Absolutely fabulous!!

The property is set on the edge of the village with commanding views of the mountains. There was nothing better than coming back from the beach and relaxing on the roof terrace - a real bonus!! The cottage itself was a delight. There was everything there that we needed to make our stay a joy that it was. The locals were very friendly and we couldn’t fault the place if you want to get away for peace, quiet and relaxation. We will return!

Peaceful setting, traditional Greek house in a small village in the mountains

Lovely stay, small place but very comfortable. So quiet and relaxing with friendly locals nearby. A good contrast to the main town situated at the bottom of the hills on the seafront where there were many Tavernas with reasonably priced good meals and of course beautiful clear warm waters for swimming. Perfect combo!

A fantastic stay - thank you!

We had such a lovely time staying in this delightful cottage! The village of Agios Stefanos is extremely charming, nestled into the mountainside overlooking the rugged south coast. We found the local Greeks and Europeans to be very helpful and friendly, offering useful local knowledge and making us feel very welcome indeed. The cottage itself is on the edge of this old village, offering privacy and accessibility. It is extremely well equipped and comfortable. The Mosquito Blinds ensure the inside remains free of bugs, although there are very few mosquitoes around anyway, so we could enjoy evenings on the roof looking at the stars and stunning surroundings. There is also plenty to do and see in the area - Vraiko Cave outside Pefki village offers an impressive and extensive stalagtite/mite series of interlocking chambers. We felt like explores discovering this gem for the first time, as there is no lighting/walk-ways etc (or entry charge). The folk museum, mountaintop church and Gorge Walk around Pefki are also great activities to do when you're not exploring the various sandy or rocky beaches. These are quite different from each other - some good for snorkelling (dragon's cave near Kalo Nero) and others better for younger children, such as the main beach at Makrigialos Beach, which is sandy with shallow calm water close to parking and the town facilities. We also enjoyed some days simply relaxing at the cottage and reading some of the interesting books from the cottage 'mini library'. We were particularly grateful for the wealth of information contained in the Visitor Book at the cottage, packed with helpful tips from a wide range of appreciative visitors. We very much hope to come here again! Francis and Avril

Authentisches, gemütliches und gepflegtes kleines Dorfhaus mit Bergblick oberhalb von Makrigialos

Wir (Paar mit neunjährige Kind) haben die ersten zehn Tage unseres dreiwöchigen Aufenthaltes in A. Stefanos 295 sehr genossen. Alle Beschreibungen, inklusive Anfahrtsbeschreibung waren nachvollziehbar, verständlich und korrekt. Die Dachterrasse haben wir geliebt und an den weniger windigen Tagen morgens und abends den Blick schweifen lassen. Für uns war es die perfekte Unterkunft, weil wir lieber in einem Bergdorf oberhalb der Touristenströme wohnen und uns dann in den Trubel schmeißen, wenn uns danach ist. Dafür haben wir eine viertelstündige, kurvige Anfahrt gern in Kauf genommen. Von A. Stefanos aus haben wir diverse Ausflüge in Ostkreta unternommen.

archaisches uriges Dorfhaus

Den Weg zum Haus am westlichen Dorfrand hat uns der englische Wirt der Taverne im Dorfzentrum gezeigt. Nur noch ein Teil der Häuser ist bewohnt. Eine abenteuerliche schmale/steile Seitenstraße führt hoch bis direkt vor die Haustür, dort ist Platz für 4 PKW. Die ins Dorfinnere führenden Wege sind für PKW ungeeignet. Wir bekamen auch Kontakt zu einer sehr netten Nachbarin und zu einem älteren Dorfbewohner. Von der Dachterrasse traumhafte Aussicht über den Friedhof hinweg zur Küste bis zum Lybischen Meer. Aussich aus dem Haus selbst etwas eingeschränkt (Fenster in Stehhöhe und mit Mückennetzen ausgestattet). Weil die Fenster waren alle zu waren als wir kamen, hatte ich die ersten 2-3 Tage einen schwachen Kellergeruch in meiner empfindlichen Nase. Die winzigen 5 Räume sind sehr originell und recht gemütlich. Platz für 4 Personen (2 Schlafzimmer mit Doppelbetten, 4 Stühle am Tisch innen sowie 4 Gartenstühle + Tisch auf Dachterrasse). Wegen der beengten Verhältnisse sollten sich die 4 Personen aber recht gut kennen. Das Haus ist sehr einfach gehalten und deshalb zu empfehlen für Leute, die auch Camping lieben. Dennoch war alles vorhanden, was man braucht und mehr. Dusche stets mit Warmwasser. Küche: 2-Platten-E-Herd zzgl. Mini-Platte (für griechischen Kaffee) und Backofen. Der Ofen war jedoch nicht gleichzeitig mit den Platten nutzbar. Kühlschrank mit Eisfach, Waschmaschine, Spüle mit Warmwasser und Abtropfe, Wasserkocher, E-Heizlüfter. Nicht gefallen haben mir Messer (dünne weiche Klingen mit Sägeschliff) und Bratpfannen (dünner Blechboden). Trotzdem haben wir immer sehr leckeres Essen gekocht (z. B. Lammkottelets oder gedünstetes Gemüse mit selbstgepflücktem Rosmarin, Oregano und Thymian). Auch gab es einen kleinen Grundstock an Lebenmitteln (Öl, Essig, Salz, Zucker, Raki, einige Gwürze). Einen Versuch, den offenen Kamin in der Küche in Betrieb zu nehmen, mussten wir abbrechen weil der Schornstein nicht gut zog. Das Haus ist sehr ruhig gelegen, praktisch gar kein Verkehrslärm, lediglich vereinzelt Fußgänger. Die Stellplätze vor dem Haus wurden nachts gar nicht und tags überwiegend von uns selbst frequentiert. Einmal kam ein Gemüsehändler mit einem Pickup herauf (Klingel) und versorgte uns mit Tomaten, Kartoffeln und Orangen. Wir haben viele Wanderungen gemacht, u.a. Pefki-, Sarakina- und Perivolakia-Schlucht und Dasaki Farangi. Wir waren Ostern 2018 dort. Das Haus hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Würden es wieder mieten. Vielen Dank Richard!

jolie petite maison dans un village typique de montagne .

Agréable maison au confort simple. Les habitants du village sont très accueillant . L accès au village en voiture par la route de Pefki est plus simple. (Surtout le soir)

romantisches kleines Cottage für alle, die Ruhe und Einfachheit lieben

Einfach eingerichtetes sauberes Häuschen mit Dachterasse am Rande eines Bergdorfes. Wunderbarer Panoramablick über Berge und Meer. Sehr ruhige Lage. Anfahrt über eine ausgebaute Serpentinenstraße ca. 15 min von der Küste entfernt. Ein wunderbarer Ort zu entspannen.
