Ugh, I miss this place already. We were the first to stay in the Nightingale nest, and it was AMAZING.
You'll stay in an anthentic and beautiful Cretan village, literally in the middle of olives fiels. It's quiet, it's very charming. With a car, the location is perfect, you're 5 minutes away from the first beach, 15 Chania. You can enjoy all the tourist stuff, without being drowned in it. It's like a castle surronding everything.
The house is great ! and beautiful ! we loved it, and felt at home in minutes. The beds (from the grand mother !) are good, it wasn't too hot. Everything fits the descreption perfectly, no bad surprise ! It's a pleasure, after a day in the lagoon of Elafonissi to come back and relax under the shadow of the olive trees of the garden. With some Cretan wine, cheese and olive oil obviously.

Finally, the most important, our host, Nikos. He's awesome. Anastasia and him welcomed us with raki (cretan alcohol) ouzo, and food, took the time to show us the house, took a map to show us where to go, what to see, give us tips about food and restaurants.
Anastasia also came right back after we locked ourself outside (yeah, keep those key always with you)
Then on the last day Nikos came to check on us before our departure, to see if everything was alright, it was very kind. And guess what ? He bringed more Cretan specialities with him ! (My parents loved the delicious wedding honey pastry, Nikos, thank you. And the croissants were very good, it's a French speaking)

If you're looking to discover the true Cretan hospitality and way of life, while totally enjoying your holidays, the Nightingale nest is a stop you won't regret. More than a nest, it's a gemme.

Super maison dans un petit village Crétois ! Au calme, au milieu des oliviers, et paf en 5 minutes vous êtes dans la succession de stations balnéaires / plages restaurants de l'Ouest de la Crete. Les avantages, sans les inconvénients ! Maison super agréable, conforme, charmante, on se sent comme chez soi tout de suite, ça a beaucoup de charme. Les lits sont ceux de la grand mère ! Comme pas mal d'objets de décos très anciens. L'electro ménager lui, est bien moderne rassurez vous. Super emplacement, super maison, et Nikos est un hôte très attentionné !
