Took my dad on what I wanted to be a rustic experience of Crete in the mountains and that is precisely the experience we both had! We both felt comfortable and at home as soon as we arrived. Roula’s mother was so sweet in demonstrating how the house worked and stopped by halfway threw our stay with fresh tomatoes from her garden and homemade jam which were both delicious, the two taverns close by have unbelievable food, nothing like North American food, fresh and organic. The stay itself was unbelievable, which consisted of beautiful walks in the natural landscape along with board games at night after watching the beautiful sunsets on the balcony. The time went by so fast even though, when you think about it, compared to every day life the amount you cram into a day, it’s amazing at how.... our time seemed filled with such quality moments. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that wants an authentic experience in Crete, with such warm loving people. Will happily return again!
