The owner accepted very early check in, it meant a lot for us after long ferry trip.
The stone house was amazing, full of nature, definitely recommendable!!
Quiet location a 10 min walk from the beach - if you want a complete break this is it. Very friendly and helpful support from the Property Manager - always quick to respond could not ask for better.
Wonderful room, stone built, very rustic. We loved it! It is located in a quiet area, sea is close. Restaurants and supermarkets are closeby, and we had an amazing sunset view. We highly recommend the property. Maria, the property manager has been very helpful and the communication was excellent. Thank you!
Un alloggio unico nel suo genere. Un piccolo angolo di tranquillità da condividere solo con la presenza di dolcissimi gatti e il piacevole rumore dei grilli.
Die Unterkunft ist einfach, aber sehr solide gebaut. Wir waren in einem Apartment untergebracht das komplett aus Steinen besteht. Das Badezimmer war klein, aber aus Marmor und so hat die ganze Unterkunft einen sehr schönen Charakter.
Maria, unser Host, war sehr hilfsbereit und jederzeit ansprechbar.
Der Strand ist ca 10 Minuten entfernt und sehr schön. Ein Supermarkt befindet sich ebenfalls in circa 10 Minuten Entfernung. Wenn man etwas von der Gegend sehen möchte, ist ein Auto nicht verkehrt. Es befindet sich in unmittelbarer Nähe kein Restaurant.
Eine Bushaltestelle ist in 10 Min. erreichbar und der Bus fährt sehr verlässlich. Mit Navigation ist es kein Problem vom Flughafen zur Unterkunft zu kommen. Allerdings hier sei bemerkt, man muss schon noch einige Zeit laufen bis man die Unterkunft erreicht.
Insgesamt ist die Anlage zu empfehlen. Man befindet sich abseits vom Trubel und ist sehr ruhig untergebracht.
Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Just loved the place, extremely quiet, great position to explore the surroundings, excellent communication with the owners, the house is well serviced and gave us a great relaxing time.
Abgesehen von der Einflugschneise nach Heraklion eine sehr schöne, im Olivenhain gelegene, Anlage mit top ausgestatteter Ferienwohnung. Mietwagen ein Muss. Netter Empfang durch Verwalterin Emmanouela, sehr gute Restaurants im entspannten Gouves, weitaus ruhiger als in den zugebauten Touristenhochburgen Chersonnisos bzw Stalis/Malia. Gerne wieder;-)
Η διαμονή μας ήταν πολύ καλή. Το διαμέρισμα ιδιαίτερα άνετο. Ο εξωτερικός χώρος ήταν ιδιαίτερα φροντισμενος. Οι μόνες παρατηρήσεις που έχω να κάνω αφορούν τις θέσεις στάθμευσης που ήταν λιγότερες από τα διαμερίσματα και την καθαριότητα. Μείναμε 8 βράδια και ούτε μια μέρα δεν καθαριστικε ο χώρος. Είχαμε πάντως υπερπληθωρα πετσετων.
These villas are nicely styled, very clean and in perfect condition. They are also in close proximity to the beach and a short drive away from restaurants and shops. The property manager, Emma, was a wonderful help and went above and beyond to assist us during our stay. Would definitely recommend and I hope to be back one day!
