The property is great and Manolis is as accommodating and accessible as is possible. We arrived at the beginning of May and the weather was changing from winter to spring. The house is stone and there was some residual chill. But, the wood stove, fireplace and bedroom wall units kept us warm for a few days til the sun shone bright. Driving in and around the village is no for the faint of heart, but make sure you have good damage protection on your rental car. Manolis referred us to many tavernas, restaurants and markets. He provided a wealth of information about the area and throughout Crete. Could not have asked for a better guide or home for a month. Although VRBO listing said all fees were included, Greece imposed a holiday housing tax in 2024. It amounted to 450 Euros for us which we had not anticipated. We had an idyllic month in a property and village we think of as our own.

My husband and I loved this beautifully restored property in a quiet, authentic Greek village away from the crowds. Balcony views across the valley were amazing. The garden area for breakfast was another favourite. Manolis, the owner, was very helpful with the check in process and made recommendations for our time there. He was super responsive whenever I communicated with him, and we were appreciative of his thoughtful gestures such as the fruit platter and wine on arrival. The village has a fabulous restaurant, The Golden Cage, which serves fantastic food. There is no mini market any more in the village. However, it’s approximately a 10 minute drive to the nearest supermarket in the town of Kokkini Hani, which also has a nice and calm sandy beach. If you’re arriving late in the day or in the evening, I suggest you bring your own breakfast supplies with you. A most unique and memorable stay!

A beautiful family space, quiet and close to everything we needed. Enjoyed use of the back garden and interior home. The views are breathtaking. Manolis and Evi were very hospitable and responsive. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
