I had an amazing two weeks staying here in September and can't recommend it enough. It's an authentic Cretan experience and Petros is a generous host, providing his own delicious olive oil for example, and he helped source good quality meat and fish for some barbecues round the big table in the evenings. He even took us for an incredible boat tour to some nearby caves.
The old Venetian villa is rustic and beautifully restored with lots of nice touches. It's very relaxing and private being by the lovely pool which is overlooked by the spectacular White Mountains and it's nice just watching the birds and butterflies passing by.
It was also a great base for exploring the area and we managed to visit the nearby harbour, beach, lake, forest and gorge. Gabriele was very helpful with advice on where to go and where to buy local food.
