Short version:
Excellent location, view, host. Just basically an excellent house to rent.
I'd recommend staying at this house all day long!
Longer version:
We are a family of 4, with two kids age 8 and 9. For us this house was perfect. There are a few things to consider if you have younger kids though.
- The pool is 1.5meters deep all over
- The beds are located on two different floors. 2 single beds on the ground floor and 1 double bed on the 1st. floor.
The house sits almost on top of the mountains and it takes about 15 minutes of driving from Kissamos up the mountain on winding mountain roads. The view up the mountian is spectacular. Once at the house you'll find a beatiful build house just as you can see on the pictures from the description of the house. The pictures do not lie! The house is clean and have a fully equipped kitchen.
The pool is located a floor above the house and you access it by a couple of stone stairs. The view from the pool is breathtaking! The pool is clean and fresh.
The hosts goes all in, in making you feel welcome. We felt we where visiting a good friends house, that's how welcome the host made us feel!
We never used the beach at Kissamos as it was to rocky for our taste. Instead we drove to Falassarna Beach about 30 minutes from the house. We didn't go to the Big beach but continued pasted the signs towards to the Big beach and found a smaller more quite beach just to the right of the Big beach. The water is crystal clear, it's white sand all over and you can also snorkel along the cliffs and see a few fish. It gets about 1meter deep right away so not really ideal for young kids.
Thanks John for the good time we had at your house.
