This is a fabulous stone cottage in a quiet hillside town. The place was cool even in the heat of August (used the ac only once) and the terrace is a great spot to look out over the valley in the evenings. A short drive to several beaches, tavernas and the Palace of Phaistos. Emmanouel was in regular contact from when he handed over the keys in Heraklion till I checked out. When something went wrong (oven did not work), his neighbors kindly let me use their's instead. He also recommended some good place to eat. One note of caution. You will need a car is you are staying here and a small car will be much easier to park at the house.
