Both Petros and his family were great hosts. Made us feel very welcome and sorted the very few problems out.

For anyone thinking of going, then do! It is a lovely retreat in the hills with it's own pool, not overlooked and beautiful views of the valleys.

What this isn't is your "normal" Crete holiday. You are about 30 mins drive from Chania and therefore well away from the crowds, the heat and the noise of the the town. There are two supermarkets (Carrefour and Lidl) within 25 mins drive or your can use local shops to stock up and stay up in the hills, in your own personal retreat.

However if you want to get to Chania town it is only 30 mins and parking is easy. Beaches are about 30-40 mins away.

Now the one thing this place doesn't have is good Internet. Due to it's location (it is up in the hills), you get the choice of Satellite or 3G (both provided in the cost) but both have their limitations. So if you are going, plan to have your basic Internet needs covered (Facebook updates and emails) but forget streaming Netflix or Spotify. And take media with you on a USB stick as the player on the TV in the front room can play movies or mp3.

So overall a great place, owned by good people and if you need a holiday retreat for up to four people then this is a good choice.
