Pela’s place was all we expected. We arrived at 3am (due to our flight), but we really felt welcomed. Everything was very clean, our bed are done and we even got some mineral waters prepared for us. The kitchen is fully equipped, and you also get all the other things listed in the ad. There is aircondition in every room.
The communication was very easy, the phone has always been answered immediately, text messages via AirBnb in 1-2 hours. We got tips regarding close beaches and things to see, we even got some grapes from the garden.
The garden is amazing, our daughter (2), could run around freely enjoy the grass and freedom in the garden, without us worrying that she gets out of the garden somehow. Additionally, it looks great with the pomegranate, peach and orange trees. There is possibility to grill and sit outside.
As others mentioned before us, the beaches are close by (Potamos was our favourite, 25min), and in the village you can find great restaurans (Apomero is highly recommended), with local dishes. You additionally have pharmacies, coffees, supermarkets, greengrocers and everything else you need.
The locals are very friendly and kind. The kids from the village played football and other games with our daughter with big amount of patience, and we also received some Raki, wine and snacks during our trips in Kastelli. Creta and especially not the touristy but smaller areas, have a really good vibe and great people, this was what we were looking for.
If you looking for a place where you also can relax while your kids are playing in the garden, with beaches, restaurants and kind locals around you, Pela’s place is the best choice. We really hope that we will get back to Creta next year and we will have the chance to stay here again. Thank you for this time :)
