light and stately property. But, hey, you're renting a car in Crete, so you already know the road conditions, ha. :-)
Despite feeling remote, the property is actually pretty close to all of the big attractions in western Crete: You're in the middle of the Innahorion villages, Elafonisi is (a beautiful) 40 minute drive, the north coast is 40 minutes, the Paliochora ferry is 40 minutes, and Balos is an hour. It's the perfect spot if you want good access to everything instead of committing to the north/south side. There are also a couple of nice restaurants within 10 minutes.
I can't recommend this place enough. It's an exceptional value, so book it before someone else does!!!
