We had a wonderfully relaxing time at the House on the Cove. The space is very clean and well taken care of, the views are spectacular, and Gianni and Emanuela were always quick to offer great recommendations for local cuisine and beaches. You definitely need a car to access this little hidden treasure, but you are able to walk down the hill (about 20 minutes) to the local Souda beach. The private pool on your terrace is nice and refreshing after the hike back up. The more popular Plakias beach is less then a ten minute drive away and offers lots of restaurants and some shopping. We started off our honeymoon at the House on the Cove and it was absolutely perfect spot to unwind and relax. The breakfasts in the room were great too! It was VERY windy during our stay here, but we actually welcomed it because it kept a comfortable temperature. I would highly recommend Gianni’s hospitality and this beautiful House on the Cove.
