We stayed only for a couple of days at Maria's place but it was wonderful. The house is located at the end/top of the village so it is completly private (with some local walkers/hikers occasionally passing by). It is beautifully renovated and designed with quality furniture and appliances. The beds were really good and the two bathrooms make it even more comfortable (we were 2 couples). The house is in the middle of a green oasis with different fruit trees around and a small stream under the house (we loved the sound of it!). It is a great place for all hikers and explorers of great viewpoints (and there are many!). The local tavern offers great food and service. We would definetly return to Maria's place if would go to Crete again.
