This is really an exceptional and outstanding accommodation if you treasure character and atmosphere as well as nature. If you are looking for a Standard Appartement near the beaches, this might not be for you.
But for everyone who loves the special and maybe a bit the traditional and romantic, this will be perfect.
In addition the host Roula is very hospitable and friendly and makes your holiday comfortable with providing all those little things (like ground coffee, fresh oranges to make your own juice, fresh eggs, kitchen towels, detergent, candles and do much more) that are not usually provided by hosts.
So I would highly recommend it and definitely will return if we ever come back to Crete.
One thing however you should consider is, that if you do not only want to go hiking, but want to go to a beach for example Sougia to the south or Balos to the north are a 1.5 to 2 hours drive away. We went to the beach and did not regret the longer drive however you should know in advance.
