Sehr schönes Haus in ruhiger Lage
Das Haus ist einfach toll. Wer Gastfreundschaft erleben will wie noch nie, der muss hierher. So wie hier, sind wir noch nie verwöhnt worden. Als "Willkommensgeschenk" fanden wir eine noch warme Moussaka vor, einen üppigen Obstteller und einen gefüllten Kühlschrank. Alles war tiptop sauber. Es wurde 2x in der Woche geputzt und Wäsche gewechselt, zusätzlich wurden wir mit griechischen Leckereien verwöhnt. Absolut bemerkenswert. Der Pool ist super gepflegt. Leider war das Wasser im Oktober schon recht frisch, sonst hätte ich ihn noch lieber genutzt. Wenn wir nicht in der tollen Sommerküche gegrillt haben, sind wir im Ort essen gegangen, was immer sehr gut war. Kurz und gut - sehr empfehlenswert

Wir wurden herzlich empfangen, der Kühlschrank war gefüllt mit Melone, frischem Obst, Butter und Marmelade. Wir sind von unseren Gastgebern sogar bekocht worden. Alle 2-3 Tage kam jemand für eine Reinigung vorbei. Das Haus und der Pool waren wunderbar sauber und wir hatten eine tolle Zeit und kommen gerne wieder. Vielen Dank!

Ein tolles Haus in ruhiger Gegend
Das Haus ist wundervoll und es ist alles da, was man benötigt. Die Besitzerin und ihre Familie waren sehr gastfreundlich und herzlich, wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Man muss aber wissen, dass man durchaus etwas weiter vom Meer und den belebten Regionen ist. Was Tolle Tage, wir kommen gerne wieder.

Review for stay from 16 June 2024 to 22 June 2024
Arrival was very smooth and our hosts were very friendly and welcoming. They had prepared fruits, a moussaka, fresh vegetables and more which was much appreciated after a flight! They also offered a homemade cake midstay. The exterior area is wide and offers a great view and all the equipment was very nice. The house was impeccable and spacious even though we spent all of our time outside. The house is very well equiped and we definetely would come back!

Review for stay from 05 August 2023 to 13 August 2023
Wir haben eine Woche in der schönen Unterkunft verbracht. Alles wie auf den Bildern zusehen und wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit. Sofia und ihre Tochter sind wirklich großartige Gastgeber und sehr herzlich. Wir wurden mit einem netten Willkommensgeschenk empfangen. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Die Outdoor-Küche war traumhaft. Auch die Nachbarn waren alle freundlich und zuvorkommend mit tollen Tips für die Umgebung. Der Pool war absolut erfrischend und sauber. Während unseres Aufenthalts wurde die Unterkunft auch gereinigt. Ein Auto ist auf jeden Fall notwendig. Die Unterkunft liegt in einem kleinen Dorf und ist ca. 30 Minuten von der Stadt Chania und wundervollen Stränden entfernt. Es gibt 3 tolle Restaurants im nächsten kleinen Dorf. Wir haben einen tollen Urlaub verbracht und würden immer wieder kommen!

We were very satisfied. The hosts are very loving and helpful. Everything you need for a relaxing holiday is available. If you love nature and tranquility, this is the place for you. The small pool is perfect for cooling off and you can sit very comfortably at the grill to spend a nice barbecue evening. Thank you for everything.

Wunderschöne Unterkunft zum relaxen!
Wer Ruhe und Entspannung sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Natur weit und breit, Vogelgezwitscher und ein paar Kilometer weiter traditionelle Tavernen. Der schöne kleine Pool steht zur Abkühlung bereit und der Grill und die Sitzmöglichkeiten sind für gemeinsame gemütliche Abende perfekt. Die Gastgeber sind sehr liebevoll und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt! Vielen Dank!
