We really enjoyed our stay in this house. It's in a small Cretan village surrounded by olive trees and a 5 min drive to Malame on the coast. You can see the sea from the balcony. We were met by the hosts, who greeted us with very thoughtful local products. The house is immaculate, and the wrap-around (covered) balcony is really pleasant. We visited in spring, and used this as a base for trips to Chania, Balos, and Elafonisi. The hot tub was a great bonus feature.
