We needed some time away - to relax from work - and this little paradise was really the perfect place!
The garden is just by the beach which only had 2-3 short visitors a day. There are some beautiful rocks next to ‘our’ beach where we spent a lot of time watching the sunset & the waves, relaxing, talking, reading, the kids were playing and doing wood-carvings. We often went swimming from the rocks to the tiny island, perfect for the kids. A real magical spot!
The garden is huge with a gorgeous palm tree, 4 sunbeds and two very cozy sitting areas to chill - one directly facing the beach, the other under the big tree in the shade.
We had most breakfasts and dinners outside on the terrace where we loved the sound of the sea.
The house is really beautifully decorated with a stylish design. Everything was very clean. The kitchen was perfectly equipped with all you can imagine. There was local olive oil and all the herbs - also cretan tea & coffee available.
Stella & Yannis had even filled our fridge with delicious food & drinks! They spoilt us with Cretan specialities when we arrived - such incredibly nice and warm-hearted hosts!
The hot water is heated by the sun, if there is no sun you can switch the electrical water heater on, the shower was really great.
There is a parking spot at the place & you can lock the gate.
Two tavernas are within walking distance, ideal for a delicious dinner & a walk along the sea.
Even though the Airbnb is 'remote', it is not far to Chania (40') or other beautiful sightseeing spots.
We usually went to the supermarket in Kolymbari (8km) as we often passed when exploring Crete. There is so much to do & many beautiful beaches to visit.
We really hope to come again! Thank you Stella & Yannis for your hospitality!
