My partner and I had the most amazing holiday at Stone House. It is beautifully decorated and is in the middle of an olive tree field. It offers perfect privacy and is especially good for Coronavirus times. The kitchen has everything you need to make a nice meal, we cooked almost every day.
Outside you can sunbathe and enjoy the view in the sunbeds or cool down using the outdoor shower (there is an indoor shower too). In the evening you can watch the awesome sunsets and the starry sky.
To get there, bear in mind you need a car and Stone House is situated in the mountains, so there is a lot of going up and down. But once you arrive, the location is 100% worth the trip.
The west side of Crete is a bit more rural, but really charming.
Giannis was extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful. Follow his advice on which places around to visit and you won't be sorry! If you want to go to Elafonisi, follow his directions and not online maps, as they try to take you on a much longer route. I highly recommend staying at Stone House if you can, 5/5! Thank you Giannis!
