We were greeted by the hostess's mother with a home cooked meal and large gift basket even though we were late arriving from the airport. Layout, house rules and keys were reviewed and all questions were answered. She then kept in touch via email to ensure we had a lovely, relaxing stay. The house was cleaned and linens changed while we were out of the house. She came mid-week to check in on us and brought gifts for all the children. Restaurant recommendations and local amenities were discussed and much appreciated (all were wonderful). The listing is accurate, beautiful and well maintained. We had a family of 6 in the main house and extended family in the 'cave' house. We were all extremely pleased with the accommodations. We awoke to the roosters and goats in the morning, walked 2 minutes to the mini-mart to purchase eggs from the neighboring farm, and came home to have coffee and a family breakfast in the morning while overlooking the ocean and pool from the open terrace. Then we took excursions to Knossos, Kissamos, Falassarna Beach (20-25 min away), or Balos Lagoon (30 min rugged road then a hike to the lagoon (you could also take a boat)). The neighborhood is a quiet, small village with few tourists. I'm told there is very little (if any) crime. I would recommend having a car to get around. Mamas Dinner is upscale dining, but the local tavernas are outstanding as well. We spent a week here and can honestly say it was the most relaxing time I spent in Greece.
