The house is even more impressive than the pictures. It is in the most spectacular setting. Panoramic view (including sunset!) of the hills and sea. Nestled in an olive grove, no other houses in sight, the place is nestled around the pool with huge porches and covered areas as well as great areas for sunning. The house has very high ceilings and windows everywhere. It feels like a real house — very personal and unique. There are two houses (one wood one stone) we had the wood one and nobody was next door so the compound was ours. We arrived home each day after dinner and marveled at the millions of stars we could see. It is 5 minutes from the closest beaches and in easy reach of the best of chania province. Dimitra made the visit special — giving us wine and cheese and local treats, recommending and arranging places to eat and as well as even offering us drive us places! We had a car (you need one). This is a house for people who don’t want a hotel or a place with no personality. We felt like locals by the end of our stay and in most places merely saying we were staying with Dimitra made us instant insiders.
