The house has been lovingly restored and extended by Thodoris and Electra, who are really welcoming. It is solar powered, which is very 'green' but there was enough power for charging phones, laptop, camera etc. Even the excellent wifi is solar powered so I was fully in touch with the 21st century - this may not be everybody's choice!
The central light in the bedroom is tricky to read by, and I suggested to Thodoris that a couple of reading lights would be a great improvement.
The house is just up a very narrow lane (I decided not to take my small hire car up it more often than I needed to and parked outside the shop at the bottom of the lane when I could). Beyond the house you are into olive groves, very much the heart of the countryside. You think the countryside is quiet until you start trying to sleep in it - and then you discover just how early cockerels get up - so you tune it out eventually and sleep through it!
The local restaurant, Kalypso, served us with inadequately defrosted moussaka - the only bad meal we had in Crete. We did better down the road at Maracaibo restaurant in Koleni, and at Taverna Neratzoula in Voulgaro. I'm reluctant to admit it, but consulting Trip Advisor paid off.
Airbnb sent the precise location to my phone, so we astonished Thodoris by being the first people ever to find the house on our own.
It's great to have the freedom to use tavernas when you want to and get back for some very simple self-catering. I'd recommend this place, away from the crowds but a good starting point for trips in any direction.
