We had a really nice stay in this well situated, old fashioned country house (but with a totally new bathroom) in a beautiful garden (we enjoyed the quietness, we could even hear the sea!). Paleikastro and beaches are really near. Easy access (10-15 mn by car) to the amazing beach of Vaï, to Sitia... and also a good basepoint to go to Zakros and the dead's Gorge. I recommend also the traditionnal taverna on the road to Vaï.
Many toys in the house for the children, the hosts left us food and drink.... We thank them for these nice small attentions.
Maybe the equipments could be improved but since it's a country house it makes sense. And for a few days it was ok.
