It was a truly unique experience to stay in a traditional stone house. Marko and team did a great job preserving the spirit of medieval Crete. We were also touched by a nice Cretan gifts we found on the table. There were plenty of towels for everyone. Unfortunately the shared pool was still cold despite the July heat (probably due to the strong winds in Crete for several weeks), although my son was still happy to jump in it. The HOPE restaurant 2 min walk from the house has fantastic views and amazing grilled lamb chops (closed on Mondays).
The only downside was that when you rent the lower apartment, the bathroom pipe/sewage from the upper apartment passes right next to the bedroom and each time the toilet is flushed - you here it big time. However, I understand that this is a price of staying in a charming old house.
