The place is even better than the photos. I stayed with three of my girlfriends on spring break and we enjoyed every moment. The host was always available and left us very thoughtful welcome gifts that were homemade from Crete olives and pomegranate. There is a fireplace in the living space that was extremely cozy and enjoyable after a long day of exploring the island, and the views from Althea Mansionettes were some of the best on the in Crete!
