This is a lovely place to stay in a small village in a beautiful valley in western Crete, away from the crowds but easy to reach from Chania, for example. It's also pretty close to the beach at Elafonisi (about 15 to 20 minutes drive) which is one of the best in Crete for swimming and sunbathing if the sun is out. Also very near to the village of Elos, which has some great tavernas with good local food and friendly service (also plenty of Greek people there which is a good sign). We had breakfast on the last day (a small extra charge) which was delicious and huge!
