Five stars are not enough! Pamela, Lefteris, Alekos and their family introduced us to a new level of hospitality.
The property itself is a very nice, clean and bright two-bedroom apartment set on a hillside with views of Heraklion and the Mediterranean. The welcome we received was as authentic as it was warm and the fruit, vegetables and fresh cakes were only the beginning. Our entire stay with Pamela and Alekos was absolutely fantastic! It was like we were visiting our family. Whatever we needed Pamela immediately organized it for us or made sure we knew where to get it. She always made sure we were happy with everything and is just a very friendly person with a huge heart. She made us feel comfortable, cared for and like we are part of the family. When she learned that we were food lovers and came to Crete to experience the local cuisine she started sharing traditional and delicious Greek dinners and cakes with us that she made for her family. She even taught us how to cook some of them which was a great experience! She knew how to make us happy and did whatever she could to make the lockdown more bearable.
The very clean and homey flat has everything we could wish for. The bedrooms are spacious, the kitchen very well equipped and the central heating made the flat warm very quickly. The view from the property is simply marvellous! In short, we loved it and we do highly recommend staying with this lovely and big-hearted family!
