I spent a week in this house which I used as a base for walks in the area. The place is freshly refurbished, impeccably clean, with all amenities one may need. Ideal for couple of people. I was also greeted with welcome set of local specialities, wine, olive - just feel sorry for not using much of it as I mostly ate outside - hope Virginie doesn’t hold it against me 😀 Location is on the outskirts of Palekastro , lovely little town, still very much alive in September with cafes, shops (including Virginie’s Terra Elaia) and very nice , relaxed atmosphere. To get to the beach one needs to walk roughly 2 kms, or drive there - but the prize of having of amenities of Palekastro within two minutes walk is more than enough to forget about any inconvenience one may feel because of it. I personally enjoyed this walk and preferred to be there in complete silence instead of staying in the beach apartments where noise from the weddings organized in nearby tavern could spoil the night or two. Communication with Virginie was very quick, efficient…what else can I say - want to be back there !
