Although there are some quirks and unique details to this property, we had an amazing time! Michalis doesn't own the home but he is the property's manager and was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He attended to our questions and addressed a problem immediately. He was even wonderful to bring us a thoughtful treat. This home isn't for everyone (it's more like "glamping" meets seaside resort) but if you want to experience a location and house that you won't anywhere else, this is it. It's very out of the way from a small village with beautiful buildings and traditional eateries and not easy to get to but it's worth being secluded. The wildlife, direct access to the Sea of Crete and of course the views are amazing! We did go sightseeing several days but sat outside with morning coffee and poolside with drinks most days. We even named some of the wildlife "pets" Tommy and "Baaaby". I don't recommend this for families with small children because there are too many hazards. We would happily stay at any of the properties Michalis manages and would stay here again in a heartbeat!!
