This is a fantastic place to stay in Crete as it is a lovely quiet and semi rural home set in a beautiful garden, with roof top views of the sea.The facilities are excellent,and we also had use of the roof top accommodation and second bathroom.
Sofia’s father met us and showed us around the property, and gave us tips on places to visit.He gave us a huge bottle of his own organic olive oil to use- and we managed to finish it, it was so good!
Sofia’s aunt also visited ,and bought us home baked bread and cakes on three occasions!
There are many lovely villages close by, and plenty of gorges to walk. We did Deliana, Rokka and Topolia . Rokka is especially dramatic and well worth a visit.
Even though we do not like crowded beaches, Elafonissi and Balos were breathtaking and worth the visit as you can always escape the crowds by walking up the beach!
Falasarna (Phalasarna) was also very good as relatively quiet especially further up towards the northern point, where there is also an interesting archeological
site.
Having use of the two bicycles was great, and very handy for visiting the excellent small bakery at bottom of the hill.
We enjoyed several barbecues, using old olive wood as fuel. The garden has great lighting and it’s lovely to eat there at night.
Sofia was always available by text and always replied to any query promptly.
We haven’t got a bad thing to say about Sofia’s home- it was perfect. Thank you for having us.
