We (family of five with children 9/12/13) spent one very nice week in Vaggelis' house. The house itself is a nicely renovated old cretan landhouse with a small, beautiful garden and is located at a very quiet spot near a dozen or so holiday villas (also landhouse style, thus the overall impression of the village is quite authentic). The view from the roof terrace is simply superb!!! There are two gorgeous beaches nearby (5 minute drive downhill), the mountains start directy behind the house and you find several very good tavernas either 2 minutes by feet or at the beaches. We got a very warm welcome from Vaggeli's parents who picked us up at Spili and also supplied us with fresh pears, walnuts and homemade raki (!). They even changed linen and towels every two days (never experienced such a service at an AirBnB house before....). Communication with Vaggelis was always smooth and very friendly. Definitely one of the best houses we ever rented by AirBnb - a strong recommendation for everybody who likes to spend his holidays in Crete off the touristic hotspots and likes to decide for hiking, beaching or sightseeing on a day-by-day basis!
