The views from this place are breathtaking. You can sit on the veranda and look at the monastery and mountains and sea. It is very peaceful. The house is tucked back in an olive grove and the nearest neighbor is nowhere in sight. It is a few minutes drive from Elafonisi so is very convenient. There is a small market and a traditional Cretan restaurant just down the street. You will definitely need a car. The house itself is huge - 3 bedrooms. With the quiet and views, it would be perfect for a family get-together. There is a washing machine onsite and clotheslines. 2 full bathrooms, and soap/shampoo/towels/laundry detergent are provided. Maria was very accommodating; we were 2 1/2 hours late for check-in, but she did not complain (sorry about that, Maria!). Excellent communication and Maria met us in the "square" so that we could follow her. The place is nice and cool - if you open all windows, a nice mountain breeze goes through the entire house. Air conditioning downstairs. Very clean, very well kept. Wish we could've stayed longer!!!! Thanks, Maria!!!
