I stayed 8 nights in this cottage and was very, very comfortable. It was very clean, had everything needed for cooking, including oil, vinegar, salt and pepper, plus towels, hairdryer, shampoo, shower gel, and the like. The bed was firm and the sheets were cotton, which I appreciated very much. The location is quite off the beaten path, so you are really in a small village, living side by side with the people who make it their home. The nights were quiet and dark; often there was a strong wind blowing (I was there in July), which cooled things off magnificently; in the mornings a near-by rooster let me know the day was starting. The terrace is really just like in the pictures and was a wonderful place to eat, read and reflect. The best part, though, was the hospitality. I met Gianni's mother and grandmother and they made me feel very, very welcome. That was really a highlight of my entire trip to Crete.
