Sunset Home Crete

Sehr gute telefonische Kommunikation mit dem Gastgeber, extrem hilfsbereit; perfekt ausgestattetes modernes Apartment, wirklich alles da. Gerne wieder...

Zentrale Lage in einem sympathischen Dörfchen an der Südküste Kretas. Gute Ausstattung. Der tollste Kater der Welt leistet Gesellschaft auf der schönen Terrasse vor der Wohnung im EG.

Ein Fliegengitter am zweiten Fenster wäre toll.

My recent stay at the two-bedroom house in the village by the Sea, hosted by Alex, was highly satisfactory. Although we did not meet Alex in person, our communication by phone was prompt, courteous, and very helpful, which ensured a smooth experience. Alex also kindly provided a flexible check-out, which was very convenient. The house was clean, comfortable, and well maintained, providing everything needed for a relaxing stay. I especially appreciated the peaceful setting and the proximity to the sea, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, the quality of the accommodation and the attentive hosting made this stay most pleasant.

One aspect to be aware of is the location of the village. It is about an hour’s drive from Heraklion, with much of the route passing through a deserted mountain area. In particular, the final ten minutes before reaching the village involve a series of around 20 sharp turns, some of which felt potentially dangerous and would benefit from more attention to road safety. Additionally, the village itself is quite basic, offering limited activities. Facilities include only one small minimarket, a few traditional taverns, a single decent restaurant, and one modest beach bar. While the simplicity may appeal to some visitors seeking a quiet retreat, others may find the options rather limited.

The village in which the villa is located is absolutely wonderful - a small authentic Cretan village. The location is extremely close to the beach: a 2 minutes maximum walk, and there is a big public parking just outside the villa. Also, inside, you can find absolutely everything you might need: a big terrace with shade, comfortable beds, a nice living room, and a small kitchen well equipped. It is also worth mentioning that 3 minutes away, there is a wonderful restaurant - Manias - with a great terrace overlooking the sea, which serves delicious meals and has very nice staff.

Everything was perfect. There was nothing we didn't like.
