This is a gorgeous house and definitely a highlight of our stay in Crete - even nicer than the pictures. Was sparkingly clean. Very spacious, with a number of very comfortable places to spend time - including in a beautifully furnished living room (with a great fireplace - we stayed in winter and were quite cozy!) around two different dining tables, in the spacious master bedroom, or on the downstairs terrace or three upstairs balconies - with many windows so the amazing view can be appreciated from different parts of the house. Lots of nice amenities, including an extremely well-equipped kitchen. Very convenient to both Stalida and Malia, but also set a bit apart so it feels very private and is quiet. Stavros is an exemplary host - was very responsive, accommodating, generous and also provided helpful tips as he knows the island quite well. Highly recommended - we hope to come back some day.
