This review will be in 2 parts as there are two components: the house and the restaurant Staras, owned by the same people. First, the house:
This has been our best Airbnb experience. The house is remarkable, we had a very warm welcome, with excellent cakes, and fresh eggs etc awaiting us for the following morning. The house has a lovely view of the sea, the rooms are spacious, with A/C, with a variety of excellent features. The pool, basketball and volleyball court, outdoor sound system, outdoor TV (only at night), were all wonderful attributes to the lovely house. The location is near restaurants, a couple of food shops, a dive centre less than 10min away, and Rethymnon, a lovely city a 10min drive away.
The owners could not be more attentive, with a network to allow you to do anything in Crete. We had a few technical issues, due to the negligence of the former tenants, and the owners immediately rectified everything. Their attention to detail and our well being was heart warming.
The restaurant Staras is owned by the same people as te house, and is veritable gem. It is located a 10min walk away, is very well decorated, with a surprise amphitheater in the back. The food served is excellent, and is easily one of the best, if not the best restaurant in Crete.
