Emmanuel's house is much more beautiful than it looks on the profile – the photos don’t do it justice! It is stone built with clean and simple architectural lines at the edge of the small and quiet semi-mountainous village of Fratti. It consists of two separate apartments that communicate externally through the Mediterranean garden that surrounds it. The main apartment consists of 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a cozy seating area and a fully equipped open kitchen. What we enjoyed most was the terraces surrounding the house with magnificent views of the mountains and the small surrounding hills planted with olives and oak trees. One of us stayed in the lower apartment consisting of living room, bedroom, bathroom and a small open kitchen. We found the house spotlessly clean and in the fridge all the necessary for our first breakfast. Even local Cretan raki! By car we were in 20 to 30 minutes to the southern beaches (Plakias-Preveli) or to Rethymno. This house is ideal for large families and friends who want to combine their holidays with peace and privacy. The car is necessary. We highly recommend it! We spent 4 wonderful days. Emmanuel is an excellent host!
