We arrived to Crete with expectations of relaxation and rejuvenation at this gorgeous seaside retreat; what we received was much more! From the moment we booked with Dimitra, Fontas, and Olga, we were impressed by the responsiveness, dedication to finding us exactly what we were looking for, and kindness showing through in each exchange. Upon arrival, Dimitra, Mr. Fontas, and Ms. Olga were there to greet us, show us the property, explain everything, AND Ms. Olga had gone above and beyond by preparing us a beautiful traditional meal. There were snacks, olive oil from the olive trees on the property, fresh citrus, a gorgeous cake, coffee and tea... It was such a delight! Also, Mr. Fontas makes a lovely red wine that is a local varietal blended with Syrah - so good! Dimitra walked us through the house, sharing local tips and making us feel at home.
The house is perfect! It has everything you could want and more! The pool is beautiful and a great size for swimming laps in the morning. There's a hammock, a selection of books in a variety of languages, games, two bikes (that we rode everywhere), boogie boards, all the kitchen utensils you need, and you are a quick walk to the beach.
Also, the house has fantastic views and is a perfect place to watch the sunset in the evenings.
I'm sure I am leaving out some of the impressive parts of this perfect getaway. Just know you will not be disappointed. The property and the hosts are the best!
