Our Riza Falasarna apartment was the perfect location for our exploration of the west coast of Crete, and Despina and her family were the perfect hosts. From the minute we arrived we were welcomed warmly and made to feel at home. It was easy to find the apartment even without a GPS because there are signs saying "Riza Apartments" at the turnings. The short road up to the building is paved and fine for our tiny Fiat Panda. Everything was just as shown in the pictures, and the view from the top apartments was very enjoyable. The apartment was very spacious and clean, and the bed was comfortable, with extra pillows available. The kitchen was well equipped with quality pots and pans, and the family supplied olive oil, salt, and sugar along with other needed things. It was a pleasure to cook in the kitchen. Despina speaks English, and when she was there she translated conversation with her family which we really enjoyed. When she was not there, she was only a phone call away to help with anything. Someone came in the apartment almost every day to remove trash and straighten up, and we had fresh towels and sheets after a couple of days. What fun it was to come home after going to the beach to find a fresh apartment and maybe a homemade sweet or meal on the kitchen counter! There are many things to do in the area, and you can't go wrong by choosing Riza Apartments for your holiday.
