My fiancé and I decided to stay here after seeing the pictures of the outdoor space. If you love gardens and nature, then this is the spot for you. All of the plants are healthy and thriving, and the wildlife is clearly very happy (yes, there are honeybees and wasps. No, they do not bother you). We spent one entire afternoon relaxing in the garden, and it was truly wonderful. I literally spent an hour looking at and photographing the giant cactus tree. The house itself was very clean and cool (with AC)! It was also well stocked. The only thing to note is that the upstairs is a bit outdated with bathroom sinks and showers that could have used a bit of updating (old faucets and one without a shower curtain and another that needed a place to hold the shower head). However, this was not an issue for us and are easy fixes. The surrounding area is so peaceful and beautiful, and Manos was very pleasant and responsive. You’re also not far by car (car rental recommended) from Heraklion! How could you not enjoy staying here?
