Fantastic
Very nice house with an amazing view. Lovely outdoor area and pool. Landlord is really nice and helpful. Very local and you are far up in the mountains so you need a car.
Highly recommended.

Excellent séjour, maison au calme et vue magnifique sur les montagnes de Crète
La maison et la piscine, l'ensemble du logis, la sympathie de notre hôte Alex, ont réellement ravi toute la famille.
La vue sue les monts crétois !!! Que dire d'autre que ces images resteront gravées.
En plus Alex nous a fait profité d'une soirée typiquement Crétoise ... Que dire de plus de toutes ces merveilles.
Nous reviendrons.

Einfach nur 🤩
Vom Flughafen mit dem Auto zum Ort dachten wir ,wo sind wir bloß gelandet.
Aber dann kam die große Überraschung.
Wir sind sehr herzlich vom Vermieter empfangen worden:
Das Haus war sehr schön und alles sehr sauber.
Es war genügend Platz für uns 6 Personen.
Jeden Morgen dieser herrliche Ausblick.
Wir hatten nichts zu bemängeln .
Gerne kommen wir wieder.
Danke für die liebevolle Gastfreundschaft
