Exceptional place for a family vacation.
Owner Savas is an architect with a knack for tasteful furnishings and local materials.
The house is off-the-beaten-track (so much so that some navigation systems fabricate complicated routes to get there) next to an olive grove in the mountains above Stavromenos, 25 minutes from Rethyimno.
The view is breathtaking, the salt-water pool is heated and was very clean. Sunset are sublime.
The kitchen has a sufficient equipment for every need - dishwasher included.
Savas makes sure, you will have a great stay. He communicates well and fast.
The next bakery is 13 km away, so stock up on supplies or be prepared to drive to meals.
I would highly recommend the place, if you look for a super-relaxing vacation away from it all.
If you feel like having people and entertainment around you most of the time, you‘re probably better off in another place. That’s why there‘s four stars for „location“ - if you like vistas and solitude, you would probably want to give a sixth star here :-).
