Irini's house is the perfect place to stay in Crete, and Irini is the best host one could wish for. She welcomed us in the house (even picked my sister up in Rethymno and took her to the house) and made us feel like home. The house is fully equipped with everything you need, it is super clean, spacious and the view is amazing. All in all this is the perfect house for a big family, two small families or a group of friends. We were six adults, two teenagers and a baby.
Irini was the best host I could ever imagine. She and her family helped us all through the stay by recommending beaches, trips and restaurants, getting fire woods for the BBQ and pizza oven (make pizzas while you’re here). Irini’s mom even made us little pies and we had fresh pomegranate from their garden.
The location of the house is good but you will need a car (which is super cheap). You will find supermarkets in the nearby town Panema, tavernas in the little village or in Panema and restaurants and shopping in Rethymno (30 min drive). We spent most of the days at the beaches in Balí (15 min drive) and the little coves around.
Irini and her family get the best recommendations from us.
