Nikolaos's place is wonderful in every respect. It's gorgeous, serene, well-designed, cozy, and relaxing, the perfect option for a Crete getaway. It's close enough to two great coastal locations (Sougia and Palaiochora) that the beach and water are a short drive away, but at the end of the day you benefit from the comfort and seclusion of the mountain village of Rodovani. Nikolaos was a great host, with good communication and local suggestions, and the place itself is brand new and sparkling. And the terrace is great. Highly recommended.
