Theodore and Giorgia have been the kindest, most generous, and most helpful hosts we have had the pleasure of interacting with over the ten years or so that we have been traveling on Airbnb.
The deck space is very comfortable and the view is stunning, the pictures don’t do it justice. You’re perched up on a high hillside with few houses around, the air is fresh, the sunsets are perfect. We were very happy with the location.
There are several local beaches that you can reach in under 10min by car (we rented), and restaurants in Heraklion were lovely also, and close enough to drive to in the evening.
On our arrival, Giorgia had left us a fresh cake loaf, a bowl of homemade fig biscuits, and a lovely fruit bowl, as well as a fridge stocked with water, juice, butter, and homemade apricot jam. The pantry was stocked with coffee, sugar, olive oil, etc. Shortly after we arrived, Theodore asked if he could bring down some food his mother had cooked. What followed was an absolutely delicious meal: Greek salad with what must have been local produce, bread and home made hummus, aubergine stuffed with beef and feta and baked in a delicious tomato sauce, and a bottle of chilled white wine. What a welcome!!! In the next days, Giorgia sent us down a few other treats, a highlight was the fried bananas and cheese triangles drizzled in honey. My goodness, these two were lovely hosts!
The house itself is beautiful, the interior is clean, modern, spacious, and comfortable, the fittings and furniture are very high quality, the kitchen well appointed.
The three dogs were also a highlight and delight to have as company from time to time!
Thank you Theodore and Giorgia!
