Our stay at the Avghi Country House was beyond what we imagined. Its hard to even conceive of a finer experience. Our hosts have thought of everything to make our stay comfortable, clean, relaxed, and authentic. The house is so tastefully done. Kudos to Dimitrios and Georgia for making this such a lovely place.
The house is situated on probably the most beautiful topographic site in the entire area, and looking out into the surrounding hillsides drinking your morning coffee or afternoon wine are moments and memories to relish. There are so many wonderful sitting areas along the veranda, you have to make a Sophie’s choice on exactly where to sit outside, as they are all ideal.
This house is very well built, very modern and rustic at the same time. We could not stop marveling at the incredible stonework, where our host told us most of the beautiful stone material came from mansions in the city that were taken down in the early 1900’s to make way for office buildings etc.
The fridge and kitchen were stocked w/ so many convenient neccessities, it made our first night and next morning so easy, as we did not have to deal with trying to find basics at a local grocery store immediately once we got there.
Also, our hosts went way out of their way to accommodate our late arrival and late departure. Their guests happiness and convenience is always on their minds.
My wife and mother and I will remember this place for a very long time, from the wonderful books on Cretan culture and history, to the beautiful blue and white curtains, bedsheets and local rustic décor. I will suggest this home to anyone that wants to make their trip to Crete truly special.
