We spent 10 days in Vaggelis's house and the place really surpassed my expectation.
The house is very nice and reconstructed with sense for original architecture.
The place is really quiet and views are wonderful.
Room service was provided on regular bases (every third day).
I unfortunately haven't met Vaggelis in person, but he communicated very well both with messages here and via phone too.
Tips:
Arrival: Beware of Goole Maps! Especially if you haven't rented the off-road car, pay close attention to where it tries to navigate you. Keep direction to Spili and do not turn off the main road sooner than Kissou Kampos. Do not let the GPS to navigate you via Triopetra.
For food, definitely visit Vrachos Villas tavern in Agia Paraskevi. The people there are very friendly and you will taste really great Cretan food prepared with love.
Ligres beach is great place if youd decide to spend day at the beach. The nearby tavern is very good.
Plakias is good start for boat trips or boat rental.
Enjoy your stay as much as we did!
