We spent over a month living in this brilliant house of Stelios and Eleni, and loved the place very much!
The house is situated in the centre of small village, named Maleme, near the church. Quiet neighbors.
The beach is 3-5 minutes walking. The supermarket and a butcher’s shop are 2-3 minutes. Cafes and restaurants are mostly on the beach or on the main street. You may catch a bus to visit Chania, or other villages and sand beaches.
The house is huge, bright and cozy. We were enjoying it’s interior as a mix of modern and traditional styles. All these interior vintage details in it make the special feeling of life-taste!
The living room is spacious, you may use it as three-four different zones to chill in. The kitchen is well-equipped with all the necessary things.
Each bedroom has it’s own balcony. The view from above is very calming. You should definitely see the roof view too! The beds are very comfortable, clean white bedding, bathrobes, we had plenty sheets and towels for change.
The yard is closed and it’s safe for kids. We were enjoying our meals outside, having barbeque. The swimming pool is just how we needed: very clean, big enough to swim and has it’s privacy. When it was too hot on the beach, it was the best time to spend it near the pool, as it was shadow-time there.
Also we had a small guest-house in our disposal. And it was very convenient for us when we needed our children to sleep in silence. This small house is a studio with a small kitchen (no cooker in it) and it’s own bathroom.
We were very impressed with the house, but even more we were lucky to know the hosts of it. Stelios and Eleni are such an intelligent people, very calm and nice. Their hospitality is great! We were welcomed with traditional snacks, big basket of fruits, several bottles of olive oil, rakia and wine. Eleni’s
pies were delicious! Whenever we needed something, they were providing us immediate help. We needed doctor’s help twice, and Stelios was our savior! We’ll never forget you, dear Stelios and Eleni! It was very hard to go back home... Hope to meet you next summer on Crete, or probably in our land! You are incredibly open-hearted people! ευχαριστώ πολύ!
