Rose's house in Loutraki is fantastic. It is in a beautiful location a short drive from Heraklion in the mountains, surrounded by an olive grove. The village is tiny but lovely, and we had a wonderful time eating dinner at the local tavern and getting to know the people living there. It was unforgettable. The house was very clean, and with fans and the windows open, we were very comfortable. We had all the amenities we needed, and Rose was very kind to provide us with olive oil and raki when we first arrived. She was not at the property, but she was extremely responsive to any problems that we had. We could not have asked for a better host. The only very minor complaints are that the showers were a little unreliable (very little pressure, switching temperatures spontaneously) and the internet was slow, but Rose was working on that, and I am sure it will be fixed soon. I can absolutely recommend Rose and her lovely property in the mountains outside of Heraklion!
