Staying at Eleni’s place was a true highlight of our time in Crete. The pictures do not even accurately capture how beautiful this home is. The peace, pasture, and scenic views were well worth the drive (about 15-20 mins) up the mountain from downtown Chania. After you get used to the windy roads up and down, being in this place is a true escape. But you absolutely need a car to stay here.
The home itself was modern and quite comfortable and stunning to see. The subtle little touches in the 2nd bedroom for our child were so nice and helped our young child feel immediately at home. This place literally is stocked full of everything you could possibly need. The weather was a little cool when we traveled so we didn’t use the pool, but that also is quite nice. We loved waking to the sound of roosters and seeing the sheep all around. Comfortable heating and cooling in bedrooms, reliable WiFi. Very gracious and kind hosts— Eleni drove to find us when we got a little lost and gave excellent suggestions for our time. We would absolutely choose this again for a home base to explore western Crete.
