Stephano is a very good host. Always available by text, In my "confusion," we actually showed up a day earlier than we had booked! As no one was there, he let us move in early without any extra charges! The place is very nice up in the mountains. Great views....However, there is nothing else there. The drive down to Ligres beach takes about 15-20 minutes. To Spili, the biggest town in the area with ATM's shops, tavernas etc., takes 20-25 minutes. Remember, this is Crete so you are driving on winding roads any direction you travel! I guess that's what makes this place unique.
