6/5 stars. Eleni’s place would get 5 stars on it’s own. The house is lovely and well maintained with great character. Relaxing by pool looking over countryside and breakfast on the porch with views of the mountains and sea were just spectacular. There are good bakeries and grocery within walking distance and the taverna around the corner served excellent, local dinner. What really pushes it over the top, however, is Eleni and her family. They provided home made food to welcome us, we’re very solicitous of our needs and were incredibly easy to contact and gracious when we locked ourselves out of the house within hours our arrival. We could not ask for better hosting and they really made our trip to Crete special. I would not hesitate to recommend staying.
