We had a wonderful stay at Stavros’ home. He and his family go above and beyond and even shared with us some Cretan delicacies as well as fresh grapes from their vines!
The views are stunning, and the location is convenient since it is just up the hill (15min walk) from the cute village and beautiful clear beach Almyrida. It was also a good base for us to go and visit other parts of western Crete (beaches, Samaria Gorge, Chania).
An important thing to note is that this place is at the top of a steep hill and the end of the road/drive way is unpaved and very rocky. I would highly suggest getting a rental car/jeep that has insurance for unpaved roads. You have to drive up in 1st gear and rocks fly up everywhere hitting the car.
Overall, a very beautiful home and I would highly suggest it.
