Maria and her lovely family were great hosts and we had a great stay in the Stone Cottage . The location is perfect , up in the mountains with spectacular views. Best if you hire a car to get around - Maria will tell you where the best beaches are and we spent our week exploring. The village has a shop and a restaurant where we had a couple of very nice meals. The cottage itself is comfortable with everything we needed for a weeks stay - specially enjoyed breakfast on the terrace overlooking the wonderful view of the surroundings mountains . We had a fantastic week and recommend this listing to anyone planning a holiday in western Crete - thank you Maria.
