We are 5 friends, stayed for 2 weeks in the Cottage. Maria is an amazing and welcoming hoster, and house itself it's charming. It has all needed stuff and even more than we can expect ( there were a lot of such things, like welcoming fruits&cakes from Maria or electronic piano in the house:)). Kitchen is special place I like, It's very well organized and I got some tips "how-to-do" for my house from it. Garden near the house seems ideal place for kids.
In general, house decoration is so nice, it has an own character. We enjoyed every day here :)
As per area, it's located in quite small village (but with few bigger in 1-2 km) so we enjoyed with no people on the beach in 50m around you. We travelled mostly by car, but also on buses - bus stop is in 50 m from cottage, then after 35 min you are in big city Chania, which itself is nice and where a lot of directions are presented.
What else.. All questions we have Maria solved in quickest way we can imagine.
Positive impressions are much more than I can translate to words, to be honest. Thank you very much Maria&family for our incredible stay at Crete!
