Other reviews were absolutely right in describing a very nice house with a magnificent view. a large terrace with balconies in every room. House is impecably clean and the AC is quiet. You need a rental car in order to access the property. The owners went out of their way to make us feel welcome and had a gift spread on the kitchen table with olives, breads, raki, jams, and raisins from their garden: more than we were able to consume. They even offered to provide us with a BBQ supper that we had to politely decline because of our trip schedule. Daratsos is ideally situated to explore western Crete. You can't ask for nicer hosts and we would go back if we were to return to the same area.
