This is a great location if you want complete peace and quiet - and was perfect for us. Communication with Vasilis was exemplary, even though he wasn't in the country during our stay. The house is 15 minutes walk outside a small, traditional Greek village that has a supermarket for essential provisions and a taverna serving basic food. The house itself has an open-plan ground floor and two bedrooms upstairs (though the second is not completely partitioned), and a small wet-room style bathroom downstairs. It's all simply and tastefully furnished, with good quality fittings etc., and everything works well. The view from the terrace is spectacular. The only issues are that there are (or were in September) a LOT of wasps, so if you're allergic to wasp stings it might not be for you; the house is elevated, so that on windy days (common to Crete) it's noisy, particularly on the upper floor; and finally, you'll need to be confident about driving on narrow mountainous roads to access the house and explore the area.
