The house is just perfect if you want a get-away from masses and everyday noise - located on top of a hill, surrounded by the mountains and a lot of nature to drink in. The inside was meticulous clean and very welcoming. Even if it was still a little bit cold and windy, I could not resist to use the private pool. There is a barbecue in the garden and we enjoyed to eat on any of the many terraces (we used one for breakfast, one for dinner, depending on the sun). A car is necessary to get there and around. For us it was a very good starting point for our hiking trips and some sightseeing.
Costis and his family take very well care of the house and their guests. Costis greeted us warmly and gave us a tour of the house. We found some food in the fridge, when we arrived. They also provided us with some local products as olive oil, raki or honey and his mother cooked some moussaka one day. We really enjoyed it - no exaggeration, it was the best I ever had. The word hospitality is not only a word - when the wifi went down (later on we figured out it was a provider problem) Costis came over on short notice and even went on the roof to try to fix the problem. His brother comes every day to clean the pool - and that was quite some work while we were there because there happened to be lots of sand in the wind on one day.
To sum it up: we returned home relaxed and happy after our vacation and can only recommend this place to everyone- we will definitely return if we come to Crete again.
