Our stay in Lemon Tree House was extremely relaxing and very venjoyable. The house was lovely - light, modern and very clean and the garden setting was very special. On arrival, Katerina's mother, Elletra had left us a very tasty Cretan meal which was delicious and so welcome, as after a 3 hour delayed flight we were very tired! The fridge also was stocked with some very thoughtful supplies that helped us settle in quickly. We heard beautiful birdsong everyday (including that of the Scops Owl at night) and slept long and well every night as it is so quiet. Nikos, Katerina's father took us on a nearby walk to a small chapel in the mountainside which was a revelation! The local supermarket is close by and we bought nearly all our supplies from there. Though we hired a car on the third day of our stay we used the local bus service at first and once you have the timetable (thank-you Katerina!) it becomes clear that there is a good, roughly hourly, service in the local area and also many more routes from the central bus station in Chania with buses going to all the main places of interest. We recommend the Imbros Gorge walk and also the Chania Botanical Gardens as 2 highlights of our stay. We had a good meal at Portes restaurant in Chania (make sure you find it's new location as guide books are out of date).
Though Katerina was unable to be there in person she was always available either by phone or Whats App and her cousin Vana was there to welcome us when we arrived. All in all we had a very positive experience and will be recommending Lemon Tree House to everyone!
