A beautiful little house which is what 'Spitaki' means. It is situated in a lovely small village but only a few minutes drive from everything that you need and there are two mini markets within walking distance. Beautiful courtyard terrace and a roof top terrace to enjoy the views. We were welcomed by Electra who came to meet us, left us so much fruit we couldn't eat it all in 3 days along with local produce and lovely flowers. We also got a leaving gift as we were there for olive harvesting time. The bedroom is spacious and is accessed by a steep turning staircase so not great for those with mobility issues. The bedroom leads to the roof terrace. The kitchen is traditional with an open fire and gas rings to cook on. If you are there out of season, with cloudy days the hot water which is solar powered might be a little less than hot. Bring earplugs for the enthusiastic cockerels in the olive groves just behind the house! Highly recommended for a slice of traditional Cretan hospitality.
