We spent two weeks on the island of Crete in July this summer and we stayed at George's house. This is a very beautifully renewed Greek house in the village of Moni, in the south west of this wonderful island.

Georgeos's two floor house is big for two persons: we enjoyed a lot of room for us! We particularly liked to sit in the patio outside and enjoy our meal in the fresh air. The kitchenette was good for preparing our meals, when we ate at home. The living room area is very comfortable with the table and four chairs and the sofa. The upstairs bedroom is really big and with a wonderful view of the mountains that you can see even at night. This is something we loved as we do not have it in Barcelona! The bed is comfortable and you have a lot of room for your things too.

Moni is the perfect place for visitors looking for a relaxing holiday away from mass-tourism. It is really very quiet and peaceful village, surrounded by mountains and olive trees plantations. You just hear the wind, the goats and the cork singing in the morning. It is exactly what we were looking for: a relaxing place. At the same time this small village is very near to Sougia and its beautiful beach: it's a 5 minute drive with the car. Sougia has managed to remain unaffected by the growth of tourism in Crete. It is still a peaceful haven, with a long beach and excellent places to eat.

A part from mentioning the house, the village and the beach, we want to specially thank George for his hospitality. He is the most caring host. Even if we did not meet in person, he was always present with emails and messages. So the communication was excellent. He is very welcoming, even at a distance: he made us find a bottle of traditional Greek wine at our arrival! Many thanks to John as well. He always helped us if we needed anything. Thanks to both as you made our stay a perfect one. So, for next potential guests: come and stay at George's place and you will have a great time surrounded by nature and by friendly hospitality. Thanks for having us. Good luck.
