This is a unique Air B&B experience that I would highly recommend. We are a young couple from Ireland and we stayed here for 7 nights in April and had a wonderful time. We arrived by car after midnight to find our host Manolis waiting for us in his car at the end of the lane. This was the first of many times during our stay that Manolis & Nopi went above and beyond their role as hosts. The house is located on an organic farm in the small village of Apostoli. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It is a beautifully converted stone outhouse with a great rooftop terrace with wonderful views of the surrounding landscape and mountains. Apostoli is a good location to explore the island of Crete. A larger town Kastelli with supermarket etc. is just 5 minutes drive away and the bigger city of Heraklion is about 35 minutes. I would highly recommend hiring a car and getting a good sat nav as the local road network can be confusing.
Staying here you get a real experience of life in rural Crete. Manolis & Nopi went out of their way to ensure we had a memorable stay. Fresh bread from the bakery was hanging on our door every morning and they gave us some of their fresh organic vegetables from the farm for cooking. They are a really interesting and inspiring couple and we spent two wonderful nights in their home (just behind the house) enjoying delicious lamb cooked on the fire, some local wine and great conversation. Manolis also took us on a beautiful scenic drive to a nearby viewing point with spectacular views and he brought us to a night of local Cretan music in the nearby town of Archanes. The house, location and scenery are fantastic but it is the hospitality of Manolis and Nopi that really make the stay a wonderful experience. Highly recommended.
