Manolis an Nopi really made this stay special and unique, both kind, friendly and always happy to help out and on the other hand seeking to share some of the many features and characteristics that make crete, the area distinctive. Their special perspective of a responsible way to preserve the earth and to achieve happiness in a collective way makes talking and understanding each other even more special. Enjoying the fresh bread, some homemade products, the seed from Manolis fields and fruits from the greenhouses were in the best of taste. The rooms were exactly like they look on the pictures, warm, welcoming and really cosy and a small fire the open fireplace in the living room, accompanied by a glass of rich red wine from the close-by Peza region made a cooler evening even more enjoyable. The family was always trying to share some of the cultural aspects of the region and with Manolis taking me and another guest couple to a cooperative grocery cafe in Archanes to an unforgettable and inspiring evening full of music, laughter and dance he really emphasized his endeavor. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone who is interested in a more authentic and unique experience of the island away from the touristic sites, glare neon lamps and loud tourists along the northern beaches. Manolis an Nopi are always helpful suggesting interesting spots in the area and finding ways to make the stay remarkable. Thank you for your hospitality that felt much more like friendship to me.
