We are a family of 4. My teenage daughter said this was the best holiday she'd ever had, so high praise indeed! Without doubt Faidra and her family have loved this house and I'm so pleased we chose to stay here. The village is quiet and welcoming and the house peaceful. It's perfect for the short drive to Heraklion, but with none of the noise etc. The pool was fantastic for morning laps, family splashes and cooling down, with comfy sun loungers. The house has so much space to spread out and lovely outdoor seating/dining areas and bbq. Kitchen is very well equipped and has all the basics foodstuffs like salt, herbs, oil etc the fridge is large so plenty of room to store drinks! Beds are comfy and there were lots of towels- the curtains are lightweight (with screen on outside), except for the master room which has heavier/darker curtains. The washing machine works well and there are 2 large airers on the balconies. Wifi was absolutely fine in the house and poolside and kept 2 teens happy, with the odd glitch, but only for a minute or two. The TV was a decent size and we took our Apple TV which worked well. Air-con would have been amazing, but the fans were totally adequate for us (temps were around 29/30 deg C). Heraklion is large and busy and not our thing, so we tended to roam around with a car- Matala (hippy cave fame) in south was fabulous day out with wonderful scenery and nice vibe, some nice beaches to the east and the west of Heraklion, Knossos, water park was also a great day out. On our last day we headed out to Elounda/Agios Nikolaos and hired a boat for a couple of hours (Minos Boats- highly recommend). It only took an hour to get there, so the house is well sited to access other areas. Communication with Faidra was swift and helpful. All in all we had the best trip, I wish we'd had more time and would 100% love to return one day.
