There are two identical maisonettes/houses next to each other, which you can rent together if you like. 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. The first floor of the house consists of one bedroom, with two single beds. 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. The view from the balcony is unique, with view of the sea, the surroundings mountains and the olive groves. On the next floor is the master bedroom with a double bed and its own ensuite bathroom. The bathroom has a jacuzzi bathtub and a shower. The master bedroom has a fireplace and also its own big balcony.

A lot of tables with colourful chairs and big sun umbrellas with sunbeds are there to help you relax under the Cretan sun. All this setting is surrounded by our family's century old olive grove, that gives the property a traditional Cretan touch.

This is an immaculate property located in the midst of the olive grove, close to the beach. The location is perfect - close to the airport and touristic areas of Heraklion, yet it is very secluded. It is a 10 min walk to the beach through the nature preserve. There is a small authentic taverna on the beach - you absolutely must try the homemade meatballs there! They also provide sunbeds and umbrellas. There are a few apartments on the property, all belonging to the same family. The grounds are very well tended and very beautiful. My kids (14, 7 and 3) loved it. The apartment has been only recently built to the highest standard. You get all the amenities you would expect. It is our 10th year of vacationing in Greece and this is one of the nicest properties we have been to. The owner, George, is a sweet heart. The location is very convenient for exploring Crete by car. We went to the south coast, the Amari mountain range, Chania, and Agios Nikolaus - all within a 2 hour drive.
