Great place to stay and relax "off the beaten track" and away from the beautiful but sometimes crowded and noisy touristic locations of Crete. The house itself was better than we expected, it is almost brand new and built with the traditional local way, with local materials. A big plus the very big terrace, it offered us many relaxing moments, with a nice view of the nearby mountains, and also offered space to our 2 kids to play. Mathaios and his family are great hosts, accessible and ready to help and provide useful tips and also products from their gardens! Location is good: if you like the sea, the closest beach is about 15-20 mins by car, if you prefer the mountain, there are many nice villages nearby. I fully recommend the place, unless you are searching for something by the sea, or something with special amenities, like swimming pool. Great value for money, compared to what is offered in this area.
