First of all, a massive thanks to Helena as she has been super helpful. Our flight was delayed by more than 7 hours to Heraklion due to severe weather and we finally arrived at the house at 3am in the morning. Helena was there to welcome us and she also organized our transfer as the rental agency was closed, really massive thank you to her.
Positive:
- The house is really great, well located and close to the beach and commerce's.
- The pool is really great, is was really cold (about 20C) but we knew about this before so no problem. The Jacuzzi was also a great thing despite the low temperate, see below in the Negatives.
- There are a lot of area around the house were you can chill and always enjoy the sun during the day
- The outdoor kitchen is really a lovely place with the BBQ (see below for the negative) to cook and also enjoy a drink
- There is a tennis table outdoor and this was great to play
- There is enough place to park at least three cars
Negative:
- The Jacuzzi was way too cold, I measured the temperature to about 29C, we asked to increase the water temperature at least to 33/34C but it was refused. The reason given to me was that above 30C, the water would turn green with the chemicals. We used a lot of Jacuzzis in other paces and we always had between 34C and 36C with a crystal clear water. I understand that 30C might be OK when you can use the pool and the temperature outside is 30C but when the temperature is 20C, this is too cold.
. There are no tools for the BBQ, we had to clean it with paper and we had to use a fork to cook, not really the best way for a BBQ
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and especially our helpful Helena.
