This house was extremely charming. In fact, it was more charming than we expected based on the photos. It was very comfortable, with air conditioning in all but one bedroom. (And the bedroom without air conditioning is in the rock of the lower level, thus naturally cool.) The pool is very nice. The location is convenient...a few km to decent beaches, and fairly easy access to all other parts of Western Crete. From the house, we visited many parts of Western Crete.

The hosts provided us with home made olive oil, red wine, and Tsikoudia (also known as Raki)! The hosts were very helpful.

When you head down the hill from Xirokampi, you can go left (west) to Maleme or right (east) to Gerani. We found the Maleme direction to be nicer.
