Staying at Gina's place in Mourné has been one of my best Airbnb experience ever. The restored country house is located in the hills of central Crete in a key position between Rethymno and Agia Galini and taking it as a base you can reach so many beautiful spots, most notable the beaches of the South (Preveli, Ligres, Triopetra etc) but also the hills and the Amari valley where you can easily find a lovely trekking to do. The house itself is simply perfect. I love this kind of ancient house where you can feel the vibes of the past, where the walls could tell stories and the atmosphere is so cozy. Gina was very welcoming and she was waiting for us together with her "happy family" composed of 4 dogs, the 3 "sisters" (puppies) and many cats. I love animals and for me it was a pleasure to spend time with them on the top terrace of the house or playing in the patio.
Gina is so talkative and she really made us feel the love she has for this place and her decision to move to this beautiful island.
The apartment for guests is incredibly cozy, it has two floors. On the ground floor there is a bedroom with a double bed and a single one. The mattresses are the most comfortable I've ever experienced in my life and we slept as babies. You have a private bathroom with shower and WC. On the basement a living room which we didn't use as it was spring time and we were always outside enjoying the beautiful weather.
A basic breakfast is provided as you have coffee, tea, yoghurt, walnuts (from Gina's trees), honey and muesli at your disposal. We loved to have our breakfast on the terrace overviewing the calm and nice village of Mourné.
Overall a place not-to-miss if you look for the authentic Crete and the calmness and quietness of its hills.
