This has been the best Rbnb experience by far. Maria’s Stone house is an amazing place, and she and Giorgos helped us so much in the long time we stayed there. They were extremely friendly and helpful, welcoming and nice to us. They provided us with every single thing we needed.
The house is carefully taken care of and peaceful and more beautiful even than in the pictures, with the flowers, plants, little fountain, trees and views. It has all you can need and many more things, so you feel like at home… moreover, like at your dreams home.
It is located in a small village called Pirgou, around 25 minutes from the capital of Crete, Heraklion, full of nice people there, a Taverna where they will help you with any of your needs, a couple of small mini market around, and some more shops 5 minutes walk in the near village of Agios Mironas.
The landscape is also dreamlike, like from a tale. The house has a patio to sunbathe, equipped with a perfect stone bbq and a stone oven, which we used even more than the kitchen itself as it was just perfect to enjoy cooking there on the outside. They have the house filled with details, kitchenware, towels, sheets, anything you need you have there x3!!
Calm and tranquility, birds, flowers, roosters at dawn, frutal trees, olive trees, sheep, sun, mountains around, the bells in the nearby beautiful churches. All perfect!! It is located around 50 minutes from he best beaches in Heraklion prefecture, those down south, like Matala, Kommos or the Red beach.
Knossos palace is about 30 minutes from the village and Phaistos palace around 50 minutes in the south, very close to Matala. We were super happy there, felt very sorry when we had to finally leave Crete after 3 months and we can only highly recommend the place.
It’s been a great pleasure being there, getting to know Maria, Giorgos, all the people in the village, their fresh products, the amazing Saturday market in Heraklion and enjoy the beautiful Stone house and getting to know how friendly and helpful some people can be. Thanks Maria and Giorgos for all!
