Wow, how lucky do we feel having stayed with Antonia & her lovely family. We felt at home & well cared for from the second we arrived to the second we left.
The apartment is situated in a lovely area of Heraklion & is a 5 minute walk to a beautiful beach where we spent everyday swimming & relaxing.
Before we did anything Antonia drove us around Heraklion & pointed out the great places to eat & where to get the bus & tickets to the city centre, a very easy 15 minute bus journey into town. This was above & beyond sweet of her & helped us out so much.
We wanted to go to the beautiful spa with it's unique Thalassotherapy. Antonia again went out of her way, She went down to the spa & spoke to the supervisor & sorted us out with a great price for a package treatment ... It was sensational:)
The apartment is so sweet & we felt really at home there. Antonia gave us fresh eggs from her chickens to eat & a delicious rice pudding. When we got a little sunburnt She produced a miracle homemade oil
for us to apply.
On a practical note the apartment is in a great location, very clean & well looked after, prepared & cleaned with love by Antonia. It is near the shops, has a great wifi connection & plenty of hot water for a great shower after a hard day at the beach:)
Antonia & her family are the cherry on the cake & we LOVED our time there, we already miss it & can't wait to go back.
