We spent 3 weeks at the house end of September into October and the house is just like you can see in the pictures, very nice and clean. It was actually already a little cold „up in Neo Chorio“ at that point to really use the pool, unfortunately. It’s always a bit colder than down at the sea in e.g. Kalyves. With temperatures around 22-23 degree the pool was too cold, especially for kids. The pool is really deep, so short adults and kids Can not stand or sit anywhere in the pool. We had a week of rain all in all but took trips to the south with our Rental car.
Manolis and Dina were very helpful with everything and always available for any questions.
There were millions of mosquitoes so we eventually decided to only eat inside when we ate at the house.
It would have been good to know that the neighbors had very many cats since my husband is allergic to them and they were alaways around the house, ob the terrace and trying to get in the house.
It took about a week until the kids weren’t scared of them anymore.
The area is beautiful if you enjoy being remote and by yourself. The mountains in the „backyard“ are breathtaking and the view of the coats as well.
It’s only short trips to Rhetymno and Chania and it’s a good place to explore the island from.
All in all we would come and visit again, but with kids we would maybe go somewhere where there are maybe some other guests. We thought the other houses are also holiday rental homes, but are privately owned.
Dina came to change towels and linen every week which was super nice.
Would totally recommend.
