Our hosts kindly collected us from the airport, and at the property we were greeted with a bottle of wine, some home produced olive oil and a delicious salad. The property itself is charming and matched the description closely. The balcony commands a wonderful view over an olive grove and being early summer lots of wild flowers were in bloom. It is in a authentic Cretan neighbourhood and the local taverna welcomed us with warmth and generosity. Pamela and Emanuelle were available for tips and advice but afforded us space and privacy. As such, I would rate them as perfect hosts. I would recommend hiring a car to explore the whole island as it is a very beautiful and friendly place. We enjoyed a fabulous holiday and would love to one day return. Thank you to our hosts and to our friends who recommended staying here.
