What we loved:
The location (quiet neighborhood / village), the mountain view, being surrounded by nature, the animals (neighboring sheep, goats, horses), the nearby hiking (Diktamos Gorge), distance from a major city (Chania, 20 mins away), other nearby small traditional towns (Stylos, 25 mins away), our hosts (Eleni and Michalis, gave us some great tips on destinations), the house itself, the gazebo, etc.
We arrived later than expected, after 10pm, and were tired and hadn't eaten dinner. Eleni and Michalis were waiting at the house to hand us the keys and provid a walk through. Since we hadn't eaten dinner yet, we were faced with the choice of driving 20 minutes to Chania to find a restaurant or waiting until morning to eat. Luckily Eleni and Michalis had stocked the fridge with bread, butter, jelly, fruits, and wine. There's coffee in the pantry and a full kitchen, and other pantry items like salt, sugar, olive oil, and many other items for cooking a meal.
What you need to know when driving yourself to the house:
If you're coming from Heraklion and using google maps for navigation, be aware that it may take direct you to travel across some very rough unpaved roads. This is avoidable if you travel directly into Chania first, then toward the house, or set your GPS to only use paved roads.
Highly recommend this for honeymooners, nature lovers, and those looking for an escape from city-life.
