We had a lovely stay enjoying the views from the generous top balcony of the distant snow capped mountains. The location in Stavromenos needs a car but it's an easy drive to local supermarkets and restaurants and nearby beaches. It is a good location too for trips to other parts of Crete and also into the mountains. The house is well equipped and spacious and communications with our host were helpful and quick. We enjoyed meeting her Dad who was lovely and met us when we arrived.
