The Sarris house is beautiful and very comfortable for 6-8 people. The pictures don't really do it justice! The house is on a hill in a quite little village away from all the tourists and tourist traps, and with the sweetest, friendly neighbors!
We could have definitely used a few more toiletries though such as toilet paper, dishwasher soap, trash bags, etc. over our five-day stay. We ended up buying some, but then not even using a fourth of what we bought over the rest of our stay. I would gladly pay a reasonable fee (5-10 Euros for a good supply of toiletries) when I'm traveling.
The house description and many of the reviews on here talk about authentic Cretan culture and agricultural experiences with the hosts at the house but that was unfortunately not part of our experience. We actually booked the house hoping for that type of experience at the home though, especially traveling with two intrigued, eager chefs. I basically cornered Tasso one morning as he was there tending to the raki barrels to just show me the grapes fermenting as I also hinted at showing us how to fire up the bread ovens outside. There seemed to be a large language barrier, which we just weren't expecting from the reviews, and I think made it difficult for us to communicate needs, wants, etc.
We still had a fantastic time at the house! It was the perfect place for a group of friends who keep it interesting and prefer the path less traveled!
Thank you!
