Just returned from a wonderful week at Dimitra's Vintage Yard, Agia Pelagia. As per the other reviews, Maria and family have created a fantastic home from home. They have thought of everything. The house is so well equipped with all you could possibly need and tastefully decorated with some really lovely pieces from their family history. The highlight however, is the warm welcome from Maria who treats you like one of her family - spoiling us with delicious home-made treats and readily available for advice and information, without intrusion e.g. Maria sorted the 30 min taxi transfers to/ from Heraklion airport for us for a decent price and no stress.
The house is in a residential back street, only 5 mins walk from Agia Pelagia beach and a decent choice of bars and restaurants. There are a further 2 bays to visit within a 25 minute walk in either direction (Ligaria and Mononaftis). For car hire we used CarSpot (just round the corner, by the beach) who offer a fully insured, small car for about 40euros a day, if you want to venture further afield.
It was a pleasure to meet Maria, stay in her beautiful house, and enjoy the garden. We were very sad to leave and would happily recommend Dimitra's Vintage Yard to others.
