Our trip to the amazing island of Crete was perfectly complemented by Irene's home and the remarkable hospitality she has shown us.
The location is spot on, a few kilometres out of the small city of Kissamos, the house is located away from the main road, on Irene's property, surrounded by wines and lovely olive trees. It's very quiet and private, with a lovely view of the surrounding mountains.
Furthermore, the house is located round about 12 km from the famous Balos lagoon, and about the same distance from the more accessible Phalasarna beach. If you feel a bit more adventurous, the stunning Elafonissi beach is also about one hour drive from the house.
Inside, we found the little home to be spotless, with absolutely all the utilities one might need and if you are like me, a great fan of the outdoors, Irene even provided us with a grill and firewood for all that tasty seafood you might want to try out.
We were very spoiled by Irene as every day when we got home from a "long and hard" day at the beach there was a plate of traditional Cretan snacks, waiting for us as well as the amazing home made olive oil and fresh vegetables.
Communication was very easy from day 1 of the booking and we really appreciate the flexibility Irene has shown in the check in and check out times(we had weird flight times).
All in all we sincerely recommend the accommodation, as Irene went above and beyond to give us a truly authentic Cretan experience!
