Our stay at Emprosneros was brilliant. Manos and Maria were extremely hospitable. They kindly stayed up until very late at night so they could welcome us in person and show us around the beautiful house themselves! They made us feel very welcome. They kept regular contact with us to make sure we had everything we needed for our holiday. We hadn’t planned any activities or excursions before arriving, but Maria had very kindly and helpfully sent us a list of recommended activities with distances and journey times so we didn’t need to do much research ourselves. This was invaluable!
The house is in a beautiful location, nestled in between the mountains with spectacular views. This does mean it is a bit of a drive to most tourist attractions. We had a car and had no trouble travelling to Knossos/Sfakia for our boat trip, and enjoyed the local taverna for dinner one evening (kindly arranged by Maria), but it would be difficult to enjoy Crete if you didn’t have a car whilst staying here.
The house itself is stunning, so well decorated with good quality furniture and decor. The swimming pool was cleaned everyday, and the kitchen was very well-equipped (including a dishwasher) which made our stay very easy. The house has several outdoor spaces including the outdoor kitchen which was perfect for us when eating outside.
All in all, this is a fantastic Air BnB which we can’t recommend highly enough. As a group we would love to return as we had such a great time. Thank you for everything!
