A wonderful experience!
You never know what you are going to get when blindly selecting a home base for your vacation based upon pictures alone. The good news is that every expectation was exceeded staying at Luna Blu. The place is family run and it felt like we were a part of the family while we were there. The experience was friendly, clean, casual and always pleasant.
As far as the accommodations, things were top notch. We had a two bedroom unit and both were unique and charming. Lots of plaster work, including built in beds and night stands. Closet duty in each bedroom was handled by an armoire - we never felt like we needed more storage.
We aren't big on air conditioning, but there were nights it was necessary. Unlike most places, each bedroom had new, high capacity mini splits that could cool a room to sub 25 C in a manner of minutes. If you wanted to sleep under a full blanket, it is possible! We were always comfortable, whether using the breeze or the AC.
We like cooking in and the kitchen was better than most. The two burner hot plate was ceramic element which meant that cooking was a snap. Every pot, pan and other item you'd need to cook were there. No microwave, but it wasn't needed. The small refrigerator was adequate, but there was plenty of storage for dry goods. We were able to cook in every night we wanted to.
Bottom line: the place is charming and clean, the people are amazing and the location is fantastic for exploring the Eastern side of Crete. I have absolutely no reservations recommending Luna Blu.
