Ein wunderbarer Urlaub
Einen so schönen Urlaub hatten wir selten. Doris war eine wunderbare Gastgeberin. Sie hat uns viele Tips für Ausflüge in der Umgebung gegeben. Im Ferienhaus war soweit alles vorhanden. Wir werden auf alle Fälle wiederkommen.

agréable maison à Stavies
Maison en pierre agréable, contenant tout le nécessaire. Emplacement intéressant comme point de départ pour visiter le sud de la Crète : sites archéologiques superbes (Gortyna, Phaistos), plages (Matala, Kommos), escapades en montagne (sud de l'Ida, Dikta, Asterousias).
Très bon accueil, avec dégustation de produits à base d'olives.

Liebevoll eingericheter Stützpunkt für Ausflüge in die Umgebung
Die Unterkunft ist liebevoll, farbenfroh und detailreich eingerichtet und hat einen kleinen Blumengarten. An einigen Stellen war der Fokus eher auf Dekor als auf Funktion gelegt, aber das ist Geschmackssache.
Die Basics waren alle vorhanden, außerdem gab es zur Begrüßung einige Leckereien, inkl. Wein und örtliches Olivenöl. Verbrauchsmaterialien sowie hochwertige Kosmetikprodukte waren ebenfalls vorhanden. Begrüßung und Betreuung vor Ort waren herzlich. Das WLAN war ausgezeichnet und schnell.
Die Mini-Küche ist wirklich sehr klein. Besteck, Kochgeschirr und Zubereitungsplatz ist auf ein Minimum begrenzt und erlaubt keine großen Küchenzaubereien, für ein Frühstück oder Spaghetti aber völlig ausreichend.
Das Haus und Terasse ist südexponiert und recht windgeschützt, es gibt nur wenig Schatten im kleinen Garten. Bei Sonne und Wärme wird es schnell warm, auch unter der überdachten Terasse. Gute Fenster mit Fliegengitter erlauben aber nachts mit offenen Fenstern zu schlafen. Eine Klimaanlge gibt es nicht.
Die Hausumgebung und der Ort ist im Vergleich zu anderen ländlichen Regionen Kretas meiner Meinung nach etwas trostlos. Der beschriebene Blick auf die Berge erhebt sich hinter einer Hausruine und ist so spektakulär wie in allen anderen Gegenden der Messara-Ebene auch. Der Ort ist touristisch unbedeutend, es gibt es eine Tankstelle, Mini-Markt, Apotheke und Kafenions, im Nachbarort (5 min Auto) eine nette Taverne.
Fazit: Guter Stützpunk für Ausflüge in die Umgebung, (Ausgrabungen der Messara-Ebene, Wanderungen in den Asterrousia-Bergen, abgelegene Badeorte an der Südküste, z.B. Lentas) mit sehr gutem Preis-Leistuns-Verhältnis mit landestypisch überdurchschnitlicher Ausstattung

Excellent place and house in Stavies
We (my wife and I) came from Heraklion in Stavies at 22:00. Before, we had contact via SMS and sent a message to the contact person Doris that we should arrive within 15 minutes. She was waiting for us and showed the way to 'our' house. That was a good start! We hired the house for 10 days. It was a convenient place with all the things we wished (for example, an excellent working WiFi). The garden and space around the house, the privacy, the possibility to ask things to Doris, it was a good choice to rent this house! We had a nice stay!
