We love this place and ended-up staying an extra night. This cottage is immaculately presented and so thoughtfully appointed, we had beyond what we could need for our stay here. As with all of our experiences in Crete so far, the hospitality was warm and generous. Although we didn't get to meet Thalia in person we did meet her mother, who of course greeted us with delicious home baked pies! The reviews from other previous guests are accurate and we can highly recommend Thalia's place as base to explore West Crete.
