This is an AMAZING and special Airbnb.
1. Location: I don’t think we realized what a special town Mochlos is. It’s definitely off the beaten track, with a tiny cove and a small village. It’s stunning. The town has 150 full town residents, and obviously many are ex pats. It has nine GOOD restaurants (it’s a foodie destination). You can swim to the little island off shore with a Minoan settlement (how cool is that?). The house is just around the corner from the main town beach, and the private balcony (across the little street from the house) is just stellar. The town is delightful and beautiful. Our kids (6,7 and 8) ran free to the beaches, back and forth from the restaurants to the house, and just enjoyed small town freedom!
2. The house is perfect. New, thoughtfully and ecologically designed, with big spaces and terrific balconies. The kitchen is stocked and pleasant. There are three good bedrooms with three good bathrooms and a new washer. All the details are thoughtful. Good screens, fans (and ac), toiletries, coffee, really thorough.
3. The hosts are wonderful. They live in the village and are always available. We loved all their quiet attention, warmth towards our children, and joy in their own lives. Thank you Annali and Oddi!
This is a special place. We were there 4 nights and I wish it were twice that, just to enjoy the stunning views and lovely little town, in such a comfy and stylish house.
