Staying at the wooden house was a great experience. The house and the garden are unique and so close to the Tersanas beach that it really takes 5 min to pop up to the beach. The house is modern and well designed to be integrated with the natural environment. It provides this feeling of being in nature but without missing any comfort. In general, I would say a good place to break away from the daily life.
Regarding the area, Chania town is really reachable (30 min by car) and Stavros ( 10 min by car) as well. We were worried that Crete might be too hot, but during our stay it was sunny during the day with pleasantly lower temperatures during the night.
Aliki was a great host, she provided everything we needed and also gave us some interesting tips about the area and restaurants.
