We really enjoyed our stay at Maria’s place and it exceeded our expectations! The check-in was totally seamless and the place was spotless and new. Everything was top-of-the line from the floor-to-ceiling sliding doors to the super-comfy bed. The hot tub, often a place where things don’t work as expected, was fully functional and provided a great view. The view is actually much nicer than we expected from the pictures as, when looking off to the side, you can see the harbor. Maria, very thoughtfully, had left us a bottle of wine to help us settle in and all the small details were thought of, from having a kitchen tray and all the supplies that we needed. She was also available and very responsive throughout our stay with suggestions of where to go for dinner, etc. The location was perfect. Relatively easily accessible (i.e. not in the super narrow streets of central Sitia) and a short, 7-10 minute walk to the center where we enjoyed great dinners. We cannot recommend Maria’s place highly enough.
