This lovely little cottage is the perfect antidote to the busy and noisy holiday towns on the north cost. Set in a tranquil olive orchard complete with flowers and citrus trees, shady, quiet and peaceful, the little house is very well equipped with much thought for detail and functionality.
Communication with Spiros was very good and although we didn’t meet in person he checked on our save arrival and deposited the key with very easy access.
The house was clean and a bowl of fresh fruit and a bottle of wine were waiting for us. All windows are equipped with mosquito screens and both the air condition as well as the ceiling fan are top notch - and so silent you could let them run through the night if needs be.
The beds were very comfortable and there is ample seating in the patio if you want to hang back in a shady place during the midday heat.
The outdoor bbq looked very promising but we didn’t get a chance to try it out.
Supermarkets etc are a 3 minute drive away.
For a (proper) beach, you might need to drive to the neighbor towns, but it’s still perfectly located to get to the sea, the harbour, and for excursions to Knossos, Elounda (and Spinalonga), Agios Nikolayos - each about 25-35 minutes drive.
