Our stay at Yiannis's house exceeded all expectations. From the incredible hospitality upon arrival (from him and his mother) to his support as we checked out, he couldn't have been a more gracious, welcoming, or helpful host (he's also very quick to reply to all communications). You'll notice right away the great pride he takes in the home, and rightfully so. It is immaculately kept, every room clean and well maintained. The bedrooms are sunny and comfortable, with plenty of storage space to unpack. The 2 bathrooms are roomy, though the downstairs shower is somewhat cosy. The kitchen is fully stocked (and Yiannis provided some get-started food supplies in the fridge), the living space is plentiful, the pool is gorgeous and easy to enjoy (we did use a citronella candle for twilight hours), and the surrounding olive grove makes the whole place feel quite private. Our family of 5 had well more than enough room. The closest markets are less than 10 min by car, enticing small beaches only a little further, and Rethymnon 15 min. In all, we could hardly have been happier with selecting to stay here, and can easily see ourselves coming back. If you're looking for a memory-making place that represents the best of Crete (beauty, comfort, sunshine, relaxation, and wonderful local people), look no further than Yiannis's.
