Communication with Stelios was great from booking to the end, he was always reachable for any question you might have. Unfortunately we could not meet Stelios in person as he had to work, but his parents were there to welcome us upon arrival. The house is exactly as described and as shown on the pictures and was very clean! Heraklion can be easily reached in 40 min by car, but one tip though: take the road via Kato Asites and not via Krousonas as this road is much easier to drive :-) Kato Asites itself (5 min by car) has some mini-markets for basic groceries, for bigger super markets you have to drive direction Heraklion (but you can easily combine this when exploring Heraklion and surroundings). For dinner, we can recommend Earino (15 min by foot, 3 min by car): great food, friendly people and an magnificent view to the valley! Also the wine of the nearby Winery Diamantakis is excellent! You know beforehand that the house is self-sufficient so we did not mind the sound of the generator (which was only on very rare occasions, maybe once or twice a day). The pool area is very nice and the terras overlooking the valley is your ideal breakfast and apero spot :-) Although there is no airco, but a big fan in the living area and some small fans in the bedrooms, it was never too hot in the house because of its location and the mountain breeze. Maybe one remark: the winding staircase is less suitable for people with small children. I If you are looking for a peacefull place with magnificent views to spent some time in Crete, we would definitely recommend this place!
