The size of the maisonette/house is 120 sq.m (1290 with a spacious outdoor area and a magnificent garden, full of colours, fragrances and local flora. The relaxing setting and view of the mountains and the sea, combined with the surrounding olive grove creates a tranquil and comfortable environment.

On the first floor of the residence there is a big living room, dining room and kitchen, together with a bathroom and a fireplace. The living room has a big sofa (which can sleep an extra person if needed), an armchair, chairs and tables. The bathroom of the first floor has a bathtub and a shower. On the first floor, there is also a very big balcony with a marble table and chairs for the family and friends to gather around.

Das Objekt befindet sich in 20 Autominuten vom Flughafen Heraklion entfernt. Es liegt abgeschieden und ist damit sehr ruhig. Man sollte mit Auto unterwegs sein, aber an der Hauptstraße gibt es auch Busse in verschiedene Richtungen. Das Haus war sehr schön und auch unsere Betreuunung war sehr zuverlässig und immer bereit, uns zu helfen. Sehr zu empfehlen . .

This is a well appointed apartment set in olive groves and overall was a very good experience. The kitchen was lacking a few key pieces of equipment for those of us who like to cook - no baking trays and only one oven proof dish, no potato peeler. There was no sun lounger but we really enjoyed the choice of terraces/verandahs. Shame that the main terrace was open to the terrace of the apartment adjacent which meant no privacy. The jacuzzi in upstairs bathroom was not working but we were not informed until our arrival. The villa is on the flight path for planes approaching the airport when the wind is northerly - the double glazing ensures a quiet night tho and the air conditioning was super quiet. But these were all small things and overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Essential to hire a car - villa a goodish walk from the irregular buses.

George has been a great friend, and a business partner. I have experienced his 24x7 hospitality during my vacation in his house in Crete. His family, staff and himself are taking such a good care of their guests. We felt like being in a 5 star hotel in a very authentic and traditional Crete environment. Highly recommended and service-oriented host, moreover a great person to go into a discussions and conversations from business and entrepreneurship till politics, life & everything in between.
