In one sentence: Fotini’s House was PERFECT for us, and Zacharias was a wonderful host in many ways.
Rating: 10 out of 5 :)
Let me be more specific:
Do your geography: this is SOUTH Crete. We were happy with this since we visited north before.
House is inland, in small and quiet Crete village, with mainly locals… however, only 10 minutes' drive from the house there are many lovely beaches.
House is only 60 minutes' drive from Heraklion airport, which was very convenient.
House is as beautiful as it looks on the photos, and it is even bigger than what photos show [since there are some utility rooms / laundry rooms that you can use but are not shown on photos].
House has two full bathrooms, which was so great to have.
100 years old house was renovated / refurbished with so much taste and love and care, that we felt wonderful during every second of our stay.
House is in a quiet neighborhood, so you will sleep well, and there won't be many [any :) ] people passing by while you are relaxing on any of the porches.
Kitchen has everything you might need in it.
Zacharias was a wonderful host in many ways: he welcomed us in person, he provided water, fruits, bread, and breakfast essentials for us, so that we can use the house without worrying about supplies immediately.
He allowed us to stay longer on our last day, since he had no new guests coming on that day.
He printed for us boarding passes for our flight.
He came to say goodbye to us and gave us some goodbye gifts his family produces.
All in all, this was wonderful experience for us.
Experience of serenity, luxury, quiet countryside relaxed vacation.
We feel so happy that this listing came up while we were searching for accommodation.
