This place is a gem! After traveling for seven months we were looking forward to a place where we could rest for a couple of weeks, before the end of our journey, in a quiet, rural environment but near interesting sites. We couldn't have found a better place at a better price. The discount offered in the off season is a great value for such nice place. The house was built with love, attention to detail and beauty in a rustic artsy style.
Very comfortable and cozy with everything one needs.
Lovely to wake up every morning to the songs of many birds in the trees surrounding us.
We felt right at home heating the house with wood because it was cold during our stay but there are other heating options so the house can be nice and warm.
There are many wonderful places to visit in Crete and in Voulismeni you are centrally located and within short distance and travel time to many main sites.
There is a small store in town and a cafe but in the neighbouring town, Neapoli, just a three minute drive, there are a couple of supermarkets, ATM, restaurants and cafes.
We cooked all our meals and did all our shopping in Neapoli or in the Agios Nikolaos, 13 k from the house.
The Wi-Fi worked great during most of our stay. When we first got there (on a Sunday) it wasn't working but Manolis had already called the company to get it fixed so we were able to connect on the next business day which was Tuesday because Monday was a holiday. The only other time the Wi-Fi failed was during a big storm but service was reestablished in a couple of days. It shouldn't be an issue during the high season when the weather is good.
It is much better if you rent a car to take advantage of your time in the island. We managed to find a place to park near the house, even right in front of the place, most of the time.

As a host, we give Manolis a 10+. He responded quickly to all our messages and sent us tons of information before our arrival.
When we arrived he met with us in Neapoli and took us around town to show us where to shop, the bank, restaurants, museum, etc. He did the same in Voulismeni, even showed us where some family members live in case we needed anything.
He had prepared the house for us supplied with firewood, plenty of blankets, towels, even enough food to cook our dinner and breakfast next morning anticipating that everything would be closed on Sunday.
He was very generous with his family's olive oil, homemade wine and raki too!
We had to ask for more firewood during our stay and the family brought us a ton more within a few days.
All in all an unforgettable experience and our favorite stay during our travels!
Thank you so much Manos!
