We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay at Spitaki! The house is lovingly restored with tasteful attention to detail, in a traditional Cretan style. Set away from the touristic areas, the house is situated on the outskirts of a charming village that is full of life and has a vibrant sense of community. Thodoris and Electra are wonderful hosts and made us feel more than welcome, it was a real pleasure to meet them and we felt very looked after as guests with numerous little touches like being given fruit and vegetables from their garden. They went to great lengths to make us feel at home, and it really exceeded our expectations. It was easy to find a range of tavernas serving excellent food, the friendly and family-run village taverna in particular. Nearby Kissamos is an unspoilt town with plenty of beaches in and around it. Thodoris and Electra are able to recommend sites of interest around Western Crete, which are all a short drive away. Overall, a unique and memorable experience! We do not hesitate to recommend it!
