This is an amazing little house in close proximity to the city of Chania (about 15 minute drive). It is one of two independent cottages lying in a field of mainly Cretan varieties of flora: olive trees, carobs and blooming anemones. Despite the occasional flyovers of airplanes, the serenity of the location is so prevalent that you hardly notice them. The olive grove overlooks the majestic Lefka Ori (white mountains, and as the name suggests, covered in snow) which, with over 30 summits breaking the two thousand meter mark, dominate the landscape. Inside the house, the feeling is one of space and comfort. High ceiling, large bedroom with plenty of storage space, bathroom decorated with antique style floor tiles and living room – kitchen bathed in light. The walls are decorated with original works of art by Elena, who together with Aris make up the pair of truly thoughtful and discrete hosts. There was wine and cheese waiting for us upon our arrival and olive oil was always there for our salads and meals. The cottages are very close to three of the finest northern beaches in Chania, while there is also a two hour hike along a ravine (Avlaki) that takes you to the ruins of one of the oldest monasteries in Crete (Katholiko). Overall, our stay there, albeit brief, was a rejuvenating experience and I highly recommend it.
I was visiting the place together with my mother and we rented both cottages. My mom who is in her late seventies found the place very comfortable and easy to move .
