When planning our trip we decided to end our visit in Crete and had a tough time deciding which side of the island and where to go while visiting. Ultimately we made the decision to go to Heraklion, which led us to finding this property. We are happy we did and we wished we could have stayed longer.
Firstly, Stefani was wonderful to work with. Very communicative and accommodated our arrival, which was around 20:00.
The home is lovely and located on a very quiet street at the top of the village. The house we stayed in was one of two sister homes, that you can see in the photo, and although someone was staying in the home next door, it was very quiet.
The exterior of the home was one of the reasons we wished we would have been there longer. Great pool with a huge deck area to lounge. The grounds are spectacular with a wonderful garden. There is an outdoor BBQ and dining area as well.
The first floor of the home was very comfortable and well appointed. It had everything we needed for our short two day stay.
The bedrooms are all on the second floor and the all have balconies with nice views down over the village and the sea. None of the rooms are huge, but all very comfortable. We were very, very pleased.
As noted Stefani was delightful. She shared suggestions with us on where to shop and directed us to the local beaches. Walked us through the entire home and made sure we understood how everything worked.
The location is about 30 minutes from the City Center in a small village that is full of shops and restaurants. It is a short walk down the hill to the village, where we ate several of our meals. The town along the sea is a bit further. You could walk it but I recommend a rental car if you are going to stay in this house. Also, there is a much larger grocery in the town than in the village.
Overall a wonderful property that we are very happy we found. We would absolutely recommend this location.
