VanGos's place is a huge and beautiful home. Rustic but luxurious at the same time, on top of a hill with lots of fruit trees and the smell of herbs and lavender in the air, the sound of goats nearby. The listing represents the place accurately. The kitchen was the most well-stocked we've experienced for an AirBnb; there's lots of spices, oil, pasta in the cupboards but VanGos also stocked it with a fresh supply of vegetables, fruit, yogurt, water, etc before we arrived. This was very appreciated as the place is in a remote village with no restaurants or grocery stores nearby.
There is a steep and narrow dirt road to get there, which is dark at night. You should only stay here if you feel comfortable driving in such conditions. You will need to remember how to get there following VanGos's directions, as you will not be able to follow map apps.
VanGos goes above and beyond as a host. He met us for check-in in a nearby town and had us follow him so we knew how to get there. He had lots of fantastic suggestions for places to eat and things to do. We wanted this to be a relaxing vacation, so instead of doing research while in Crete, we just followed a bunch of his suggestions and were very happy with all our experiences.
We would recommend this place for people looking to just relax in a quiet, remote place, who don't mind cooking while on vacation. It is not for people who want to cram their days with lots of sightseeing, or who need to be near restaurants/nightlife while in Crete. For us it was perfect.
