Crete stay

This was a lovely quiet property just perfect for the two of us. As people who like some privacy and peace whilst being able to access local places of interest this was perfect. The facilities were perfectly adequate and the air conditioning essential for night time. Great scenery and nice and close to the beach which was deserted most evenings. Our hostess was great (even when we locked ourselves out!) and nothing was too much trouble. Beautifully kept grounds. We would highly recommend staying here.

splendida vacanza

Location curata, pulita e confortevole. Emanuela e Andrea sono stati gentili e pronti ad aiutarci, ci hanno anche fatto trovare una bottiglia di vino fresco l'ultima sera della nostra permanenza! La posizione è comoda per raggiungere molte delle località che tutti visitano, ma in un contesto di grande tranquillità.

Up´s and Down´s you don´t want to have during vacation

The host seemd friendly in the beginning. The flat was, what the pictures promised. But all the dishes and windows were dirty, the bathroom water taps were totaly calcified and therefore only half-usable (the toiletbrush I don´t like to mention). Not the half of the installed sockets worked, and none of all the nicely placed spotlights. The hotplates were rusty and the oven dirty from the inside. The room was quite humid. When we told the manager of the area, that we can´t accept the price we payed for what we got he first became a bit angry and aggressive and excused everything (the housecleaner forgot..., yesterday it rained, so the windows..., ah, good you tell me. I didn´t know...) then gave us another flat, that was fully new equipped. It was clean and everything worked, the toiletbrush was dirty and the doublebed was a kind of hammock. And then, immediately after our complaints, he and his wife came with a bottle of wine, asked if everything was OK now and if we could take care of their dog, because they had to leave the place for two days due to familly affairs - the dogs food allready at hand... No - we didn´t enjoy much ( neither did a group of students that experienced the same as we did).

Lovely property in quiet location

The property was ideal for my wife and me in a quiet location away from main roads and town. The Livingroom/bedroom was open plan which gave a spacious feeling. The property was very close to the beach and restaurants just a short drive away, we tended to eat at tavernas in the village of Gouves. Tricky to find, clearer instruction or signage would help, we didn’t have too much problem as we use the grid reference and GPS. Owner somewhat blasé about care of his property and dealing with issues. E.g. automatic garden watering system flooded the bedroom floor and was damaging the shutters. Refrigerator iced up and required defrosting on arrival. Hot water was not available on arrival until we asked and were instructed to switch the fuse. No DVD player or stereo as in description.

Heavenly

I stayed in this lovely little nest for a month and couldn't have loved it more. Located in a breathtaking setting with a great beach within walking distance, this studio is perfect for someone looking to get away from everything. The managers of the property, Alex and Maria, are kind, caring, friendly and endlessly helpful. This was the perfect base from which to explore the entire island with a car. There is a big Lidl nearby to load up on supplies and immediate access to the main road that traverses Crete. Outside is a lovely terrace covered with flowers and the stone work inside is gorgeous. WiFi works great and so does the A/C. I never wanted to leave.

Relaxing, clean, beautiful, abs. reccomendable!

Very nice and gentle landlord. The place is kept very clean. The neighbour is not too close, you do have your own terrace. Very nice stone house that reminds of the years about 1900 :-) Kitchen, bathroom easy to use. By car about 7 minutes from the beach where you find restaurants en mass. The hole place around looks VERY green and amusing to the eyes. The stone house is very well hidden at a hilled-part of kato gouves, best for your private well being. Only thing that bothered us: TV is only 4 channels and they´re greek, you HAVE to go out every night otherwise there is nothing to do cause it´s a quite place with no entertainment by TV. Would have not been so bad if WIFI would have worked without problems. You can only go online with your Laptop or phone if you push them against the window which is the closest to the bigger neighbour house - as the stone house is receiving the signal from there - maximum to the window. But if you´re a family and book the bigger house together with the stone house - this problem is vanish. We would absolutely reccomend this place but maximum for two people without children (otherwise you can book both houses). This was definitely not our last visit on Crete! Christopher & Maria-Angela
