Falsche Angaben zum Zielort über Google Maps, brauchten Eskort von Einheimischen. Ansonsten zentrale Lage in einem ursprünglichen griechischen Dorf zu vielen Ausflügsmöglichkeiten. Großzügisches , aber sehr vollgestelltes Haus. Zuvorkommende Gastgeber und gute Küchenausstattung. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und haben uns wohlgefühlt.

Siamo stati ospiti in questa bellissima villa per 3 giorni. Al nostra arrivo abbiamo trovato acqua, frutta e snack a. Davvero utili dopo tante ore di viaggio. La villa e5corcpndata da un bel giardino, arredato con cura e ha la piscina. All'interno gli spazi sono ampi e ben distribuiti, è dotata davvero di ogni comfort: wi -fi, aria condizionata, barbecue, la cucina ha la macchina per caffè espresso, caffè americano, bollitore etc etc. Noi siamo stati in Agosto, nei giorni del festival nel paese vicino di Abvdu sicuramente da visitare. Location assolutamente consigliata.

Ruhige Unterkunft mit großem Garten

Wir waren 16 Tage in dem Ferienhaus und waren zufrieden. Die Gastfreundschaft war 100% Top. Immer zu erreichen! Es war auch mal schön einfach einen Tag im Haud zu bleiben und die Ruhe im Garten zu genießen. Wir waren mit 3 Kindern dort, 1,2 und 3 Jahre alt. Da dort sehr viel dekoriert ist war das das einzige was uns den Urlaub ein wenig erschwert hat. Es ist alles super gemütlich eingerichtet und das Haus hat vorne viele Orangenbäume mit einer kleinen Terasse. Hinter dem Hazs ist dann noch ein riesiger Pool, Hängematten und eine überdachte Terasse. Preis-Leistungsverhältniss ist rundum top. Selbst Kinderbett und Hochstuhl wurden extra für uns organisiert.

Vacation in a local crete neigourhood

The house was far better than expected. the locals very open in this typical small village. We feld us in the passed far away from the main turistic streems.
